Sister Chloe Jeppson- Leeds England Mission : Have you ever had someone fall asleep while they GAVE the prayer?

This week flew by in the blink of an eye.

And no I'm not turning into a poet haha, jk jk.

Anyways here's the highlights from this week:

- I had exchanges with Sister Linton again on Tuesday and it was so fun!! She's the best and I love her so much. Definitely have learned so much from her and have become close fast. We had five lessons in a row which was so tiring but awesome!!

- One of the lessons will explain the title haha. We were teaching Mel, who is in a nursing home and she is the sweetest. She invited two of her friends to come listen to us teach her from the Book of Mormon picture book. Well, her meds make her fall asleep super fast, so during the lesson she fell asleep about six times. We would have to talk a little loudly and then she'd wake up. Well we asked her to say the prayer and yea...she fall asleep twice during it!! It was the longest prayer haha, good thing we were wearing masks because i was trying not to laugh so hard. I made the mistake of looking up and seeing her dead asleep and almost burst haha. Good times.

- this is not a highlight, but it's funny so I'm adding it. Our friend in our complex asked us to clean her mom's bathtub, so we said sure for service. Bad idea. It was so nasty and it took us an hour just to scrub the tub haha. Thank goodness we didn't have to clean anything else.

- COOL EXPERIENCE: We have a new friend named Crystal who is the sweetest and she has the cutest little boys. We invited her to our relief society summer fun activity and she said yes!! She's from the Philippines and guess who the first two people she met at the activity were. Two sisters in the ward also from the Philippines!! They hit it off great and become close the rest of the night. Then we introduced her to two other sisters who had sons that we the same ages as crystles!! They were all so inviting and we left the activity earlier than Crystal did! She had a blast and it totally goes to show that members are SO important!!

- Another neat experience. Thursday was a slower day and we were knocking on doors for about three hours or so. Then after dinner we went back out and we were hoping to just make one new friend that day. We'll we just trusted that if we had patience, we would be blessed and we did! The very last jouse we knocked on that night was someone who we'd met before but hadn't gotten a return apt. But we prepared a message and went to the door and she was so receptive!! We shared about the restoration and the Book of Mormon and the Spirit was so strong!! And she said we can come back! That was super awesome and was a small miracle this week:)

- Made the best ever chicken taquitos and accidentally tripled it and got 30 taquitos haha, luckily the Elders devoured about 10 of them in five minutes for us

- also we low key stalked this guy, trying to casually talk to him and it paid off! He was super nice and interested to learn more:)

- Our friend Jonathan came to church again!! He loves it!!

Hope everyone has a great week!!

Love,

Sis Jepp:)
