Great Fruits Have Come Forth
How is everything going for you all? I must say that everything is really well in the mission, we just had a baptism this past week , which I must say was a great experiences for me. Also the ward is doing really well I must say. I must tell you mom that there is no need to worry about the food hear I am eating so much with the members that we are doing quite well lol, probably on of my best areas for lunch wise lol. So mom no need to worry there lol . its so crazy to hear what is going on in mexico right now I had no idea it has gotten to be so bad over there. It sounds really intense I must say. But I know if we trust in the lord he will trust in us and help us in are times of need and protection. So mom just keep strong to that faith that you have ok. I am glad to hear that dad is a normal level and working hard at the ranch. Tell him to keep it up and that I ll be helping him when I get back, tell him I am starting to miss that hard ranch work to tell you the truth I really never thought I would say a phrase as that , but sometimes life is full of surprises..lol.
As of the ward that I am in its doing really good I must say , the bishop is a great man , his name is Obispo Scalea Last name from italy , but he is just a man that you can look at his face and just see that he is a man that is doing everything for his young big family, I must say I have a true respect for this man. He is a trucker so he is always on the road , a busy busy man..
The rest of the ward is just great I must say, but about two or so weeks ago we had are mission leader leave on us a and move to Buenos Aires, and he also took the president of the relief society to which is his wife, so we are with out a mission leader now, but we will do fine we trust highly in are lord. So that’s really how the ward is, small but really good I must say.
But I am going to tell you about the baptism that we had tis past week.. ok so when we go to start filling up the pelta, with water I was sitting there fighting the water heater for about 1 hour trying to get the darn pilot light to stay on and it never did, so we ended up filling the pelta with cold water, we thought it would be fine it was a hot day.. lol so when it came time for the baptism I was the frist one to walk into the water I was going to guide Jesus into the water, the boy did not want to go in g the water was that cold.. so I talked him into it and he finally ended up getting into it with me. When I was helping get into position , and about to start the prayer I paused before I started, as I began to start the prayer I immediately began to feel the water around us both become to feel very warm I must say I have never felt such a thing in my life it was utterly amazing I must say.. so I know the lord was happy with what we have been doing the past couple of weeks, as we have worked , in that moment I knew that the lord was pleased with our labor as a companionship.. I must say the water became warm cuz of the spirit of the lord that gave us that great feeling. I never have had such a great experience in my mission like that..
So I must say this week was a great week but now we are back at the start , we got to start from starch a gain , I trust in the lord he will help us find his chosen children in this area. Let are faith be with in him and let his spirit guide us and radiate from us in his great and holy work.. its such a great feeling to be in this great cause.
Family I love you all I just wanted to tell that the week was good and that we got to see a great fruit at the end of the week. So family I love you all o so much , I know that you all are praying for me as I for you , let the lord guide us together in are lives .. I love you all to the depths of my heart..
Keep strong in this great faith , of which the Lord has so graciously given us , in our lives. Let us give thanks to on high for his great works in are lives..

I must say that there is a another thing that they changed this past week, that was that they changed are horario of the mission.. 6:30 to 10.30 cuz before we were 7-11 in are days , and now they want us working outsider Turing the sesta, unlike before were we were in the pinch. Studying.. so thats a lil bit of a change i must say for us now. So i must say family that everything is going darn well in the mission..

Address Change
It Does Not Really Matter How Hard Times Are...
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
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 …..
Love the younger

Bye O Great Land of Pompeya
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..

The Power of a Journal
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

We Must All Be of Good Cheer No Matter What

How are you all doing up there in El Paso Texas..? it sounds like everything is going good in life.. I am glad to see that the ward enjoyed the cabin in new Mexico . The snow sounds like a never-land down here . its been sooooo hot the past week here, right now we are in the hottest time of the year.. January and February.. I'm extremely excited for the heat that is coming up lol
… This week was a hard week in the Lords work, it was just one of those weeks in the Lord work. We worked and worked , but we really did not see the fruits of our work, we a had very little attendance in church , but it just went to show us who truly are the investigators that are willing to change.. I must say that we lost a lot of them that were "progamados" or people who have accepted a date to be baptised. Due to one being juntos with a girl and having two kids, and not married. Then another one due to the fact that its her 15th BD on the 23 , so we may have to wait another week for her on that matter. It was just a tuff week in the labor of the Lord I must say. This week we are going to have to work at full speed, or work extremely hard to find some new people to teach. So if you all can remember to keep us in your prayers we would, be very grateful .. Don't you all worry I still keep you in my prayers every night . I must say the work is hard but we must all be of good cheer no matter what.. Mom you would be proud of me, I am now using a rubber band and my wrist to help me to think positive, and you flick it every-time a negative thought gets in your head. And its really

