Sister Chloe Jeppson- Leeds England Mission : Dirty darlo= crackheads, smackheads, you name it!

Well there ya have it folks, the truth comes out. Darlington is known to the locals as dirty darlo. Why? Because its full of crackheads, smackheads, you name it. Hahaha. At least that's what Lana told us. For sure it can be a little sticky around the town center and a lil sketchy, but Darlington is beautiful and safe i think:) we just don't go downtown during Friday and Saturday evenings, cause it's pub time. Anywho...this week was amazing!!!

Here's the highlight reel:

-got to decorate the Dunns Christmas trees!

-watched England annihilate Wales in the World Cup on Tuesday 3-0, let's go!

- went on exchanges with Sister Foster!! Man I love that sista so so so much!! And I'm sad because next week is transfers ans she finishes her mission! She will be very missed. But it was a really really fun day!!

-knocked doors a ton and it actually paid off! We found a lot of really cool people this week by door knocking, messaging on Facebook, and finding around town

- had interviews with president and sister clare! They really are the very best and care so much for each missionary individually. I don't know how they do it, but it's awesome.

-had a great lesson with stephen this week! Always a highlight for sure. I don't know if you've been following, but I've taught Stephen 1-2 times every single week I have been here in Darlington. I met him the third day being here. So we are tight haha.

- went whiteboard finding as a district and asked what is your favorite thing about Christmas and got SO many responses, every inch of the whiteboard was filled. I love it!

-Trish had us wrap all of Kates presents right in front of her haha and it took us two hours. But I loved it because it was something I would do at home:)

-I hit my 6 months!!!! Which means I officially have one year left! Kinda crazy huh.

I should probably explain the family pamphlets to everyone because we are the only mission in the world that has them so far. So president clare worked as part of the media and marketing team for the Church before this and so he's really good at all that stuff. He's been feeling that the Lord wants us to really focus on families at the moment, so he created this pamphlet that is BEAUTIFUL. it's really simple and shares 5 Key Ways to Raise Strong Families and has a QR code on the back. That leads then to a website he created which explains more! It's so wonderful and is super easy to give to families, especially when the mom is busy trying to take care of her kid walking by. He also created these simple Christmas cards that lead to a website he created with videos of Christ on it that then leads back to the family website he created. Which leads to the church's website. Basically, he's a genius and we have seen SOOOO many blessings from this. I'll include the links at the bottom.

This week was full of miracles and we found so many people. We were also able to reach so many people and give them a resource, whether it be a family pamphlet, Christmas card, or what have ya, lots of people had a way where they could feel the Spirit and be touched by Christ this week. It was so amazing and I feel such joy to be here!! In the words of Sister Flake, "I could just hug God right now!"

Love,

Sis Jepp:)
