Dear Family,
Thanks for the birthday wishes! It
was a really great day. Something that made it good was that the night
before we taught Seidi a lesson, she said the closing prayer and went
off about "Bless Hermana Jackson that she will have a happy birthday
tomorrow and bless her family, her mom, her dad her brothers and
sisters." She continued to bless all of you in detail. It touched my
heart because I think about how all of you have prayed for her and here
she was praying so sincerely for all of you too.
We are teaching someone named
Josue. His wife is a member of the church who was less active but has
been coming back to church lately. I remember the first time we taught
him he said he didn't believe the Book of Mormon is true and he was
really hard. He stopped listening to us for a while but then started to
read the testimony of Joseph Smith and opened up to have us over to
teach him again. We've been teaching him for the past few weeks and he
is doing so well. He still has a lot of doubts but the Spirit is really
working within him. On Saturday we challenged him to be baptized and
he didn't accept. It’s been really hard for him to accept all of this.
Towards the end of the lesson I felt prompted to ask him what his
motives were for listening to us. He began to really open up and told
us about how he used to have a really good relationship with God but
fell away for a while. Then he said we "Woke up something inside of him
that he hadn't felt for a long time" It touched my heart and the
spirit was so strong. Yesterday he came to Church for the first time
ever. That was a huge leap of faith for him.
Please pray for him and his family.
Love you all!
Hermana Jackson
