It looks like they are so busy and having a lot of success!
Hola!
Ok wow this week has been crazy. We were supposed to have a baptism Sunday but Gabriel (the investigator) was really really sick, so we will have 3 this next Sunday and then 1 on Mother's day and one on the 17th of May... yes that makes 5! Crazy! I've been working hard and focusing. I love my companion she is really awesome and has a great spirit about her. We get along great. We are teaching a few other promising people who we hope to extend baptismal commitments to soon. Texas weather is weird. It can't decide whether or not to rain or be sunny, but it is always warm/hot. haha.
Spanish is still coming slowly I'm speaking a little more, but I still struggle with understanding anything haha. They speak fast here. Oh well it is coming.
Things really are good here. My district is amazing and they are super supportive of my comp and me.
Things are going good. I just ask that you all continue to pray especially for our investigator Jasser he knows the gospel is true he is just struggling with making the step of getting baptized so pray for him.

From Texas
This is part of a letter from Dana sent last week.
I'm in Texas! Crazy I know. It is really really green here, and apparently it rains frequently I experience that yesterday. I got soaked it was interesting. I got here and met my AP's both of whom are from Centerville and Elder Greg Whipple knows Eric. I was excited about that. My Trainer is a cute girl from Minnesota named Kimberly Torres. She is a hard worker which is good. Down fall she is a morning person and LOVES pink. haha o-well.
I'm struggling with the language and it frustrates me like no other, but the people are way nice and understanding. Most of them are trying to learn english so that they can get better jobs. We are teaching this one guy who got drunk friday so we had to push back is baptisimal date. I was so dissappointed in him he is such a great guy and you can tell he knows this is the true church, but he just slipped up, so hopefully we can help him understand the mistake he made later tonight. We have a golden investogator. Anthony... He loves to read the BOM and he came to church without hesitation on Sunday. I thought that was awesome. I just hate the fact that I can't really communicate with him. Other then that we have a few other people we are working with, and hopefully they will continue to progress.
My p-day is Mondays which is nice. I'm currently in an area just 20 mins north of Sugar Land. It is really pretty here.
And this is part of her email from this week.
It did rain a ton here and a few areas got hurricane warnings which means missionaries weren't allowed out of their houses, but that wasn't my area. I currently live in Harbor Town. It is really pretty and green. The people here are really nice and accepting. My spanish is coming slowly, but I get to bare my testimony alot which is good. My comp. is really strong and she is helping me as I'm struggling. She is a great influence and loves the work more than anything haha. She is the oldest of 4 and has a kid brother out like I do. He is in Colorado.
We have a baptism this week. His name is Gabriel and he is AMAZING. He has this great testimony and just loves the Church. We have another guy who accepted a baptismal commitement for the 2nd of May coolio. He is Golden. He is just soaking in all that we teach and all that he reads it is cool. We are super busy all the time. I'm exahusted by 8, but that is ok. I'm sleep walking by 9. I sleep well haha. I'm trying to stay focused and do the Lord's work.
I love you all. I miss you all.
The Gospel is true and no matter what God is our Father and He loves us. He is mindful of us and wants us to come unto Him.