(…..Por tanto , muy queridos hermanos ,hagamos con buen animo cuanta cosa este a nuestro alcance; y entonces podremos permanecer tranquilos, con la mas completa seguridad , para ver la salvacion de Dios y que se revele su brazo….D y C 123: 17..)I must say its a great scripture that the Lord gave to us for these days.. I know with all my Heart that this is how the lord wants his servants and all his children, to be of good cheer… in are lives before we see him again.. this is the truth.. Family i love you sooooooooo much. You know how everyone says that you come to know what you have , only until you are out of their presence . I must say it has happen to me in the mission, i have come to know exactly how great my beloved family really is and how much they truly do care for me all in this short time. I must say family that I do love you all in many different ways , but I know you are all doing fine cuz I do trust in my Lord and He has told me that you are all doing fine and being taken care of.. I love you in different ways… but all in your own ways, this love is the same love that Christ has for each one of us as his children..I love you all family I thank you for everything of which you have given t

We Must Always "Grow" Our Testimony

Family,
Hello how is everything going for you all? I must say it was good to hear your voice on christmas day. That was a pretty much all we did for christmas day. We just stayed in the apartment. Sorry that you all had to wait so long to get this email, its cuz are p day was not tell Thursday, and vences Thursday was the 1st not one caber was open, so we got permission to write to re families today.
I must say the mission is going really well , i cant believe how long its been now lol , this next week i ll be hitting a year and 3 months. It does fly by i must really say. My companion is dong really good i must say he is really excited for the work ,that he is just starting. He is the same age as me 20 and he is from Bluffdale UTAh, in the SALT lake area.. He is a big boy I am not going to lie.. quite big! I have never seen some one with such a big drive to learn a language. The poor guy does not really understand a lot of what the people are telling him. I have to translate for him , but its just a matter of time in the mission and he will start understanding more and more. So I am going to be helping him out in the language area. I remember when I was starting my mission as well...pretty crazy.
Well I must say the mission is going really good I love the area I am in there is tons of work to be done , in the barrio. We have quite a bit of investigators that we can help out in this transfer, so hopefully we can do everything for the people we have. But even in our own times in the mission or in life we must always grow our testimony as of when Nephi first got his ( …Y sucedió que yo , Nefi siendo muy joven todavía aunque grande en estatura , y teniendo grandes deseos de conocer los misterios de dios , clame por tanto al Señor , y he aquí que el me visito y enternecio mi corazon , de modo que crei todas las palabras que mi padre habia hablado , asi que no me rebele en contra de el como lo habian hecho mis hermanos…. 1Nefi 2: 16..) let us all rebuild are testimonies to help us from falling in to the temptations of the World so that we may be strong in this holy path and that we may not fall off..
I love you all tons, I thank you all for everything of which you have done . I thank you all .. Mom i have been going to the bank , put it keeps telling me that there is no Money, I wanted to ask if you have put any Money in or if you forgot to, cuz I was waiting for it but never CAME. One more thing I world like from my family is if someone can take some time and set me up another email, so that i can have a different one to give to people , when i leave the areas… pretty please can someone do that then pass me everything…. I love you all brazos y besos.

Baptism
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….

Monica's Conversion Story
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
Response:
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
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 …

