I don't like speaking in English, let alone in Spanish!

Hola,

This week went by so fast! It was a really good week though. We got new missionaries here in the CCM and they are really nice and full of energy haha.

On p-day we went to the temple in the morning and then went shopping after lunch. We went to this huge mall called Paris and they have so many stores! Like Nike, who knew?!

On Thursday evening we got to go contacting out in a park. I was so nervous because my spanish is a little rough, but it went really well. We talked to this guy and he seemed really interested. We gave him a Book of Mormon and got his contact information so the missionaries in that area could visit him. Then we met a lady who spoke better english than spanish and she said she doesn't go to church because she can't understand anything but we got her information for the missionaries. Then everyone else we talked to didn't seem interested but it was a good time and gave us a taste of how it will be in the field.

On Friday we got  to go proselyting on splits with the sisters from the east mission. I was with  Hermana Flory and she had just gotten out of the MTC 4 days before so we only went contacting and door knocking.  They don't knock because there are gates so they just say ¨Hola¨ and the people come outside. Most people weren't home but we talked to this lady who was outside and she seemed interested so we got her information and they were going to go back and have a lesson with her. We also talked to this man who said he only believed in the Old Testament which was weird, but it was still fun and So Hot!  Haha

On Sunday, I had to give a talk in sacrament!! Every week we get a topic and we all have to prepare a talk and President randomly picks people so I had to talk on baptism. It was rough, not gonna lie,  but everyone was saying how good my spanish was after so I guess I'm going somewhere. Then my whole district sang in sacrament ¨I know my redeemer lives¨ verses 1,4 in english and 2,3 in spanish. The spirit was so strong and some of the latinas were crying!

Funny story from sunday:

We were in a pretty serious discussion with President Brady and all of the Americans talking about the temple and what we can say to our investigators about the temple and stuff and then one of the new American Elders raises his hand and says 

¨I'm sorry to interrupt, but I really have to go to the bathroom¨

President says, very seriously, ¨Thanks for letting us all know, but that is probably something you should do before a meeting¨

Sister Brady says calmly¨It's okay your bodies are adjusting to the food¨

So then his companions all had to go to the bathroom with him.

Then in the same meeting, a little later, President was talking about how he met a lady and this was her last time coming to the temple because she lives in Concepcion, which is far away, and he asked us why it would be her last and one of the new American Sisters said ¨Because she's dying!¨

President says ¨Oh you met her too?"

she says ¨No....¨

We all start laughing so hard because the reason it's the ladies last time is because they are building a temple in Concepcion and the next time she would have the chance to come back it will already be built.  Crazy times here in the CCM.

Hope you all have a good week! 

Love Hermana Jepsen
