My family!!

I love you guys!

Ok, so conference was awesome!  LOVED IT!!  We got to the church to watch and I was about to have to watch in spanish, and then there was a girl that got back from her mission 3 months ago and she was watching in english, so i was able to listen to all but the last session in english.  SO AWESOME!!  Guys, missionary work.  Thats where its at.  Im totally going on a mission for old folks someday.  I hope everyone at home is helping with the missionary efforts.  i can tell you one thing, the people that have a friend in the church are a lot more eager to get baptized.  

This week someone asked me if I'm from china.  just a btdubs, i could be chinese.

So i saw Kenzie Bowcutt in the choir from the mtc?!  Where is she going?  I had no idea!

Umm... oh!  one of our investigators that has been lost for a while came to general conference!! So awesome!  He has some problems with the word of wisdom that we are working through before he can get baptized, but it was so awesome, he hasnt come to church in forever and he finally got to hear the prophet speak! 

Hermana Yepez has been a little bit sick lately and last night at about 11 something she woke me up, but you know how I am when im sleeping... a rock.. so it took a while to wake me up.  and when she finally did wake me up I was under the impression that I had fallen alseep while we were praying!  so i was saying how sorry i was and everything while she was trying to say how sick she was.  And then i fell asleep again... i remember thinking, I should probably go help her, all i told her was "you can go to the bathroom" and then about 30 minutes later she woke me up again to say she was still sick and my advice was to drink some water?  yeah, i dont know either... #suckycompanionaward I am absolutely no help when I am asleep.  absolutely none.  

Dont hate me, but thats all ive got for ya... I do love you though!  and ill try to send pictures!  

Be happy and safe and i love you guys!  

Love Hermana Evans

I have a little bit longer so I thought I would tell you guys a bit more about my investigators!

So we have one woman named Telma that really is awesome. She is lost right now, but she is awesome.  Her husband lives in the states but we got to her house the other day and she actually had read part of the Book of Mormon!  How awesome!!  I love it when people actually do the things we leave with them!

Marco Tulio went to General Conference this weekend!  He wasnt going to go, he was tired, but we called him sunday morning and he decided why not.  So he went!  And we want to get him baptized really soon, he just has to be married, and his wife doesnt want to marry him... but dont worry guys, well figure something out!

Another, Juan Miguel, he actually is reading the book of mormon too!  And he has so many questions!  he has already told us that he knows he needs to get baptized, he just wants to be more sure of himself.  

We found one kid that has 16 years and he is kind of into hoodlumry, but he is really kind, and his mom wants us to change him.  That was actually pretty funny!  She came up to us in the street and asked us to visit her son and one day we came back to visit him, and she was there alone... so we taught her!  she just kept saying, "oh i really just wanted you to visit my son!"  But she is pretty positive too.  

There is one girl that the elders that were here a while ago were visiting her, but not anymore, so we found her again and challanged her to be baptized and she really is super positive!  She really has questions of her soul!  Its the people that actually have questions that progress.  They want to learn more, so they really try!  

We were looking for a family the other day, but we never found them... instead we found a guy that has about 17 years and his little brother or cousin, i dont remember.  but it was so cool!  the little kids are always the most positive!  Seriously!  The little kid paid attention the whole time and we are visisting them today.  Turns out they dont really have parents, but they have guardians, and we are going to baptize them all.  Im sure of it.  but ok, thats about all i have time for.

I love you guys so much!!!  Adios!
