Letter---April 20, 2010

I have been in West Monroe for the past 3 months and its been great. We have a few baptismal dates coming up and we are way excited for them. The next one should be Gary Thibideaux. He is way cool and he quit smoking last week and is still doing way awesome with that. Its nice having a great district when they make you a District Leader. It makes your life much easier.

Thanks for everything!

Love Elder Jeppsen

I am very happy to hear from so many people back home. That is always great.

Out here in West Monroe we have been working pretty hard. We have lead the Zone in lessons for awhile. We have a few investigators.

#1 is Anna Gilliland. She is in her 40's and is ready the scriptures for hours every day. I will be baptizing her on the 27th. She is very excited for that. She even gave up smoking.
#2 is Chris. He is getting married to Ariel today! They are way awesome. She is a Less Active Member. Chris askes us for a baptismal date as well as for me to do it. His is on April 10th.
#3 is Jonny. He is getting married to Tony (Ariel's mom) today, too! He is a Mexican and is very funny. Not too much religious background. He is also set to be baptized on April 17th.
#4 is Gary Thibadeaux. He is an older man who is slowly understanding more and more. He is getting baptized the 10th or the 17th of April. He is a very friendly person.
#5 is Brandon. He is on parole til November 14th so he has a baptismal date for November 15th. We have to just wait for Parole...

As for my companion: His name is Elder Todd. I actually really really like him because I can tell he is trying his best. We get along well.

I love you all and hope all is well at home.

Elder Jeppsen