I Have Not Heard from You All Back Home
How are you all? I am really worried about them cuz i have not heard from any of you all for quite sometime, just i really don't know what to think of whats going on back home. Cause it has been a total of two good weeks that i have not heard from you all back home, i am really lost on whats going on back home, with everyone.. so i pray to the lord almighty that you all are alright. Well i truly hope you are alright, cuz now i am in a new area, I am back in the zone of Santa Fe Norte. But this time I am not in the area of General Lopez i am in the area of Pompeya , which i am not going to lie is a really nice area, I have a feeling that I am really going to like it in this area. The barrio is full of young kids , from the ages of 12- 19 it is just full of jovens. Which for me is a first in the misión i have never seen so many kids that go out and help us in the work, they want to help us teach the lessons with the investigadores, which i must say is utterly amazing. So its really a great area i must say.
I have a new compa, his name is Elder Craner, he is from Idaho , from Rex burg , from where BYU is at. I must say he is a really good elder, he has about 10 months in the misión. He started his misión in the same place where i started my misión , in Federal, in Entre Rios… so its really cool he was my replacement when i left that area in Entre rios.. so its pretty sweet i can talk to him about the old area and everything… he is the secound oldest in his family he has a brother and sister that follow him .
Well family i really don't know what to think cuz i have not HEARD anything from any one in the family, Mom ,Dad , Chon , Cliff, Deb, Daryl , etc… i really don't know whats going on in the house or any of your lives , and to tell you the truth i am really really sad , i must say for a misiónary , not to have email is quite depressing , and i am worried for you all as my parents , brothers, sister , family, i have no idea for anything…. I kinda wish i had something to work off of… I really don't know what to say other then that i am just worried for you all.. Cuz last week i sent Mom a letter to her email account which is the mac and it showed to me that it did not send. So then i sent the letter to her work email, and it showed that it sent. But i go today to my email, and now it shows that no one sent anything back.. So i am really worried that i can't get any of your emails or that i can't get any of yours.. I am going to keep you all really deep down in my prayers cuz i am truly worried for you all.
Family i love you all, to the souls of my Heart. I pray that everything is going good for you . I don't want you all to worry for me cuz i am doing really good hear in argentina, i am in the lords hand and i have been protected and i know He will keep protecting me in this work of his, to preach his great and holy Word to his children her in Pompeya… i love you all , i would love to hear from any one of you …. I love you all thank you for you support…….
Love ,
From your lil son and lil brother..

Si Se Vale la Pena
Its so good to hear from you I must truly say. I felt really good to hear from you all this week I dont know why but it did. I must tell you this week was really good for us we have a investigator who we have been preparing for his baptism, and another one in the district, from the other set of elders in Villa Diego. So in this coming week we have two baptism coming up, I am really excited in every way for the district and for my own personal self as well. I must say it sounds like you all were quite busy this week but when are you all not busy, I dont think I would like parents who sit still.. But I must have to agree with dad on preparing the food, if it does bring more people to church it is well worth it… In Spanish there is a frase for that "si se vale la pena"… I think in that why it totally does.. I must say any church activity is a huge weapon for the missionaries, but it just hurts the missionaries if a ward does not do activities. It just stops the work, in a way… the best advice I can give you all coming from the missionary field is try to have the most activities that you can within the week and the month.. it is a huge tool for the work of the Lord…I must say that is where I wish the barrio I am in could be doing better in. Cause it would help us out a lot , so that is the best advise I could give you all as Readers of this letter in El paso.
It sounds like you all had a good Halloween , which is really cool, we wanted to buy some watermelon ,but when we went to go buy they ran out so it was pretty sad, so we just stayed working in the Lords way….Its so crazy that we got a new dog in the house, its crazy and exciting at the same time… I hope to see him when I get home . I can have a new pal when I get there,( wow Jessup dont get trunky now still long ways a way.. ) To tell you the truth the transfer has flown buy at a very unreal Speed that is just way to Fast. To tell you the truth it's kinda scared to see how Fast the next part of my mission goes… i know I have to work hard and just enjoy it cuz it really is the Only time in my life that i will have such a honor to serve the Lord in the way i am doing..
I WANT TO TALK A LIL ABOUT THE BAPTISM,
Ahora pues , a causa del convenio que habeis hecho ,sereis llamados progenie de cristo, hijos e hijas de el porque he aquí , hoy el os ha engendrado espiritualmente , pues decis que vuestros corazones han cambiado por medio de la fe en su nombre, por tanto habeis nacido de el y habeis llegado a ser sus hijos y sus hijas….. Mosiah 5: 7
I know that we all can remember that great and wonderful day of our baptism, on how wonderful it was… and tell you all that we can still feel that great and wonderful joy of the lord each and every week as we partake of the santa cena…i know this is the way the Lord wants us to remember him each and every day as we go through our life..I thank you all, mom go ahead and thank Lope for me , i really appreciate it and I thank her for the donation to my great mission..
I thank all of my family for everything even down to the love of which you all show me as well …. Next week I will be writing on Tuesday cuz it will be transfers, so I'll tell you all if i am leaving or not, I'll have the news by then.. i love you all thank you again..
I know this is the church of the lord and that he loves us , that he gave us the great book of mormon to help us out in are lives for this very time in need… i love this very work and thank you again… tell next P,DAY FAMILY THANK YOU

