soo sorry there isn't much time to
write because sister duke got permission from our leaders and they said it was
okay if we went on a mini exchange because SAMMY AND SERGIO CAME TO SEE
USSSS!!!I CRIED. I LOVE THEM. I seriously would die for this
family. literally best p day ever. they came and we all went out to eat,
and then we went to play soccer together. literally I'm crying. Sergio is
getting baptized. Sammy hasn't drank in 4 months.. what? it was the
most surreal thing ever. they drove 2 hours just to come and see us for like 4
hours. they are seriously like family.
Things are going good with Byron, he
is progressing but you know that there is a lot of time that has to take place
before he can get baptized... President Crane will come in 2 weeks to interview
him again to get ready to send everything to the Prophet.. soo yeah just pray. I
sure love that guy.
Its been a dream to see sister duke!
I love her. its weird to think that I had to come all the way to new jersey
just to find my best friend! I adore her!
Julia Frazier.. adorable. I'm so sad I
missed it. but it looked very classic, simple, and so Julia!(Julia Jeppsen got married in August.)
My companion and I are doing great!
We are doing work here in Union City! We are trying hard to find people, its
kind of hard but the work must go on! Weve been doing a lot of service. Trying
to act as Jesus would, preach, love and serve! Im starting to get a little
antsy and nervous thinking that this whole mission thing is coming to the end,
but im trying to stay focused, and just lost in the work!
Anyways sorry super lame, but I have
to go! Emails next week will be better.. I hope! We have a mission softball
game next week so I don't know if I will email..
anyways I love you all. really if you
have the chance I invite you to read the talk the first commandment by Jeffery
r Holland. it makes you really want to change.
"To which Jesus responded (and
here again I acknowledge my non scriptural elaboration), perhaps saying
something like: “Then Peter, why are you here? Why are we back on this same
shore, by these same nets, having this same conversation? Wasn’t it obvious
then and isn’t it obvious now that if I want fish, I can get fish? What I need,
Peter, are disciples—and I need them forever. I need someone to feed my sheep
and save my lambs. I need someone to preach my gospel and defend my faith. I
need someone who loves me, truly, truly loves me, and loves what our Father in
Heaven has commissioned me to do. Ours is not a feeble message. It is not a
fleeting task. It is not hapless; it is not hopeless; it is not to be consigned
to the ash heap of history. It is the work of Almighty God, and it is to change
the world. So, Peter, for the second and presumably the last time, I am asking
you to leave all this and to go teach and testify, labor and serve loyally
until the day in which they will do to you exactly what they did to me.”
I love that paragraph. it made me
really think. Jesus doesn't need money, doesn't need fancy things, He doesn't
need anything but DISCIPLES... and He needs them forever. And here I stand as a
literal representative of Him, with the honor of wearing his name on my heart
knowing that when I return that the discipleship doesn't end for me. NOR DOES
IT FOR YOU! share the Gospel, feed His sheep, and be His disciple the rest of
your lives. I love you all really you are my Sunshine's.
love Hermana Jorgensen xoxxx
we make these for our members! hahah we are trying
to get them to love us!
I LOVE SAMMY Y SERGIO.
:))))) Sammy serigio. and sister duke.
