Address Change
Just to let everyone know, Elder Jessup's Address has changed. It is listed to the left. Thank you.
It Does Not Really Matter How Hard Times Are...
Familia,
How is everything going? This week was a great week , every night we got home just straight dead tired. We have been working really hard all week long to see the fruits of the labors, we had one investigator in church , a kid that we are teaching named Jesus, so we had Jesus in church this past week! lol. But I must truly say I am starting to truly like this barrio and this town of which I am in, its more like a lil city, but its so laid back and mellow…..I want to live here , now thats just shooting for the moon…lol
I must say that the mission is really going pretty good over here in the city of Salto, Argentina.. my comp, and I are doing really well , he's a good guy.. we are really getting along together.. the crazy thing that I still can't get over is that he and I have the same birth day, the 27 of Feb..I almost wonder if that's why the president put us together???..I must say its really crazy…lol
What is really so crazy is that this area is extremely peaceful, I have never seen a area so laid back especially coming from a area as busy as Santa Fe , the capital.. everything was so fast there compared to here… it's a whole different World compared to the big two cities I was previously in. So its nothing like those cities…but its a great place…the work is a lil bit hard but its fine I cuz I know that the Lord has children here in this area of His…for the Lord knows the children that he wants in church , we just got to be bold enough and invite them unto the Lord.. so I must say we just got to put are shoulder to the Wheel and Start pushing Right?
(….Digo pues ,por la gracias que me es dada,a cada cual que esta entre vosotros, que no tenga mas alto concepto de si que debe tener, sino que piense de si con cordura, conforme a la medida de fe que dios repartio a cada uno….Romanos..12:3..)
So I must tell you all, family that it does not really matter how hard the times are in are lives, as long as we have the faith to get us through our up and down points of life , cuz we know He will always be there working for us in life. For life is a tough thing and this is coming from your lil brother , I know that you all have more experience but I just thought I would say just keep going strong in the faith that our great parents taught us sense we have been young..
Family I know that we will all pull through these times that we are facing us, and we will grow like the Lord wants us to, only the Lord knows how we will grow as he tests our faith in Him…
Family I love you so much its so hard to write I wish I could go give you a hug right now each one of you….I love you all so much..thank you for everything..that you have done..
MOM MY card s data is 02/09 is all that I can remember, but I'm pretty sure thats all it says on it…. I will double check on that for you but thank you for the birthday package… I love you all

It's a Whole Different World
Famila,
Hey how is everything going back at home? Everything going good back home i hope so .. i must say this new area of mine is totally different from what i am used to i must say. It feels like i am outsider of the mission. Its a whole different World i must say..lol
My new comp is a cool guy he is from Orlando Florida, his name Is elder Kite , his dad i a x NBA player , Greg Kite… how crazy is that… he is the frist one to head out of his family , and the third of 10 kids.. Big family.. i must say he is a really good kid , its really pretty crazy that him and i have the same Birth day… thats rite the same Birth day , i think thats why the president put us together lol… but he turns 20 and i will be hitting 21…i am soooo old lol..
But as of now we are doing really good together i must say.. the Orly thing id that the area is a lil hard hearted i must say.. Its a place called Salto , it s a town of about 40 thousand people , pretty big for 2 elders.. nut the good thing is that its not as hot ass Santa Fe is , its at the very south of the mission , in the Provence of Buenos Aires.. so now i can say i have been in all 3 provinces of the mission. .. but all in all it a good area. The lord wants me here for a reason i must go forth and carry out his great work.. in this area…i know i must keep the purpose in my heart..
(….este , cuando llego ,y vio la gracia de dios ,se regocio ,y exhorto a todos a que con proposito de corazon permanecisen fieles al Señor…Hechos 11: 23…)
So as long as i keep up the right attitude it should be fine i must say the lord puts in areas to test us a to make us grow in the mission and i life..do i hope the new area has the people Ready to hear the gospel of the lord cuz i am going to bring it to them…lol
But i know with the help of the lord that my companion and i are going to be able to find the people in the area of Salto.. elder kite and i are going to do good i can fell it , for the transfer , here.. i know that his a good guy and he did not like his last comp. So i am going to try and do everything for the better of the companionship… so that s what i am going to be doing as the senior comp…
Family i love you all, have a great week, i wish you all the best in work , health, etc.. i love you all , i know though that the lord is looking out over you all . have a great rest of the week … i love you all …
Love you all , tell next week …..