Some Firsts
Family,
Well i am really shocked to say cuz i sent you all a letter last week , and i even looked and it said it sent. So i am really stunned about that, cuz last week i didi not hear from you all at home i did not get a letter , so something is up… i dont know what but there is something?
Well this week went really good i must say , this week we had Zone Conference , and we had the Elder Zivic from the area presentencia talk to us and his wife, WOOOOOW i must say it was Amazing it was unreal. .. So that really stared to pump us up again for the holy Work of the Lord. I must say we have one investigator who is really good and he is Amazing, he is fighting to quite smoking , and drinking , but he is programed to be baptised this week , but if he falls short he will come into the water on the 08 of November. But i must say he really is a great person who deep in side of him he is trying to change , he is tired of doing bad things and just wants to be in the lords path. .. Also this week was another first for me , in two ways 1. i had my very frist intervista baptismal, 2. i had to direct my very first baptism. So i must say i was scared for thoses things but i felt the overwhelming peace of the spirit take it over, it was one of those experiences you just dont forget.
This week you dont need to worry for transfers , cuz they are on the 11-12 of the next month , which is not to fare i must say. I must say the time is truly flying by, i have no idea if its just cuz i moved up , or if it really is going by super fast. But i must say you come to realize a lot of f the staff that you have learned in the mission, and its truly Amazing, it just seems like yesterday i reported into the MTC… Tell that one kid to star Redding his Preach my Gospel, that book will truly help him start getting in the mind set of he missionary.. tell him to learn to love ove Th. e Book Of Mormon , as well and to start building his testimony Strong on that. Two things that i would tell anyone to start doing would be those 2….
Family i must say i am sorry for all the pain that i ever did cause anyone of you all it was all not for a purpose, i was just young and Dumb, i thought i had know everything in life but , in all truth i knew nothing.. its just something i felt i needed to ay to you all ..
So family i am sorry you all did not get the letter of last week , but i really hope you all get this one this week. I really do…..
I wish I could personally thank you all in person , for the great support that you all give me, but i guess i am going to have to wait tell the end of my mission for that. So tell then i will keep writing thank-you each and every week. I truly love you all … and this great restored gospel of which we all share in common , for this is the gospel of Jesus Christ, i know that he and his father did appear to Joseph Smith , to answer his simple question, i know for this simple question of a young boy , we have this gospel , OOOO HOW THANKFUL AM I THAT JOSEPH Smith , showed his faith to the lord that one great and holy day…. Amen … i love you all … tell next week.

Fruits of our Labor
Hello family how is everything going, I am glad to her that you had a good week. It sounded a lil bit stressful,which I am really sorry. , but I know that the Lord is with us and He will help the family out in these times. To tell you the truth this week was a week we got to see the fruits of our labor in the Lord's work, on my mission. This week we had a baptism, a 22 year old named Angel Coitiñho who I truly must say was really excited about his baptism. So it was a great week I must say. We had a baptism and the new convert was really excited about his baptism! Thanks mom for putting money in my account , its really going to help me out. But still everything is still going good for my comp. and I. We are really both stoked to do this great latter day work for the Lord. I truly have grown so much in this little time that I have been a district leader, the Lord is just blessing me with strength and knowledge I have be learning so much each and every day of the mission . I must say that it truly feels like I have been born again in the mission. The Lord has blessed me as a leader. It is a true blessing to be serving the Lord in this great work. I am really going to keep you all in my prayers in these next couple of days. I know that life is going in a rough manner, but I know that the Lord is always willing to bless us as long as we are following the commandments that He has given to us. So keep strong in these times of hardship. For the Lord will help us out. In the mission when I first heard that I was going up in the mission field I was extremely scared, but I said a prayer to the Lord and thanked Him , and I knew that He wants me in this spot, and that He is going to help me every step of the way. So family I am sure of one thing, I think all of us have learned as a family that the Lord will bless us as a family together. For the Lord does give us families to help us grow and become stronger , from our weakness He forces us to become strong in these times. So I know that we are all here to have this great honor and thank you for being my beloved family. So keep being the examples for me in my life I have learned so much from all of you in these days and in my days at home. I truly love all of you in every manner. I truly thank the Lord from my knees to have you all as my beloved family.Family I thank you for all your support, and examples. I love you all , and if there is anything of which you all need don’t ever be to shy to ask me. I am always more then willing to help you all out in what ever manner you all see fit. THANK YOU. Lol Don’t ever worry about me in this work , for I am with the Lord I do recive his great protection in these great days. He does grant me His kindness ,His love ,His spirit, and His guidnece . For He helps me in every way I know, it truly is the greatest blessing to be in this great work of His. So family we have a new starting point right now in this area. We are having to start looking for new people each and everyday , but I do tell you one thing is that we have recived some blessings and it is always a great time to go and teach them. The lord has given us some people to teach, in this coming week i'll tell you how it goes, but as for now I am really short on time. So i'll be ending it here… thank you for everything, I love you all , may the Lord be with you all day to day…. I ll talk to you next p- day…

