Wazzup!!

Good morning from Downingtown! I hope you all had a fantastic week and if you didn't here's my email to, as my hero Victoria Beckham once sang, spice up your life. ;)

This week has been good! Philly was truly amazing! After philly we had service at a place called CYWA, where on the second Monday of every month the church goes and feeds the homeless of Coatsville. That was super cool! We also got to do some service for a member in our ward Sister Seaman! She's my favorite! I love her so much! The Seamans are just an awesome family! 

We met with some RCLA's this week! We do tend to do that a lot as you may have noticed. Sister O'Conner was super cool, we walked in and started talking with her she told us she has some Word of wisdom problems but that she wants to come back to church one day. We also met with the Bangura family again they're so cool the only problem is their mom works every Sunday and we can't really tell her to quit her job because she is to provide for her family somehow so we're working with her to see what we can do to help her come back to church. We met with a lady in Coatesville her name is Denise she's been a convert about a year now she was super cool. She has faith in Christ and what he did for us and she's just really awesome. We also met with Iryna, oh man Iryna, she makes such good food! She's been a convert of about a year, she's taking temple prep right now to be sealed to her husband Jeremy. They met each other in the Ukraine while he was serving his mission and then they reconnected when she moved back to United States after she finished getting her degree in the UK.

We taught Oscar again this week he's super awesome, and doing super well. He finally read from the book of Mormon all by himself and was understanding the things that he read so we are super excited to keep working with him and continue to have him grow his testimonies that he can prepare to be baptized in December! We also met with the Samual family again we are having a struggle with them because we think there's a language barrier and they don't fully comprehend all of her teaching them. They also haven't come to church yet even though we've invited them multiple times so we are wondering how truly interested they are.

We met with an investigator this week her name is Theresa, she's from Liberia. She was super cool we walked in and give her a scripture from the holy Bible and also from the book of Mormon and she told us that she wants to re-center her life in Christ because since she's come to the states she has not her life centered on Christ. We're hoping to continue to meet with her and to teach her a little bit more about what we believe so that she can understand and hopefully want to become a member of the church. We also tracked it into a few people Maurice and Jeff they're both super cool. Maurice doesn't really have a religion but he accepted the book of Mormon and gave us a return appointment so that was really cool. We also met Jeff. Jeff had been taking lessons in Lancaster before he moved out here to Downingtown and he actually gone to a church before so we're hoping to continue to meet with him and to continue to help him understand the Gospel.

We had zone conference this week and it was super cool they talked a lot about making sure our planning sessions and study sessions are being used effectively. It was awesome to get some suggestions on how to better study for investigators in to make sure that we are putting specifically for them to each night so we can teach them to the best of our ability the next day.

The Downingtown Dodge. So this week we had a dinner appointment with Sister Bergholm and we left on time to get there on time and we arrive to her house to find out that the address on LDS Tools was actually her sisters house. So we called her to see what her actual address was and we put it in the GPS and it said she still live 30 minutes away. So we drive for 30 minutes and we end up in basically what you would imagine it's homage country. Pull up to the house and there are no lights on so we call her to see if you're at the right place and we are not. So we put in her correct address and we're still 15 minutes away I'm she was super cool about it though and we made it there and had some delicious Mexican food that she made. she is a super cool lady who is dating a non-member who was also there and he excepted our pass along card challenge like to the biggest extent. He posted about on Facebook he's been sharing it with people and he wants to meet with us again so we're hoping that we can continue to teach him in to have her become her own missionary so that they can become a family. 

We also met a lady who only believes in science and not God. Yes we quoted nacho libre for like 10 minutes.

This week has been awesome! I love being a missionary, I love Philadelphia, I love all of you. You're the greatest!

Love,

Sister Jackson
