Mississippi
Transfers and 12 Weeks Left
Well life is getting crazy!! I’m getting transferred y’all! So, no mail this week til I get my new address out!! NO MAIL THIS WEEK.
.
I know for a fact that I will be leaving Mississippi…): Leaving the Tupelo Stake. That’s okay though. I guess I’m needed other places. But guess what!! I spent about 10 months of my mission in Mississippi. WOW! Alabama here I come! I was born there and I guess I will die there too. SWEET!
.
I’m excited to see what my new area has in store for missionary opportunities!
.
There has been a lot that has happened this week. We have found a TON of potential investigators and things are just happening here in Tupelo! I’m sad to be leaving, but I know Sister Allred and her new companion will work hard together to help bring more souls unto Christ. (:
.
I don’t have much more to say, so y’all have a great day and know that SISTER DRUMMOND LOVES YOU!!!
.
Love,
Sister Jesselyn Drummond

Pictures: Awesome light saber pictures!! (: (:

Last week of transfers!!
Welp, as said in my subject line of this email. This is the last week of the transfer, so y’all know what that means! I have transfer calls on Saturday! SO, DO NOT SEND ANY MAIL NEXT WEEK UNTIL AFTER MONDAY. Got it? (: Good.
This week was really good. We went tracting in the FREEZING cold. That was fun and awesome haha. We got a lot of potential investigators and I am really excited to go follow up with them all.
.
We went on exchanges with some sisters. The Amory sisters, which are Sister Robison and Sister Mason. Sister Mason came to Tupelo with me as Sister Allred went to Amory with Sister Robison. It was really fun. Now here’s a story! Sister Mason and I were tracting one morning and not having too much success because it’s a weekday. But that’s okay! So we decide to go get some lunch because I’m always hungry and there is a nice Chinese buffet on the side of town we were on that has a really nice deal for lunch. So we went! And while we were there, we had really yummy food and then at the end of our meal when we were stuffed beyond anything…we waited patiently for our check. And the waiter brought us our fortune cookies but no check. So we waited a little longer (it felt like forever) and finally the waiter came to and said, “your meal has already been paid for. I don’t know by who.” WHAT!???? Alrighty y’all, that NEVER happens here. It’s really rare. It’s not like we are in Utah and see members everywhere who will so willingly pay for missionary’s food. It was so amazing!! (: So to whomever it was! THANK YOU! (:
.
Then I went on exchanges with the Booneville sisters, Sister Smith and Williams. I went to Booneville with Sister Williams and Sister Smith came to Tupelo with Sister Allred. It’s always fun to go back to old areas. (: I forgot to get a picture with Sister Williams. ): There is a lot happening in Booneville and I am so happy to see the successes of the missionaries in that area. (:
.
Also!! During interviews with President Hanks…a pipe broke at the church so we were so lucky enough to clean up! Haha. Good thing we were there! o:
.
Well, that’s it for now y’all. I love y’all! Have the best week ever and remember, no mail next week…until AFTER Monday. (: Thank y’all!
.
Love forever,
Sister Jesselyn Drummond

Ringing in the New Year
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Baptism??
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
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