New Companion
Its so glad to hear that every one is doing good in life. It really sounds like everyone has been going through rough times. But we must always remember that the Lord is looking at our progress as we go day by day in are lives. The mission I must say truly does know how to change ones will and desires in their heart. My new companion Elder Baxter is a really great guy , he has a lot of energy to do this great work of the Lord. He is the frist one to serve of his family setting the example for his brother and sisters. He comes from Rafala up close to Santa Fe, his home town is Alpine Utah. My very frist companion was also from Utah. Lol As far as how am I doing? You all asked I am doing really great , I got some good news for you all………I lived through my frist week as district leader..lol But I must say I believe this is where I am going to start to really lose my self in the service of the Lord I already see it happing to me. Just lil day by day. Ill tell you that there are a total of four elders in the district , and two Hermanas, I'll be sending photos of them in the next coming week after my frist district meating. Lol
The Conference I got to see the whole thing. For us we had one investigador that stayed with us through 4 of the sessions so it was a true blessing, he is programmed for the end of this week to get baptised. So we are really excited. My comp. Saw the whole Conferance in english , and I saw all in Spanish , and to tell you the truth I understood most of the whole conference. It was a personal goal that I wanted to do, after all I am in a Spanish speaking mission , I think I should watch it in Spanish. It was not to bad in another language as I thought it would be. We had to travel to are stake center to see it which is a lil further into Rosario. But all in all it was really good I truly did enjoy the conference I hope you all did as well.Its really good to hear how fast that Dayrl found a job thats really exciting. I am glad to see the family is doing really good, From the growing up of the babies to there first tackles, all that good stuff. For I know that the Lord is truly lookng over my family as I serve Him in his great work. Thank you all for the support that you all give me each and every day. Mom I would like for you to say hello for me to Phillp if you see him , and ask him what is he up to , tell him thank you for saying that about me, and the same to him. I am glad to have the family of which I have in my life. I miss you all from here in Argentina, I pray for you each and every day. The comp. Is fine I really think we are going to have a lot of great succes in this area of Galvez , we both know what we need to do and I am gong to try and do everything to help out in the language and in the mission. For he has a total of six months in the mission, just half of my time in the mission. But a really great kid I must say , I am going to try and help him in any way I can. I know this is where the Lord wants me in my mission and the poistion is that of district Leader, I know I will have tuff times and times the life could not be more perfect. But I know that all my success I must return in thanks to my Lord for He has helped me in my life through thick and thin. For He will never leave us a alone in his work and his will , let us just remember to put him first in our lives and remember His great Atonement for us and all of man. I love you all family, I thank you you with hugs and kisses , and truly owe you all my greatest love of my soul.I THANK YOU ALL IN EVERY WAY… Mom I am running a lil low on money cuz , I was running on very low money so if you can send me a lil somethin I will really enjoy it. Also were you able to find out anything about my debt card. On what we need to do .. so that i can get a new one?
Thats all family I am running low on the time, but I am going to tell you one last thank you and one last I love you all , thankyou from all the help of which you have givin me from the very start of my mission and life..

