Sister Chloe Jeppson- Leeds England Mission : SPICY pizza!¡!¡

Hiya everyone!!! Hope you all had a great week!!

This is kind of crazy, but the countdown officially starts today... we are under 10 weeks now. So 9 more pdays left. That is super wild. The only reason why I allow myself to say that is because I know that the most important part of my life is yet to come. I have learned so many things and have had the most life changing opportunites as a missionary. But it has been just the start of my life mission. And I am excited to do all I can these last weeks to give everything to Him and to continue to be the person God needs me to be even after my mission.

Really cool thought that I was taught this week. We are all worth so much in the sight of God. His love for us is never ending. Sometimes we do things though that make us feel unworthy, or worthless, and other times we are completely worthy. But the thing that never changes through that all is our worth. Look at it like this:

WORTH

WORTHY

UNWORTHY

WORTHLESS

You will notice, that even though these additions are tacked on to the word "Worth", it never changes. Because God's love for us never changes. He will never love us more, and He will never love us less than He already does. What a blessing and a comfort.

Anywhos, here are some of the cool/funny things this week:

-For pday we went on a walk/ hike and played a game of makeshift Kubb out of sticks haha

-we ran the Young Womens activity on Tuesday night, and it went so good. We did a scavenger, picture hunt and they loved it. We gave them a set of items they had to go and take pictures/selfies with. Then they would come back, get it approved, and receive a challenge, either a word, scripture puzzle, or a physical challenge. Then they would get the next set of items. And it was a race. It was so fun. And the prize was popcorn and American Jolly Ranchers we found. Quite fun.

-we had zone conference this week! It was so so so good!! Sister G was playing the piano and Elder Haines was playing the guitar and singing for a musical number and they roped me into singing a solo part and duet. It was so scary, but pushed me outside my comfort zone so that was cool

-went on an exchange with SISTER KINGSTON!! Oh I just love her. We were flatmates for a transfer and it was just so good to talk about everything that day

-Ok this was so funny. Let me set the scene. Nishu is our friend that moved from India 6 months ago. Her husband and son have followed 2 months ago and now they are all living in Bradford, dont speak too much english and working a ton. The husband is Sik religion and Nishu is christian. And nishu has come to church a lot. So we went over with the plan to teach them and what not, but kind of like a first lesson because it was my first time meeting them. And they want to feed us. Which was fine. But sidenote, I have been eating gluten free for the past two weeks and feeling much better, but sometimes people don't know what that means and still feed me gluten. And there was no way I was about to tell that to this cute indian family who probably don't even know what that word means. I mean the 7 year old boy couldn't even say my name so he called me Sister Japanese. Anywhos. They say they want to just give us snacks and start to lay food out on the table. here is the spread. 8 slice pizza, 4 donuts, cookies, digestives, doritos, fries, corn nuts, and burning hot, hot chocolate. I was shocked. Like my worst nightmare. And what makes matters worse is that the pizza was SPICY! How does that even happen? So here I go, I eat one piece of pizza. And try to wash it down with hot chocolate, burn my tongue, eat a donut to tell her that hey, main course, dessert, I am done. But no, she puts another slice of pizza on. And another. And another. They just kept feeding us. I couldn't look at Sister G because we were both trying not to die laughing. Neither of us can handle spice. It was hilarious. I left 20 lbs heavier that night. And man it was just so bad.

But yea, I can't remember what else. We are teaching some of the coolest people ever!! People from all parts of Africa, India, Iraq. It is just so neat to meet all these people and to see their hearts changing.

I am so grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ! There truly is power in His name. I challenge you all to testify of Him this week. Whether it be to a friend, sister, brother, grandparent. Anyone. I invite you to join with me and open our mouths to “speak of Christ, rejoice in Christ, and prophesy (teach) of Christ” (2 Nephi 25:26). We have the sacred opportunity to share the name of Jesus Christ to all the world. Our message is the most important message in the world. He is the most important message to the world. I so testify, in His name, Jesus Christ, Amen.

Love,

Sis Jepp:)
