| My cute companion Hermana Dias! |
know mission slang but because I am training they say that our companions are our children haha. It's a little funny. But my companion Hermana Dias is awesome. She loves to work hard and is such a great missionary. We worked very diligently this week and were successful! We are in San Vicente with 2 other Elders, Elder Japa and Elder Shumway. It's crazy because Elder Shumway was my zone leader for 3 cambios in Santa Cruz and now he is finishing the training of Elder Japa here in San Vicente haha. They are cool.

| The Hunzekers (now they are in their house in Idaho) |
This week I got to know a lot of the people that are receiving the lessons. They are all super awesome! We are teaching a cute little girl named Amanda. Her parents are members but have been inactive for a while. Her mom is coming to church now but her dad still comes sometimes. She is super smart and told us the full story of Adam and Eve and even about Cain and Abel the last time we taught her! She's awesome. We are hoping she can be baptized this month.
We are teaching a cute little old man named Moises and he is literally awesome and reminds me of Mario so much! He quit smoking and is reading the BOM and comes to church every week and on Wednesday the Branch is going to the Temple and he is going to go so that he can walk around the temple grounds. He has a baptismal date for the 25th of August.
(All of the others we are teaching are cool too but these 2 are progressing a lot)

The monster of San Vicente Tagua Tagua |
We had our big Zone meeting that we always have at the beginning of each cambio and our zone is huge because we are with San Fernando also. It was good and we set some great goals that will push us to become better.
We had a meeting in Rancagua for the companionships that are in training with President Harris and it was really good. I was kind of nervous to train but President Harris just talks and makes everything so much better and he always has great scriptures to share.
Since my companion is from Brazil and I can speak spanish now, I am learning Portugués! I can read it and understand basically everything and even when people talk but it's hard to speak it hah. I am getting better though. It is super similar to spanish just with a different accent.
There are a lot of really awesome members here. It is really weird to go to church and have like 50 people in the building because im so use to Chepica where there were like 10 sometimes haha. But the members are willing to go to lessons with us and are really nice. I bore my testimony on Sunday and shared Alma 17: 23 (not really sure how it says it in english but you guys can look it up) and the members thought it was funny so that's good. But it's for real. I love that it says "Deseo morar entre este pueblo" because it's true I want to be here and desire to be here and I will do all I can while I am here to strengthen the branch.
I hope you all have a great week and can finish your summer in a great way!
Love Hermana Jepsen