Let Us Show this Great Joy to the World
How are you all doing? This week went pretty good for us in the holy work of the Lord, lets just say the fruits of our work payed off We had a baptism this past week….:) So it was a true blessing for us this week I must say in the lords work. I ll tell you a lil more about that in a bit…
Mom as for the food , its really good here, and I love it , I had not had a problem with it yet knock on wood lol . For the past few weeks we have had lunch with members. Its about 3 lunches we have to cook ourselves , and 3 are at the houses of members. So that's the deal with the food. And for our clothes its really good I must say., we're spoiled here lol , we have a hermana that washes are clothes, then we have a separate hermana that washes are G´s . So as far as clothes we are good and taken care of. But we do iron are own cloths lol, when they need to be ironed.. So i just thought that I would answer the questions that mom asked before I forget lol.
This week was really great I am truly enjoying the great work of the Lord. Its so crazy this past week I hit my 11 months in the mission and I did not realize it to tell you the truth. I am going to tell you all something that we are doing Elder Molina and I , he is from Canada , so he speaks English good , and he has parents that are Latinos so he also speaks Spanish perfect , and 3 other languages…Lucky…. The thing I am trying to get at is that the both of us are teaching classes in English for free at the church, and we have a total of about 15 – 17 people going each week , and it grows each week as well. In there is when a lil girl who asked me how much time I had in the mission, then I realized that I hit 11 months that same day. Lol What a dork I know lol…
The lady that was baptized was Angelica Herrera, who was a reference of a member, so it truly does pay to give the refs.. to the missionaries . Then we had the member baptize her and that was a great site. I' ll be sending fotos when I can. So family if you ever have a name pop up in your head thinking that they need to hear the gospel, write it down on a paper and give it to the local missionaries. Cuz the truth is that the Lord could be giving us that name but it's us that change are minds, and then we never give it to the missioners , then those people who's name we received from the Lord himself never come into Heavens Gate…Baptism … so those names are revalations to us…. Don't doubt them..
(…Los angeles hablan por el poder del Espiritu Santo; por lo que declaran las palabras de Cristo . Por tanto ,os dije : Deleitaos en las palabras de Cristo ; porque he aquí las palabras de Cristo os diran todos las cosas que debeis hacer…… 2 Nefi 32 : 6..)
So please just listen to the voice of our Lord when he tells us who is ready for this gospel, and what items we need to do. Trust in his holy Spirit to guide us. So family I really do love you all , and thank you all for what you have done for me in this great work for your support , to just writing me each week it truly is a pleaser to have you all as my beloved family…in this worldly life. You all have given me so much I truly don't know how to repay you all…. But I know one thing that you all would rather have me here then any other place in my life… so I will serve in the name of the Lord as Elder Jessup… to let people know of the truth of the restored gospel the message that has brought so much joy and peace in to our lives, so that they may come to know these blessings of the Lord Our Redeemer Jesus Christ.. I love you all. Thank you all family..
Well fam.. thats really how the week went for me in this part of the World, another great week in the mission. I can only pray and hope that the week goes just as good for you all at home…and at work. Just remember the Lord is always here for us no matter what we need or are going through in are lives, let us show this great joy to the World and let them see the Light and truth of Christ to the World……Amen
Mom I just want to remind you to tell you when ever you have time to go to the bank and see what it is that we need to do to get another debt card cuz mine expires in Feb… so I am living you quite a bit o of time please let me know what I need to do…
Love you

