Dear Family,
We got to teach Josue a lot more this week. He came to church yesterday and had his new baby girl in his arms the whole time. He’s so proud to be a dad and so protective of her. It’s really sweet. Although he’s been coming to church he still isn’t sure if Joseph Smith was a prophet. We knelt down in prayer with him in one of our lessons this week and he gave the most beautiful sincere prayer to know it’s true but he’s still not sure. But I know the Spirit is guiding him even if he’s not aware of it because he has the desire to go to church. Thanks for all of your prayers. I love this family so much and I keep imagining them kneeling down in the Temple getting sealed someday. I can just see it. It’s not just our dream but Melisa’s dream too. Josue just doesn’t know it will be his soon.
The Temple in Tegucigalpa is finished and now we’re just waiting for the church leaders to let us know when the open house will be. Yesterday a one of the leaders from the district visited our branch to notify us of some goals that the area authorities have made to bring 500 people from our area to the Temple open house. The sacrament attendance is really low right now. In the 70s and 80s and there are about 700 members. We have so much work to do in activating but we had another meeting with the leaders yesterday and they are really enthusiastic and about getting to work. Not only do they have so much work but they are also will need to contribute funds for the bus ride and they are encouraged to invited other families and contribute to their bus ticket. I look at the sacrifices that this branch is making to go to the temple and it reminds me of the pioneers and they gave to build the temples. We really are so spoiled in Utah. The people here really are pioneers building up the branch and going to the temple. It really inspires me to be a better member when I get home.
Love you all,
Hermana Jackson
