Sister Jessie's Mission

FAM!

It sounds like all of you are doing sooooo well.  That makes me super happy! This week in Pedregal, zona MAJES (mahas) haha President has been joking with me my whole mission about sending me here because of my name and now it’s a reality! 

We started out the week not knowing anything but with the desire to know everyone! But honestly heavenly father has put so many angels in our way this week to help guide us.  Just the first day we were walking around with a map looking totally confused, as I turned my head there was a lady standing on the corner and we both had the feeling to go and ask her.  Happily she accepted to take us throughout all of the streets, as we were talking she told us about all of the difficulties that she was having in her life and she knew that in this time in her life she needed Christ. We are going to visit her this week. What a miracle.

Another day as we were walking trying to look for the houses of the members, my comp turned to me and said, "Ah I wish that a member would just come up to us and say, ‘Hey hermanas, can I help you navigate your way through these streets?’”  As we continued to walk all of the sudden a voice behind us was yelling. "Hermanas, wait, wait! I just saw you with your plaques and I have been searching for you all over the place because I am from Tacna and I have not been going to church, but here I want to start over again but I just didn’t know where the church was!" This was literally an answer to our prayers. Heavenly father puts the people in our way!

Those were just two of the many miracles that I was able to experience this week.  I can’t even list them! But I will tell you a little bit of my area.  We have the center where there are tons of people walking constantly. Our area is HUGE including farms. The people are so amazing and humble. Our branch is made up of three areas but it is still really small. There are two sets of elders and us in our area and we all eat at the same pension which is fun! Each day we tell our spiritual experiences of the day and what we have learned.  It’s like we are at the dinner table with "the fam". I am so, so excited to be here with my companion Hna. Rivera.  She is such a huge example to me of love and charity. I know that there are huge things waiting for us here in Pedregal! 

Thank you so much for your faith and prayers! I couldn’t do this without each and every one of you! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. Keep enduring and SMILING!

Love, Jess
