Thanksgiving

This week was good. 
Hermanas in my zone! 


On Monday night we went to a reference from a member named Ema, she is from Peru. She let us in a we taught her right  away and she is awesome! In her prayer she said "thank you for answering my prayer and sending these two cute girls here and please let them come back again" It was so cute! 

We also are helping Francisco and Maria and Teresa get ready for their baptism on the 7th! and for the first time Fransisco prayed this week! 
I got to see Hermana Aquino! Woohoo! I love her lots

We had Zone Conference this week on Thanksgiving so they made us a thanksgiving lunch but it was Nothing like a good home made thanksgiving meal but at least they tried! and that's what counts. I looked better than it tasted jaja.
We went to visit Anita again that lives in the country. She is so cute! We taught her the Restoration and she said that is makes sense! 

We taught a man named Felipe that is from a different religion and he knows SO much about the Bible and I basically know NOTHING about the bible so it'll be interesting to keep teaching him! We will have to study a lot! But thats okay! Its good to study and gain more knowledge! 

Well that's about all for the week! It was a good week and we saw a lot of miracles!

Crazy Weather

In our "rain gear" !
This week was good but man the weather is crazy! It is sooo hot and then the next day it rains!

What the heck?! Just pick! Haha but it's been fun leaving the house with leggings and a coat and then after lunch getting sunburnt! ha. One day we walked around in trash bags again...

Chilean bread!
This week was good but LOCO we traveled a lot again. We had 2 intercambios. One with the hermanas in Jardín del Valle and one with the hermana trainers in Rancagua. It was really awesome and I learned a lot but a funny story from our time in Rancagua is that we were there in their house studying and one of the Hermanas went to the bathroom and then never came back for a long time and then another hermana came to ask a question and there was water running out of the bathroom! She had flooded the bathroom and wasn't going to tell anyone! Haha but then chao chao personal study, we helped her clean the carpet and the bathroom haha.

We visited Ximena again this week and she is still amazing and she asked us "hermanas if I don't feel ready to be baptized yet will you still come visit me?" We said "YES of course!" She is learning so much and is progressing a lot! 

One day it was raining really hard and we were contacting and finally a cute family let us in and we shared with them and they were so nice and we are really seeing the blessings of working diligently.

We went with the bishop to a lady that lives really far away. She is super cute and is willing to learn more.

Well that's about all for the week! Have a great week!

Elder Gong

On our way to Rancagua for the conference.
Wow, This week was awesome. We saw a lot of miracles again. We found a lot of new people to teach and kept teaching the people we found last week!

Me and Hermana Howells

One day we received a reference from Elder Faundes, who is an area 70, of a lady named Ximena. She was in a car accident and broke a lot of bones and is now on bed rest. The bishop went to visit her first and then gave us her directions. We were like thanks and said we would pass by. The next day we didn't have plans to pass by her house but one of our lessons fell through and I felt so strongly that we needed to pass by her house. So we went and she let us in immediately and she started telling us about her accident and I was almost crying because the spirit was so strong. Then there was a pause and she said "I thought you weren't going to come. Yesterday the man (the bishop) said that 2 angels were going to come visit me today and so I waited all morning long and you never came." Well then we really started to cry for real. She is a very, very special lady. I know that she was in the accident so that she could receive the gospel and that we needed to be the "angels" to find her. Now the story gets better, on Saturday Elder Gong and his wife and Elder Bragg and his wife and Elder Faundes and his wife (the same one who gave us the reference) came to talk to us. Wow how special was that!  I'll write more of that later but, Elder Gong gave some time for people to share experiences so of course we shared about Ximena and as we talked Elder Gong stopped us and asked Elder Faundes to come over and he asked him if he trusted us enough to take care of Ximena and he said "yes of course I do" Well it was an experience I will never forget. Being in the presence of an apostle of God and other servants of him and then being able to know that he trusts in us to be here was just something unforgettable!!
Our Conference with Elder & Sister Gong, Elder & Sister Bragg and Elder & Sister Faundes.  Can you find me?

This week we also had interviews and President Harris is just so inspired. He told me that "We are not sissy little girls" Haha He is so funny.

We put a baptismal date with a cute old lady named Teresa! She's awesome! 

Okay, the conference from Elder Gong was awesome!!! He talked a lot about how we are called to our missions for a lot of reasons and that we need to learn more about the doctrine of Christ always! 

It was a good week!  Have a great week! 

Love Hermana Jepsen

Muchos Milagros

My new companion Hermana Howells.
This week was crazy! We traveled a lot for cambios and also because we are hermana Leaders so we had to go to Rancagua and because its my first time being a hermana leader we had to stay for another meeting! It was a lot of meetings but it was good and we learned a lot! 

We also started the week with 0 people to teach and we ended the week with 11 new people and 5 of them went to church so that was a huge miracle! 

Forgot the umbrellas!
One day this week it rained and we forgot our umbrellas so we got soaking wet haha! It was my last day with hermana Dias. We went to say goodbye to the cute members in San Vicente. It was good and also kind of sad...
This week was really crazy and we are just really excited to keep working hard in Talca. 

Have a great week! 

Love Hermana Jepsen
