Some Mission Goals

hey family,

How are you all doing , ''what's new in life.lol well i am still in federal argentina, but now with a new comp. named elder Brown, he is from a small town in Nevada called Pioche which is a small farming town, he said he has been to the Beaver area of Utah, so i meet some one who knows where Beaver is at lol. so he is my new comp for the next transfer which it going to be my second one lol , so really i just have been helping him get used to this are, he says it makes him miss home just cuz Federal is a huge rancher and farm area.

With this email am sending so pictures of the baptisms that we had around two weeks ago. lol its of two kids named Juan Manuel and Juan Martine Crespo. and the other photos are of the family Crespo is all and their kids. But its crazy to think of how fast time is starting to fly by as a missionary. but i am doing the best to make every minute of my mission worth it , for me and theses people here in argentina, for it is them that i a am serving, and most important is that i am serving

lord and i don't want to waste his time at all . so thats why i am doing everything that i can to serve my lord, if i have any dead time i am always studying and reading, i have just started today to read all the standard works, someone told me that if you read a chapter a day in each one of the works you can have them done in 18 months, so i decided to put that one to the test and see if it is true. as well i am starting to read the mission library . that we have. but the people here are doing good we are still trying to work with the padres of family crespo but its hard cuz they have a different. schedule to work around..and we are also working with Ricardo, and want to try and get him in the water this transfer, is my person goal and i know the lord wants him to , for that man has great potential in this great church. but family i love you with all my heart and i pray for you each and every day, i hope you all are doing well and in good health , and i pray that you may all have the spirit of the lord to guide you each and every day. i love you all to the depths of my heart and soul, for you all thought me how to become the person i am , and i thank you all for helping me lose myself to the lord and this holy work of his , you all are a keystone in my life and for always, for eternity , i will love you all for that long as well, and if you ever need anything from me it would be my honor to serve my family. Be strong family just turn to our lord if you all are ever going in rough times or need simple help, i testify in the name of the lord that he is always there for his children, and that he does answer our prayers,day in and day out, i tell you the suffering of his son is a real thing it truly happened, so that we can life with our father after this great life, but yet it us to decide our out come , let us life the laws of our god , as the family of which we are, i testify that our lord is there for us as a family in our times of need , and of joy, i give to you all my beloved family my blessing upon your lives in the most holy name of JESUS CHRIST amen....

The Mission is Going Good

the mission is going good this past week was a good one , we have a total of three bap, schuled for this week , for this sat, the 12 they are two twins manuel and martin, we got to finish getting them ready but we try and work with them everyday, and he other is a man named ricardo, and the biggest dobht that he has is that he thinks the sabbeth day is on sat. but he also still needs a testimony of the book of mormon , and of jose smith, but we get to them everyday , and we trust in the lord that he will help us in his most holy work , and yes i still have to teach at chruch which is fine with me its in service to the lord, i know for a fact that this is where the lord wants me to be, and i love him with all my heart so i must serve him with all the strenght that he gives me in his holy work as fare as getting ther money i trried this past week, and still read zero, i think the money is in there but it does not show it in the atm, a elder was telling me that there was a elder with the exact same problem so he just had to keep track of what he was pulling out, so i think i may have to do the same. and debs and cliff for the emails they helped me out a lot , with the story cliff said about the guy who had to push the rock, i know that i still have a lot a head of me and i know its going to be tuff so i just got to put my sholder to the wheel and push on with the lords work cuz i truly want to become a man o god , and i know what he needs me to do... i love you all to death , and with alll the depths of my heart. sorry about no pics ..love you alll making my family proud

But i stayed there for a total of two days tell my zone leaders came and picked me up during mission conference, elder richerds and elder renyolds, they been here around 20-23 mouths so it was really great to talk to them. then once we got together we took a 7 hour bus ride to a city called Concordia and arrived around two in the moring. and thats were i meet my comp. Elder Rowley who is my trannier he has been serving about 19 mes. then from there we got up at 6 in the moring to catch a bus at 7 to take to my frist area Federal... its the very north part of the whole mission.. so about after 29 hours of travling i got to my frist area. this area its kinda smaller area of all the mission, and its only my comp and i to this whole little city.. so its a lot of work which i am really happy for. Its a big difference from the states in so many ways and in other ways it reminds me of home. but the people are really cool here really friendly like most lations. the sh for ll in spanish is throughing me off .. i just have to get used to it.. but it will come with the gift of toungs ... but the good thing is that a lot of argentions are telling me that i speek better spanish then my comps previse companions . so there is som good news lol ... but i love you all and i trying to do everything i possibly can to serve the lord i know he will help me in this great work ... mom important i am pretty sure that you all are in moutain standar time which is a four hour difference from us , but if your not in mount. tim zone please let Hna Hutch. know asap email her so she can let me and my comp know. but call this number at 9 30 your time and the number is 01154-3454-422-686 it may take awhile to get through just letting you know. and you all will be calling me around 1 30 here just to let you know love you all familly be strong, i pray for you day by day , keep strong in the chruch i know the lord is lookin out over you all, and i know that my redemer lives and that we must strive to live the comandments day by day of our lives and i know the lord will bless us day by day if we follow him.... sorry i forgot usb cable next time ill try to send photos love you all Elder Jessup

Safe Arrival

Here is an email that Clay's Mission President's wife sent to notify us of Clay's safe arrival:


Dear Family Jessup,
I hope you enjoy the photo. We are sorry that we are in it to ruin it. It was too far for his trainer to come. We sent him up with some Zone leaders the next day. He will enjoy Feliciano and Elder Rowley. Happy holidays
