Jeppson, Emily

We had a good week!! so I'll apologize in advance. I don't have any pictures from thanksgiving. The lady whose house we went to took a picture and told me she would send it to me but then she didn't so I will have to ask her again for it.     But! Thanksgiving was really good!! We went to a white members house haha and it was really good. We ended up making the mashed potatoes, salad, rolls and I made a French silk pie! It was really good! It was kinda funny because we were just sitting there at the table and the mom just pulled up her shirt and started breastfeeding her child right in front of us without any blanket or anything so we were caught off guard haha. I thought that only happened in foreign countries! But I mean at least the elders weren't there haha. In the morning we got up and played sports with a group of missionaries so that was fun. OH MOM. You would have been so proud of me. The members were talking about how their dishwasher was broken during dinner. ...

Hey fammmm   Another great week in California! Last week I got to go to that lady's house that has a preschool in her house and I got to ask her a ton of questions and tour it and see how she does everything. It was super cool and got me really excited to do that when I'm back!

Anyway we had some chorizo and it made me super sick and I had to go home because I felt like I was going to die. I think it was food poisoning or something haha.      One of the elders in my district got sent home this week which was really sad and hard. He broke his back when he was 11 and he has so many problems with it but tried to go out on his mission anyway. Well he kept falling over while pro...

Hey!! I just wanted to say thank you so much for the package that my family sent me!! It was awesome and much appreciated!      This week I experimented and tried for the first time to make the enchiladas Verdes that a member taught me how to make and they were SOO good!! So I will for sure make them for you guys when I get back!      I have been really trying to learn piano in all my spare time and I am working on a French song that is really really pretty so I will take a video of me playing it when I get it down haha. And I got a simplified hymns book so I've been working with that whenever I can!      We have been practicing the song we are going to sing for Elder Clayton and it's sounding really good! I'm kinda nervous but really excited!      The other night we were on our way to go visit a less active member when we saw an old hispanic lady trying to get into her car so we went up and started talking to her and she ended...
