Time Format Nightmare Formula

I need to convert these funky time formats into a time format that excel will recognize. Additionally, not all the cells this formula points to are times so it must return "". I managed to get the job done with the UDFs and formula shown below. Does anyone have a better idea?

UDFs:
Function HourFormat(ByRef Hf As Range)
HourFormat = Evaluate("IF(LEN(" & Hf.Address & ")>4,LEFT(" & Hf.Address & ",2),LEFT(" & Hf.Address & ",1))")
End Function
Function MinFormat(ByRef Mf As Range)
MinFormat = Evaluate(Mid(Right(Mf, 3), 1, 2))
End Function

Formula:

=IF(OR(RIGHT(A2)="a",RIGHT(A2)="p"),TRIM(IF(ISERROR(Hourformat(A2)+MinFormat(A2)),"",Hourformat(A2)&":"&IF(MinFormat(A2)<10,"0"&MinFormat(A2),MinFormat(A2))&IF(RIGHT(A2)="a"," AM"," PM"))),"")
