Family,

The Torres family is going alright. They forgot that church was changed to 1:00. The 11 year old daughter reads more than anyone else. She said she just finished reading the book Artimus Fowl, and when she went back to return it she decided just to check out a small book, because she wanted to spend her time learning about Jesus. She has to read an hour a day for school, so she reads the Book of Mormon. We just need to get the Mom more into it. She agrees with everything we say, she just has a hard time going it.

We found a cool family this week. It was 8 oclock at night on a Monday and we were walking out of an apartment complex. As we were passing by, this lady doing her laundry outside we talked to her for just like a minute, her name was Alejandra. Then we went back and taught a lesson on Tuesday. Passed by Thursday to remind them of their Friday appointment, then gave them a tour of the church Saturday. They were going to go to church Sunday but her dad came up from Mexico to visit them. So tonight we are going to have them come with us to a member's house to have a Family Home Evening. We have seen them everyday for the last week and they are really cool. Alejandra says the Bible confuses her, and that she's been around to a bunch of different churches, but she doesn't really go to church. Which is good because it means they're looking, and except for church on Sunday they've kept every commitment.

I finally went to Walmart and developed some pictures.
