Jeppson, Emily

Hey guys!! Sorry for no email last week. I just didn't have very much time!! This week has been amazing! But super sad as well.     One of our investigators, Perla, in the middle of the night, abandoned her kids to go live with her criminal boyfriend in Utah. ya. they still have no idea. They think she's in Murrieta California working right now. She doesn't even have the money to come back and she knew she would lose custody of her kids if she left because of her situation, but she did it anyway. I do not understand what she was thinking but I just feel so bad for her kids mostly.      We did a TON of service this week for a less active family. They are so cool and loving. Their house was pretty gross so we went over and organized and cleaned for hours and now it looks so much better!! The dad is super into cars and has the spray on paint stuff (idk how else to describe it) so he gave us temporary tattoos that would just go away when we washed it off. Kinda cool...

This week was really good!! It was Hermana Adams 17 month mark in the mission so I surprised her and took her out to lunch!     We were trying to get creative with things to do so I made Hermana Adams sing in the park while I handed out pass along cards haha. It turned out it just made people feel uncomfortable I guess because no one would even walk anywhere near us but it's okay haha.     On cinco de mayo we all wore mexico colors! We had weekly planning so we were basically inside all day though. We had Helote and that's about all the Mexican culture we got that day. Helote is the corn on the cob with cheese on it from Nacho Libre.     One of our favorite girls from our ward went to Prom so we bought her flowers and went to take pictures with her. She's so cute!     It poured down rain the past few days so that meant walking and running everywhere in the rain! It wasn't too bad though. As for missionary work, we've just been busy visiting member...
