Hello from Santa Fe

Dear Family,
How are you all ? I am doing great this week. It went by really fast. This week I will be hitting my 6-mouth mark already 1/4 of the mission, it seems the more time you have in the mission the faster it goes. We did get to hear conference, we got to hear all of it , its great to hear the new prophet of the church. It was really great. We had a total of 12 of our investigators come to the conference and they seemed to really enjoy it , they did fell the spirit you could tell that they did. As fare as me and my comp its going really good , its kinda of crazy cuz we are already hitting the last week of are transfer this week, were does the time go...? Oh mom before I forget I received your Easter package that you sent me this week ... Thanks MOM Love you... The work is great the people that we have found this week have a lot of potential , so hopefully we should be getting all these people to be progressing this week.. but we still have a lot of work, the weeks for us just get full of work its crazy , I feel a small part of what dad feels every week, how does he do it?? But what helped us a lot this week was General Conference. One thing that I discovered this week was the burning testimony which I had as I was writing in my journal last night, the Lord just made it click for me last night as I was writing ,it was a great moment for me to truly understand this work. This gospel is the true church , I know I am doing the thing of which the Lord wants me to do in my life, I have felt His love and joy in my soul and have felt His love for his children in these past days. I just want to truly become what the Lord wants me to become during this time in my life so I can truly become a tool in His hands... And I know if I keep doing what He ask of me my time will come.. One thing I really have gotten into the past few weeks that I have been here has been cooking , me and my district leader Elder Kebler just keep cooking food lol, its funny to see us..Mom I have a favor of you.. Please... Its to find a cook book for me. The one elder Kebler has is great its called ..Better Home and Gardens New Cook Book... its a great cook book, but in reality any cook book will do for me lol ... Family I can't tell you how much I love you all , you all are a bunch of great people , all doing the will of the Lord I can tell you all that you all now have new families of your own, how great the ability to say that I have a son of the Lord in my hands , I truly look forward to that day to where I can hold my own son some day , keep strong my family raise them in the right don't let Satan come close to them treasure these moments while you have them cuz sooner than you know it they will be writing you as I am doing right now.. My family let the gospel and the spirit of the Lord fill your house , let it dwell with you day by day, teach the gospel don't keep them from this great gospel take them to church even on days you don't feel strong enough for it , just remember that you will help one of the children of the Lord grow as you go .. just do it for there good. Let them become stronger in the church stronger then us in the church, let the Book of Mormon fill there life. Let them know, my family, that this book was saved for the last days, these days! Don't hide it from them ... my family I know this is kinda of strong but something told me to say it from with in. This is my one desire for you all back at home ... and don't worry I know this can go for me as a missionary as well. Let us help the children of the Lord together....I love you all to the depths of my soul be strong...
Serving The Lord,
Elder Jessup
