MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Baptism??

Posted on Updated on

I hope y’all had a very Merry Christmas!! I know I did haha.

 .
We went southern sledding and got matching pj’s! And we partied with the Amory Sisters and skyped families AND we played games all day hahaha. (:
 .
Then to top it all off, yesterday after church, ADDINE GOT BAPTIZED!!! It was so good. Everything went so smoothly! YAY!! It has been so good to see the change in Addine and to see her eyes shine with the gospel truth! AHH!! I believe partly that I served my mission for Addine. She told Sister Wittwer and I that she needed to hear the gospel from us BECAUSE she has seen us in a dream!!! SAY WHAT!?!? She is soooo cool. AND!! Wow, she invited her husband to church and he came!! Along with her son and grandson. It was so exciting! So hopefully we will be able to teach all of them. (:
 .
 Who is ready for the new year!? CRAZY! I am, yet I’m not. Haven’t really decided yet. It will be good but then I can’t say that I go home next year anymore…. /: But we won’t talk about it haha.
 .
Anyways, I love y’all and hope everything is going well!!
 .
Love,
Sister Jesselyn Drummond

Christmas Eve Week

Posted on

The week before Christmas is always kinda rough. People are stressed and they don’t really want to talk to you. But that is okay!

Holidays are always hard, I’ve learned to not really like them as a missionary, but as a person, I still love them!!! (:
This week has been good. I was able to go on exchanges with Hermana Charlesworth! She is so cute! She is a new missionary and she is SO excited about this work, she was able to help me see where my focus is ha… (: I LOVE new missionaries!
We were also able to have our missionary Christmas party!! It was so fun. We drove to Huntsville, AL for ours. And guess what!!!!!!! WE GOT TO WATCH FROZEN!!!! So now I am up with the times…(almost) I LOVED it ha. Olaf is my favorite. (: Sister Allred and I can quote that movie pretty well. IT’S SO FUNNY! (:
Anyways, that’s about it. Things are going well. I’m SO excited for Christmas! I can’t wait to see my families BEAUTIFUL faces. (:
I love y’all, Merry Christmas!!! (:
Remember….HE is the GIFT!!
Love,
Sister Jesselyn Drummond

Mom Email – Last Time in December

Posted on Updated on

Haha I miss you mom. I love you so much. There are times where I think about that moment when I first see you again when it’s time for me to come home. Crazy! (:

I’m out of time but I do love you and I pray for you!

Keepin the faith is key. It’s why God gives us the  trials. So he knows that we will turn to him and give him our burdens!

Everything will work out! I know it will.

I love you so much!

Hugs and kisses!

Miss your brains beautiful lady! (:

Love,

Sister Drummond

I Have Nothing Interesting for a Subject This Week

Posted on Updated on

Hello y’all!

Ha. Can you believe Christmas is upon us!? I most definitely can not!! I’ve been freaking out for the past like week! I’m so excited to see my family on Christmas and I’m sure if you ask my mom how I am she will tell you! Or you can just read that I am doin awesome! (:

This past week was kinda slow. They say holidays are the best time to proselyte but I kinda have to disagree….IT IS THE WORST TIME EVER! Sure people are home and with their families but no one wants to hear what we have to say….Sorry if this is sounding super negative but that is most definitely how I see it. But have I given up? NOT AT ALL! I keep pushin forward and say ‘Lord, I’m here for you, show me where to go.’ Or somethin like that ha.

My companion. Sister Christensen is awesome. We get along so great! She is almost like the older sister I never had. At night when we are driving home we always seem to get off on these ‘high’ moments… Ha because we say the weirdest things and just laugh for so long. It’s very weird but I like it. (: I wouldn’t be surprised if we stayed together for another transfer. But I want to go to transfers this next time because I know personally know someone who is coming out!! She was in my old home ward before my family moved out to Little Valley. But hey. I’ll see her when  I see her I guess.

I don’t really know what more to say now ha. But I hope y’all have a very VERY Merry Christmas. I hope everyone gets what they want. And I thank y’all for all your prayers. They have been felt/answered! (:

I love y’all so much and I’ll write again next week! (:

Love,

The amazing Sister Drummond! (:
