Pictures--- October 2010

Just got these new pictures of Elder Jeppsen. He was transferred on his Birthday (Oct. 12th) to what will most likely be his last area. He is still working hard and we are getting excited for his return next month. :)

Letter---September 9, 2010

We have a bunch of families we are working with down here. We have a few people that look like they will be baptized this month. They have still decided to keep me as a District Leader and who knows if that will ever change. The weather has started to cool off so that is FANTASTIC. It is now also school time so a lot more people are not at home. We are working with a bunch of people that go to Keesler Air Force Base. We also have a pretty active zone so we get to play some good basketball games. I have gotten so bad since I last played 20 months ago. Time seems to be flying by so that is pretty nice. Thanks for all the support from home. I really appreciate it.

Love
Elder Kasey Jeppsen

I think the next few were taken on moving day....

Kasey transferred to D'iberville, Mississippi in July. We just received his release papers and as of now he is scheduled to come home on December 22nd (a good birthday present for his big brother)

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.

Things are going great. I love working out here. We have like 4 people getting baptized this transfer. I love being blessed. I am glad I get to stay here another 6 weeks at least.

The Kim's are doing great! They are still very strong and they gave talks last month and they are going to the temple in a month or so. I'm so happy for them. They have 2 children. Its just great to see how peoples lives change with the gospel.

I have started to become a much more effective teacher now. Its great to see how the spirit works.

I am now serving in West Monroe, Louisiana with Elder Nguyen. He is from Golden, Colorado. It's nice to be back in the city. We have several investigators and a couple with a baptismal date. This Friday we get to have the M.T.C. come and teach us how to teach better. West Monroe is a part car/part bike area so we switch off every other day. Thanks for everything. I will try and get pictures to you soon.

Love y'all
Elder Jeppsen

(Kasey doesn't say much but we know he is loving his mission, the people, and sharing the gospel.)

Well I'm still down here in Bogalusa. The cold weather is great. it gets to 14 degrees down here. I'm still serving with Elder Hansen till the end of January. Last Sunday we got to watch Ann Clark get baptized. Her brother was so happy for her. We are currently working with her daughter and hopefully she will come around. The people down here are already starting to get excited for carnival season. We have a few other investigators who are progressing slowly and hopefully they will decide to kick there habits and convert. Its great being down here in the branch. its nice having so many friendly people.

Love Elder Jeppsen

Here I am in a new area and with a new companion. I am now in Bogalusa, LA. My companion is Elder Hansen. He is from Idaho Falls. We are co-senior companions. He loves basketball more than anyone out here and keeps up with them everyday.

So far we don't have much going on out here. We are working with a mother and daughther and they seem to be working towards baptism. It is looking good. I have really been enjoying it out here. The branch is really good. I also like having my Zone Leader as one of my best friends out here on the mission. It is a nice plus.

I love hearing from all of you back home. Keep writing!

Love,

Elder Jeppsen

(Kasey also sent some pictures and we will be posting those soon)

Another letter I got this weekend so I could update the blog with baptism and companion information said:

He will be changing to a new area on November 5th. He also has been told that he will become a trainer in December.

Kasey is doing well and is staying busy and working hard. Here is a quick letter he sent me this week:

Well this week we taught Melody's mother and she felt the spirit and finally understands why she wants to be babtized so now she is letting her do that; As well as she accepted the Book of Mormon and is reading it. She is working toward baptism. We have James Simmons and his wife taking the lessons and they are progressing very much and loving what they learn. Also we have Sister Renosa, still being the spiritual giant that she is to her family. Hopefully her husband decides to give up his drinking problem and get baptized so he can help out their family. If you wanted to write Sis Renosa I bet she would love that. Thats how the work is here in Vicksburg... moving forward.... its so nice to be apart of it. Thanks for helping. Love Elder Jeppsen
