Cuando a Roma fueres, haz como vieres


Hello Hello,

It’s been a week.  Not a crazy one. A pretty normal one.  I feel like I always tell you that it’s been a fast week and that I don’t have that much time to write, so I’ll just stop writing that and let everybody assume that it is always true.  Sound good? Perfect.

Last Wednesday we had that Family Home evening thing with Melissa and Wilmur, Sonia’s daughter and her boyfriend.  It went really well. We did an activity with drawings and let them see for 30 seconds but then took it away and they had to draw however much they could remember and explained that was like the Great Apostasy.  People made churches out of what they could remember. Some things were correct and some things were close, but they were still far from the original drawing.  Pretty cool. We told them we would call and set something up to get them a book of Mormon for this week too, but we still haven’t been able to get a hold of them and they didn’t go to church.

The Colombians did though.  The parents, the non-rebel child, the baby, and the grandma.  Just sacrament meeting, but still cool.  They then set up an appointment with us for yesterday afternoon, but when we went they were all at work, so we found out that they’re super busy this entire week.  Lame.  But we’ll see what’s up with them on Sunday. Hopefully they come to church again.  It’s hard not being able to meet with them though. Ugh. If you’re looking fro work and it’s super hard just meet with the missionaries and you’ll ALWAYS get too much work to be able to meet with them again. That’s the secret in this blasted crisis that everybody talks about.

The Peruvian family, busy.  He has been working a lot and we haven’t been able to meet with them either.  Lame.  We also met with a legit Mexican family this past week though.  Mom, Dad, and two kids.  They’re from la capital.  The City. They were way cool.  Trying to keep the family really important and the all. They were like the core family that this country can’t seem to find.  They did seem a little hesitant about meeting with us again though.  We’re gonna pass by tonight to see if we can set something up.  There really was a different feeling there in that lesson though. It made me all trunky and think about Elder Robbins.  Mexicans. Elder Robbins.  Ay, ay, ay.  Chido.  Jajaja.

Apart from that we just keep trabajando the normal stuff.  Adel, the baptism from early September, is a freakin machine!  He is our new ward missionary and he is supperrr legit.  We have taken him to some visits and he’s always up for it and he’s always legit. I feel like karma is helping me out after going out with the missionaries in North Logan.  Except I’m receiving a bigger blessing than I ever was. 

Transfers are this week.  We actually found them out today.  So we’ll be planning those in the next couple of days and delivering them out on Monday and Tuesday.  I’m sure it’ll be great fun/this transfer doesn’t seem to be too crazy, so hopefully it all goes well.  Elder Woodbury and I are still together, but the last 2 office workers were in for 4 and a half transfers.  Elder Woodbury is at 3 and a half, so we think in 3 weeks he’ll get his trainee (my next companion) and in 6 weeks he’ll be out.  He definitely is wanting out of the office at this point haha but he’s great about it. He’s not like some of the older office workers that hated the world.  Ugh. So lame. 

That’s it. Happy Birthdays to Gavin (21) and Anne Fitzgerald (yesterday). Those are the two I remembered from last week. I’m gonna get better at announcing these bad boys (hopefully).  Also, I think it’s important to point out that we’ve all been "speaking now" for 1 year.  Hahahaha I’m so ridiculous...

Love,
Elder Jeppson