Happy Missionaries in our Dear Lord's Work
Its good to hear from you all this week. This week went pretty good I must say. This week that is coming we have a baptism of a cousin of a member. So we are pretty excited for that. Her name is Angelica. She is a lady of about 40 years of age, and she said when I listen to you all the message is complete, as in the gospel. So I really think she truly understands this message. So its pretty exciting, so she is going to be baptised on the 13 of this month. We would of had two more people be baptised as well , but one of the brothers did not come to church yesterday. So we just have to be a lil more patient with them. Slowly but surly they will come unto the lord. So we have really just been really worried for them theses past few weeks, to tell you the simple truth its been pretty busy just trying to get them to come in to the water.
I do have good news there was a baptism in are district in the rama of the hermanas , in a small town called Arayo Seco, which is a lil further out from my area by like 30 min or so. It was a lil older lady of about 60 or so who got to know the truth of this great gospel. So its all a bunch of happy missionaries in our dear lords work here in the district of ours. So I think thats pretty important to share. As for me and my comp , we are doing really good yesterday we came to realize some of the things that we need to do better so its just lil things that we need to better in the mission. Also this week we got to have interviews with are President of the mission, which went pretty well. Really great person his from Paraguay and his wife from Bolivia , but there kids are living in the States. So they are two really good people trying to do the best for the Lords missionaries in this great mission. So everything is going really good . I truly am at a great time in the mission, i am really enjoying each and everyday, as it goes by.
I really enjoyed the photos of the ward thing, at first I didi not remember who Ashley was then when I looked at the photo I remembered. So go ahead and tell the ward that I send them all a good hello to each and every one of them. What a great group of people I must say. I love them all lol…
Family as far as I am doing I am doing really good I am enjoying the work, I try to give all to the Lord each and every day as we go each and everyday. For this a true blessing of which I have, to serve the Lord, in this great country. To preach his gospel each and every day for two years. For the Lord wants me here I need to serve him each and everyday as I wake up in the mission. For i know its what he wants from me and its what I want as well in this time in my life. As for the time. It does fly by I must say. The Lord helps us on the mission , and our families to lose track of the time. I am so thankful that I have this great time in my life and the support of my beloved family in this very work . Thank you all for everything I love you all to the depths of my Heart and to the bottom of my soul. Mom I wish you the best of luck on your trip, to Mexico, and family I wish you the best of luck and guidance during this coming week in everything…
I love you all thank you all so much..

Thank you all for everything , anything you need just let me know dying to help.

Let this Message Show on our Faces
I truly must say that hearing about Erik does truly make me feel in my soul that I am o so ever thankful for this very gospel in my very life. I must say that the Lord has His guided time for each person, to tell you something is that we had a very sad story happen in our very barrio, a kid was going on his moto to pick up his sister at the house, and hit a car n the way and ended up passing away. Maxi Guzman is his name but to tell you the truth that was about 3 weeks ago , and the family is so strong it literally amazes me each time i see them… i know it has to do with the message of the restored gospel of Jesús Christ. So let this message show on our faces to help others see that we have the truth of the Lord in are lives.
This week went pretty well it was just a average week in the mission field. We have a really good group of investigators that are due to be baptised this month the 6th and the 13th back to back.. Im just going to keep them in my prayers each day to make sure that they can arrive to there date.. so I would really like if you all can to … please there names are Angelica for the sixth. Then Ariel, and Angel for the 13 of this month.. so we are just running busy trying teach them everything, and trying to find new people .. so that is really how our week has been going .We had a total of 2 people in church this past week , but this week we will get more…we are having a pretty good weeks..
Its really good to hear about Celest getting married. I am sure its really good to see....someone take that step to be sealed for ever.. this week in church I had to give a talk on the family proclamation , so I learned quite a bit lol , and I got a lil hope for the day I finally decide to take that holy step with my special someone. So who really knows how long I am going to have to wait for that special day… but I do know one thing. Its one thing I want in > my life. For that is one of the many rehaznos that we come to this great earth, to bring forth a family of our own. So its one thing that I want in my life I just need to wait my time ..lol As for everything with my compa, we are doing just fine everyone usually tells use that we have a appearance that we get along just fine, and I am not going to lie cuz we do. So why not try to show it when in reality and be our selfs and get along lol…as for me personal am reading the book of mormon in spanish again, and also in personal study am reading the bible, I am still in the old testament lol , but I am going through it day by day. So the Lord is helped me so much with the reading problem of which I had .. its like its almost gone away I must truly say, and how thankful I am for it as well. Its the Word of good truly helping ones life…
Well my beloved family I love you much and much, I know that we all have are tough times in life at each person it hits them in different times. For that is the reason why we need to always be following the example of the Lord, for He will help us out in theses tough times. We must always be thinking of our Lord, for the Lord could have someone come up to us and ask us of our religion, and in that moment we must be prepared… ( Y hablamos de cristo ,nos > regocijamos en cristo , predicamos de cristo, profetizamos de cristo y escribimos según nuestras pofecias, para que fuente han de acudir para la remision de sus pecados…….2 Nefi 25: 26 ) let this great scripture help us feel ready to teach this great Word..
Family I love you all dearly , I thank you all for the support that you all give me. To support the lil one of the family. I truly love you all I thank good each and every day that I have you all as my family, let us follow our Saviour in the greatest things, and as well in the small and simple things. For he taught all this to us for a reason to show us how it is that we can come to live with him again alter this life… I love you all ..,Keep strong in the ways of the Lord… let us all come unto him as a family of the Lord… thank you for everything….
P.S. how is Dad doing with the whole computer thing? Dying to know…
LOVE YOU

