Dear Family, 30 April 2012
I think we're going to wait another week for Jose's
baptism. We want to make sure his mom is
fully active in the church to support him and we still have some work to
do. But its really fulfilling to see how
much it means to her that we're teaching him.
She said that his behavior has been really difficult lately and how she
is filled with joy and hope every time we come to teach him because it has been
a big trial for her lately. She hopes
that after his baptism he will change for the better. We explained to her that it is time for her
to come back to church and that as she reads the scriptures and prays every
night it will invited the spirit into her home bless her family in all aspects.
We are also teaching two women named Besy and Seidy. They are sisters and they've been coming to
church regularly this month. Since the
beginning they talked openly with us and expressed their desire to be baptized
but they are a little hesitant to commit to a date. Besy had a few interesting ideas about
baptism and insisted to be baptized in a river because she was afraid that in a
baptismal font, the sins of others stayed in the font and could get her dirty
but a river would be different because it washes the sins away down the river. Haha, we explained to her that its symbolic
and everything but she still had some hidden doubts. We realized that they both needed to develop
tesitmonies of a modern day prophet. We
invited them to pray about it. Hermana
Besy said she hasnt got an answer but her sister Seidi told us that she prayed
about it and doesnt have a doubt that Thomas S. Monson is a prophet. She is so cute because she can't remember how
to say his last name but she says "I know that Thomas whats his name is a
prophet, i would just like to get to know him a little better. Is there a movie
i could see or something I could read about him?" We were like,
yeahh! of course!" We
watched a conference talk with her yesterday and she loved it.
Well thats all i have to write for now.
Love you all
Hermana Jackson