Bye O Great Land of Pompeya
Familia,
Well hello how are you all doing i am so glad that everything is going well at home. This week was a better week i must say. We had a total of 3 investigators, in church, which was really relieving and good i must say. We did get the transfers and i am leaving i am going down to Pergamino in the south of the mission, its in the third province of the mission, so now i can say i have served in all the provinces of the mission. Entre Rios , Santa Fe , and now Buenos Aires… how crazy i must say.. so i Hill be getting a new companion, his named elder Tite , no idea who he is. Also my companion is getting a new comp named elder Leal, a latin so he is going to jump right into spanish now he will do fine… i positive.
I must say i am pretty sad that i am going to be leaving Santa Fe , i really wanted to stay here in this area.. this is the first time i have ever felt the pain of leaving so strong in one area, i truly loved this area, of Pompeya. I am going to miss the members of the area to the hot hot sun burning down on us each and everyday . the whole vibe of Santa Fe is a amazing and i love it. The whole thing i must say is going to be a sad depart from here….. i know its going to be tough and that the lord will help us get through it and help the members that we leave behind and recent converts… i know the lord will take care of this very area…
(…. El que ama su vida, la perdera; y el que aborrece su vida en este mundo, para vida eterna la guardara.. si alguno me sirve, sigame; y donde yo estuviere, alli tambien estara mi servidor. Si alguno me sirviere, mi padre le honrara….Juan 12: 25-26..)
I must leave to serve the lord and for i am after all in his great work. I know he knows what is best for me a parents to a child , so i must say that i will do his will. For i am in the great work of his i and i know that he has people waiting for me there, and that i must help them there, as we move forward in this work..
As of my birth day i truly don't know of anything that i World need or want… wait i just lied i World like more ties and socks…. Yeah for sure thats it… .. that is all i ask i must say..
Well family i love you all thank you for everything that you all have done for me in this work and in this , life , i truly do thank you from the depths of my Heart. I love you all in your own ways. I know that this is the great work of the lord that i am a fisher of man in this very moment and that i love this very time … thank you all..
Tell next Play…
I love you all from the Youngest

The Power of a Journal
Hello how are you all doing.. i glad to here that everyone had a good week.. but a hard week i must say we had a rouge spot in the mission or in this area. This week not one of our investigators showed up to church today , it was a huge bust i must say.. so it was a lil bit of f a down fall i must say to see not one person showed up.
So i must say this week me and my comp are going to work even harder so that we don't have to fell like that in church again…
I must say the people that we have almost feel as if they stopped progressing in the work or in the teachings i must say , we are trying to work more and more with some of the members but it doe not seem. To go anywhere. Like the work is like at a stand still. I must say its frustrating for the both of us.. The store of the past are just making things really hard for the work to progress. I must say there are a lot of rumors going on inside of the barrio, and contention , its making work really hard but we are going to do the best that week can… while we are here. I must say i really hope i stay here even longer so that we can start to gain more confidence of the members in are barrio. In this coming week we have transfers on the 2nd of Feb. So i could be spending it some where else, but i love this area so much i really want to stay here in Santa Fe, in Pompeya….i just love the people i must say in this area and in these city.. brain storm happing in the moment, just like book of Mormon….
…….Y acontecio que después que hubo recibido su mensaje del angel del señor , alma se volvio prestamente a la tierra de Ammoniah. Y entro en la ciudad por otro camino ; si por el que queda al sur de la ciudad de Ammoniah…. Alma 8: 18
The reason i have chosen that scripture is that alma goes to the city two times to preach the gospel, so that the people can here the Word. Me elder jessup I'm n my second time in santa Fe , but not just in the city but in the same zone of Norte, the lord really wants me here for a reason i must complete , al this just hit me right now i must say i love it , WHEN THAT HAPPENS… the lord wants me to do the best of what i can while i am here…
Family thank you for everything of which you all have done for me . I love you all i must say you are all a big part of the motivation to get out of the bed some days, i just think of all the blessings that we have received , in the family and i know that there are people waiting for these same blessing as us as a family have received, here in argentina…. So i get out of bed to g go to the streets to help theses children of the Lord that are waiting for him…
Family i got good news.. i am now starting my Third journal of my mission , the one you all sent me for christmas, i wrote the first entry today, i must say the love i have truly found for a journal is utterly amazing. Just the staff i come to know as i write on those blank papers my mind just goes to everything that happened to me and how i saw that lord in my life on that very day. The beauty of a journal is being able to look in your past and come to realize everything you learned , as you went through trials , or just great experiences in life , not only that but future generations will be able be touched by your own entry, if you all don't have a journal my family , i recommend go getting one , it really is a great thing in life to see of ones self… i know that the prophets have told us to have one for a very reason…… i stand as a testimony to journals, a great work in ones life. I tell you at first it does not seem. To go any where , but it does in the long run.. I tell you family i have never come to realize so much staff in my life tell i wrote i ton to see Blank pieces of paper, in my journals… its a record of are life for the future to read and learn.. just as the scriptures are to us from 1000 plus years ago today… i love keeping a up to date journal one of the better things i have done in my life …. Thanks dad for buying my very frist one , the big red one , and thanks to cliff for letting me see your very own mission journals , to motivate your younger brother…
I just wanted to share something that has helped me grow so much in my mission. I did not think that blank papers would end up being the answers to so many questions that i once had in my life. I tell you all that it has helped me learn and grow all at once in those simple min. of time each and every day. I ask you all a very simple question to end:
Have you written in your journal today?
I love you all take care ill be talking to you on the day of Tuesday of next week cuz of transfers…. Hope and pray for the best…
I love YOU all from the Youngest