It's Only After a Trial of Faith We Receive Our Testimony
Its good to hear from you I must say. This week we had a pretty good week . We truly have found some golden people in the Lords land. We have come across 3 new people there names are Ariel , who is 20 years old and his brother Angel 22 years old. Then we CAME across a reference of a member named Angelica, who is about 40 years old. They all went to church yesterday and they all liked it. They all have a date for baptism on the 13 of September, so we are really excited for that here in this area, and in this time.. I have to say I have truly seen the Lords hand in my life each and everyday as we go out and work in this holy work of His. I know that the Lord is here to bless us as we are more and more obedient to his commandments. Like you said mom that they are here to Protect us and guide us in our lives. I am really sorry to hear about the horse that passed away, it s really a sad thing to hear. But I know dad that you are going to take care of the baby horse, and that this is a trail of faith, like Ether 12: 6 says that its only after a trial of faith we'll receive our testimony.
So I must say that we are pretty excited for the investigators that we have here in Galvez. The work is going good we keep finding more and more people each day. Its really good to hear that there was a baptism in the ward, and especially that the friend baptised him. That's a missionaries dream come true . to see a member do the baptism . For our new mission president has put a lot of focus on how we need to start working more with the members. And we have started and it seems to be truly working I must say. So there is some more news of how the mission is going for me.
Its really good to hear that Austin got his mission call for Spanish speaking, tell him he is going to love this time in his life, that it truly does change one's life in many, many ways. Its a great two years and that it goes by really fast. So to work hard and enjoy the mission. Tell him he is just a year behind me cuz I went in the 10 of October.
Thanks mom for the Money , I really needed it . thanks thanks lol . I am also going to be sending some more photos to day as well.. so thanks again. Well I hope everything is going well for you all . I truly thank you as my family for everything of which you have done for me in my life and in this time of the mission. . I love you all so dearly, I pray for each one of you as the weeks turn into months then the months into years. I love you all. And I ask again if there is anything of which you all need please just ask of me and I will be more than willing do what I can for you all…
So I love you all family and don't worry about me I am in the Lords hands , and keep strong , keep the faith of which we have let us grow it that even more…tell next P dAY
Serving the Lord.

Let Us Humble Ourselves

Family,
Hey how are you all doing? Well this week went pretty good i must say, but the guy we had programed for the week end he fell, he did not make it to his date cuz he moved in to another area , and he is not in our hans anymore so that was a bust this week. So we still worked hard this week and found some new people, we found some really good people. This week was also transfers , and the news is that me and my comp E.Arro are going to be staying together another transfer, so we are pretty excited for that i must say, its really the big news of the day. So we are pretty happy with that i must say. So as for i am doing pretty well i really enjoyed the scripture and the story mom it really gets you to think that god has a purpose for everything he does. Even though we have no clue why we are going through that trial in are life , the lord does and he looking at us and seeing how we handle the that was a really good story. I must say as i read the bible i am learning more of the stories, but yet also i know that i am still not truly understanding the text , or the true meaning, but i must say a simple prayer of faith is true all we really need to do. I finished the book of Exodus and the one thing that just surprised me was the hard heartedness of the Pharaoh of Egypt, as he did not see that it was the true hand of god , and that he wanted to let and have his children free of bondage. I truly must say that that can be taken into are life today as we see the Lords hand in are life ,but even though we see it we still know we are going to fall again in to the darkness of sin, but here is where we can make or break are selfs, by being hard hearted or by being humble unto the Lord. So let us n

So let us rejoice in the ways of the lord . for ever and always for this is are true joy in life let us shine are light of christ for all to see in times of light in times of darkness, let us help this world become full of joy one person at a time. At on point or another the world will hear are teachings either through missionaries or through members of the church , let us take forth this great message. For this is the true joy in life i must truly say helping people come unto the ways of are lord.
Family i love you all i know that i am in the great work of the lord that he is helping me day by day to carry forth his work unto the people of this country. Family i love you all to the bottom of my heart, i know that

I thank you for everything fam. Mom i am running short on money so if you could please send some it will be a great help. Also family thank you all for always being there for me through thick and thin. I love you all a lil later ill be sending photos , so don't worry to much lol love you all..
