This week was a little crazy because it was the end of the Cambio! 😱 I know time has flown! We had our last district meeting and it was really sad because our district leader Elder Monja is going home so we had to say goodbye to him.  It was really sad saying goodbye because its like we develop a little family and then it just gets broken up and we might not ever see these people again...sad. But its the mission! 

We had a Noche De Hogar with our investigators with baptismal dates. We have a 77 year old lady who is so cute and amazing. She has a lot of health problems and other difficulties but we are working with her to get through them! 

Me and Hermana Collins!  She is Amazing!

On Thursday we had a reunion of the new Missionaries in training in Rancagua and it was good. I got to see Hermana Collins again and she is amazing and soooo strong! During the meeting President Harris talked a little about being able to recognize if it is the spirit or our own thoughts and basically he just said ¨If you are keeping your covenants and it is a good thought, IT IS FROM GOD¨

Okay, I bet your are all dying to know now about cambios and....Drum Roll, I'm staying in Paine!! Woohooo! BUT Hermana Lyons is leaving....so I'm getting a new companion. Her name is like Scaves or something ( not really sure how to spell it or say it actually haha but tomorrow  I will learn). But I'm really excited for her to come. She is from Brazil and so my spanish will have to improve because I'll only be able to communicate with spanish.  It´ll be a good change!

 

I would like to now share a spiritual thought:

I read the talk by Elder Jose Alonso "Love One Another as He has Loved You" and I love where it says "Love without service is like faith without works; its dead indeed"

This really hit me hard especially as a missionary because it's so true. I have so much love for everyone I meet. We talk to someone in the street and I'm like "Wow, I love that person, What was their name again?" It is the weirdest feeling in my whole life. Also our investigators are just so amazing and my love for them is so great. I want them all to follow the example of Jesus Christ and be baptized and be saved! The mission is great! Serve others with your whole heart might mind and strength.

" I love you because I feel it inside my heart!"

Love Hermana Jepsen
