Here is a letter from Elana's mission President and his wife original and translation.

Looks like she is being the missionary we knew she could be! she is really making an impact in peoples lives!!... Here is the translation... feel free to pass it along to anyone that wants an outsiders opinion of how great Sister McGaught is doing:

Esteemed Brother and Sister McGaughy:

I want to thank you for sending your daughter on a mission. She is one of our best missionaries and now she is going to train a new comanion. Your daughter loves this work and she is working hard to bless the lives of others. She is able to do this because you have taught her well the gospel and now she is growing even more in it. Know that we as a family, watch out for and care for her in her mission and if she needs anything she can count on us.

We send our love and thanks,

Dario y Gloria Lorenzana

Estimados Hnos. Mcgaughy:

Quiero agradecerles por enviar a su hija a la mision, ella es una de nuestras mejores misioneras y ahora ella va a entrenar a una nueva compañera. Su hija ama a esta obra y esta trabajando duro en bendecir la vida de los demas, y eso lo a logrado porque ustedes le han enseñado bien el evangelio y ella esta creciendo. Sepan que nosotros como familia la estamos ciudando en su mision y si ella necesita cualquier cosa nosotros le atenderemos.

Nos despedimos con mucho cariño,

Dario y Gloria Lorenzana
