Family,
Its so good to hear from you all. I am glad to see that everything is going good at home. I am glad to see that in all matters in all situations that you are all being protected from the powers from on high. I am glad to hear of everything. Its really scary but at the same time its a true blessing to have the companion of the Holy Ghost.
This past week was a good week for us , we had a baptism of a family of tour, the Vega Family.. i must say it was Such a great thing to see a family make that leap of faith, into the church. The family is a really good family, they all seem. To have a really good testimony of the church. So that was last week on Saturday night. The ward seem. To be really excited i must say to see them finally become members. So that was a huge thing to see, it was also my very frist family that we have found and baptised in my mission.
I must say though the next day was the better day when we got to confirm the family members of the church of Jesus christ of alter day saints , and give to them the holy ghost. So that was another frist for me in my mission as well .
Well family this week we have transfers coming up , so we really don't know what's going to happen both my comp and i , if we are leaving or if we are staying together, in are area. So its really all up in the air on what's going to happen were not to sure on anything, and they still have not told us , the zone leaders are playing with us….not fun…
Well the assistant just called me from the offices.. and it turns out that i am going to be TRAINING who world of thought, of all things his name is Elder Crapo i think he from Utah. Wow this is crazy i must say…..:0 yeah thats what i said..Well family how crazy is that , and my compa, is gong down to the south of the mission, Estacion is the name of the Barrio, its in the city of San Niciolas . And he is going up to comp Mayor. So its sad that we must go are ways but what can we do the lord needs us in different parts, i guess… what a sad day but yet its a exciting day as that cuz w look forward to the things that are coming up , so its what's going to happen…
Family i love you all i am going to be sending you all so photos , to see what's been gong on in the mission. I love you all and i know that you are all being protected in your lives , thank you mom for the packages that you are all sending me . and for the Money. I think i know what i am going to be getting you all …. But it also depends on how much you are all sending to.. Thank you for everything family wish me luck on the training lol….
Loving the Work

Monica's Conversion Story
This is a comment left on the blog on October 17, 2008. Below is Elder Jessup's response.
I don't know who will read this, hopefully the family of Elder Jessop. So my name is Brother Anderson, I served in the mission with Elder Jessop. Not as a companion but I met him when he got to the mission home. I had a great experience to post here.I'll try to make it brief. When my parents picked me up from the mission on May 15th 2008, we went to Santa Fe in the area of General Lopez, where I had served. I visited a convert I had grown to love named Oscar Mendoza, and his daughter Susana Mendoza, also his wife Monica. I also invited Oscar's wife to go to church because she always refused and I wanted her to go. Then last week I wanted to see if the statistics for the Argentina Rosario mission were posted. within my search I found Elder Jessop's blog with a picture of Oscar's wife Monica and daughter Ayalen getting baptized. It was one of the happiest things I've ever seen. As the whole family has accepted the gospel and continue firm.Now I do ask that whoever reads this blog could write Elder Jessop and have him tell her conversion story! I'd LOVE to hear it. to whoever reads this my email is ajon13@hotmail.com. Please write and inform me. Congratulations Elder Jessop, You've had a great mission October 17, 2008 11:04 PM

The story was that one day Monica woke up and she told us she had to go to chruch with her husband Oscar , so she went. In relief society she started to cry during the class and she told us that she truly felt that this is the true chruch. So after we heard this we started to teach her, took her to General Conference, and within a short time later she decided to be baptized in the chruch. To tell you the truth it was so amazing to see the lords hand in our lives. I went ahead and bought her a huge triple and i have talked to the Elders serving in the area. They say that she is still going strong. She was a true blesing to get to teach in the mission.

How Blessed We Are
Family,
It's so good to hear from you all. This week went really good this past week on Saturday we had a baptism, and it was really exciting to see a member actually baptize him. His name is Hernan and he is 11 years old so it was quite nice. Everything is going extremely well in this new area of Pompeya in Santa Fe. This area is just full of youth that are willing to work with us and its a real nice help. Elder Craner is a true stud , my junior comp, him and I for the past 3 weeks have been able to get the standards of the mission , its quite a honor to be serving with Him in this area.
Its really sad to hear that Daryl got his car stolen, especially on Thanksgiving day of all the days. Its really sad to hear but Word of advice to Daryl is just keep your head up , and keep going strong in the ways of the Lord and the Lord will bless you in His way , maybe a better car or your same civic .. so just keep strong in the right path.
Also thanks mom for putting the Money in my account , cuz it turns out that I was just going to ask you to put some Money in for shoes, both pairs that I have left have started showing there time in the field and they are starting to get holes in them. So I am really going to use that Money on some good shoes. For the package that you would like to send to me the only thing I ask is a photos of my bike and fotos of all you all in the family , a good family foto with all the babies , and the last thing would be a good all around cook book, of foods to deserts etc… that's really all I think I would need for Christmas.. its quite different how the whole mind set changes in the mission and you come to realize how blessed we are in our very own lives in so many ways. I have come to realize how great of a family that I really have, and it truly is the thing I am most grateful for I really must say.. so really don't worry about sending me to much staff, maybe letters from the family would be another cool idea to put in the box as well , maybe even members from the ward, if there is any one who remembers me lol … the family is my top priority I must say. And photos I would love, cuz really that's what more people ask to see in the mission. So i really think that is all I am really going to need for the holidays this year..
But I must say family that everything is going quite well in the mission , in about two more weeks we have a baptism of a family of 4, its the family Vega. They have been listing to the missionaries for a while now and they just have been waiting on wedding papers to get baptised , so they CAME in and now they are getting baptised in the church , they are pretty much mormons with out the waters of baptism lol ….:)
I love you all , I have a question for you all for the call of Christmas , when would you all want me to call in the morning or afternoon , so we can know what time to call you all at home or you call us … so just so we can plan around it …
So i hope everything keeps going good for you all , there is no need to worry if i am getting food or not, cuz we eat with the members about 5 times of the week so its really nice. I just hope I don't gain weight in the mission. Its my only fear lol , but everyone is telling me i lost some weight cuz I look skinner … and with the heat coming its not going to help any lol.. it was very interesting this past week we had a lot of rain in Santa Fe, so we had a rainy week lol … there is one more thing i want to ask mom its about my debt card so do we know whats going to happen when it expires, in Feb… ¿ am i going to need to send you mine or anything weird like that… so if you can find out information on that it would be a good help..
Other then that I am sending you all some photos i hope you all enjoy them..Tell next week and thank you for everything family i love you all …
