Dear Family,                                                                               9 July 2012

     I hope you all had a great 4th of July.  Hermana Duncan and I cooked hot dogs and corn on the cob.  That was the closest we could get to home.  We also sang the national anthem in or district meeting.  It was fun.  Anyways, this week we met our new mission president.  He and his wife look really young.  He game toTalanga and talked to our Zone for about an hour.  He and his wife are really great.  I think they're a little bit nervous but so far they have been do a great job and we all respect him a lot.  This month he wants us to focus on baptizing 1 family.  We have been focused on three families in particular but we've had lots of challenges in teaching them this week.  The Cerrato family, Palacios family, and Brenda and Josue (we still haven't asked them their last names,  oops)  But they all were doing really well and were progressing but Satan is working really hard on them.  If you could remember them in your prayers that would be great.  But we've also found a lot of new families to teach that seem to have lots of potential.

This week we did service at Seydi's house.  Our whole district helped her cut grass and weeds. You can see in the photo that the elders were having a lot of fun with the machetes.  

Love you all,

Hermana Jackson
