| Hermana Dias, Margarita and Me. |
This week we got everything almost ready for the baptism of Moises and Amanda for the 25th.(This Saturday) We are sooo excited! They are both so ready to be baptized!
We went to visit a cute little older lady named Margarita.She is a less active member. She lives in the area of the Elders but lives alone so they can't visit her but we can! She was super excited to see us and just wanted us to stay and visit with her all afternoon. She fed us cookies and juice and just kept feeding us until we had to say that we needed to leave haha. Then she kept asking when we could come visit her again. I think she just needed some love and someone to talk to. She came to church on Sunday! I really believe that if we take the time to visit or send a little message of love more people will start coming to church.
We had intercambios this week also. I went to San Fernando with Hermana Roberts. She is super awesome! It was also nice to be able to speak a little in English with her haha.

2 cute little girls ran up to us one day and asked if we wanted to buy completos for their fundraiser for school so that they could go to the zoo! So of course we said yes and bought completos haha. Then one of them was telling us that we could go to her church if we wanted and that we are always invited. I told hermana Dias that she would be a great missionary one day haha.
We were contacting houses and we contacted a house and there was a cute little Haitian girl outside so we asked if her mom was home and she said yes. Her mom came out and we asked if we could talk to her about the gospel and she told us to come back the next day. So we went back the next day and her husband was home too and we taught them about the Book of Mormon and they were just so interested and want to change their lives and start reading the BOM. It was a really great lesson and it just made me remember how awesome it is to be on a mission and find people who really want to change.
On Sunday we had 4 people that we are teaching in the church. Moises, Amanda, and Alcindor we had invited but when we asked the name of the other guy, Arnold, if he had come with Alcindor he said "No, I was just looking for a church to go to and found Alcindor on the way and decided to come." What?! How crazy right?! He said he´d been here in San Vicente for about a week and was looking for a church. Its pretty amazing to me that when people want to find the truth God will help them.
This week I was reading in Ether about the Brother of Jared and I love how much faith he had. We need to always have so much faith that God will have to give us blessings because he always keeps
his promises.
Have a great week! Thanks for all your Love, prayers, and support.
Love,
Hermana Jepsen
