Dear Family,                  29 Oct 2012

Ok, so this is a picture of Merlin that got baptized.  She has basically taught herself the gospel by reading the book of Mormon on her own and we would leave pamphlets with her in the bread store and answer her questions.  One day she had an appointment with the elders to teach her the Plan of Salvation but a problem came up and she wasn´t able to get there on time.  But she was really anxious to know about it and she also wanted to know more about baptisms for the dead.  We explained a little bit about the Spirit World and Heavenly Father´s plan for his children.  While we were explaining she stopped us and said "So, that means I’m going to see my grandmother again?"  We answered with confidence that she would.  Her eyes watered a little and then she asked "And my aunt?"  We assured her that she would be able to see her too.  She smiled the biggest smile with tears of joy in her eyes.  I felt so privileged to be able to share that with her and see the hope and joy that the Gospel is bringing into her live.

Let us not take for granted the precious blessings that are promised to us through Gods plan of salvation.

Have a good week.

Love you all,

Hermana Jackson
