Elder Hunter Jeppson: Marshall Islands/Kiribati Mission & New Jersey Morristown : Missionary Houses = Goodwill

Hello Hello Everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic week filled with smiles, laughter, and fun. This week was pretty solid if I have to say so myself. We met some new people and had a couple awesome experiences, so let's jump right to it;

First off, doing service just got approved for us which is awesome because now we are packing our schedule full of it. We were able to go do service for our friend Cindy who we are teaching right now, and it was awesome! She had a pretty decent sized yard that was covered with leaves, I mean I couldn't see one spot in the the whole yard where the ground was actually showing haha. Anyways 25 big black bags filled with leaves later, her yard was looking very good. The coolest part about it was when we were in the middle of raking, she came up to us and asked, "wait so what do I need to do to become baptized?" We were super surprised that's she asked that but mostly we were super excited! It was cool because we went to her house just to serve her, we weren't planning on teaching her anything. That's why we were pretty surprised when she asked that because it came out of nowhere haha. We were able to tell her what she needs to do, so hopefully in the next couple weeks she can get baptized. We also put an add on Facebook for free leaf raking so we have a pretty full week this week.

Something super awesome happened to us on Friday. A member in our ward is moving out west and is getting rid of all there furniture. They couldn't sell these 2 couches and desk so they asked if we wanted them. Well since our 2 couches have been around since the dinosaurs we happily took the new ones. They also gave us some cool road signs and license plates which we hung up on our walls haha. The lesson here is, if you cant sell furniture give it to your local missionaries because odds are they are in need of some 99% of the time hahah. You could say that are houses are a Goodwill haha because we will happily accept donations.

Spiritual Food:

You should all go and read 3 Nephi 12:44 and apply it to your own lives, especially during this crazy time in our lives.

"But Behold I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you and pray for them who despitefully use you and persecute you"

Well hope you all have a great week and remember to smile!

I tangiringkami!
