Hello friends and family! I hope that your Christmas has been
enjoyable and that you have had a good time around loved ones!

My Christmas was awesome! I loved talking to family and seeing their
faces in case you were wondering! We have had a good time teaching and
finding people! We found three new investigators and had a great time
teaching with everyone!

We had a lot of finding time on our hands, it was very well rounded
when it came to finding! We found one through member referrals, bible
referrals, and tracting! We first met a lady named Martha! Martha is a
lady who we tracted into in Coatesville, we were knocking on doors and
we had only a few minutes before sundown and we had zero success doing
anything while knocking. Martha was the last door we knocked in this
neighborhood and she opened the door and we talked about how we are
here to share a video about Christ and Christmas. She told us that
right now wasn't a good time but that she wanted us to come back, so
obviously we went back a few day later to share the video and she let
us right in to share and set up a return appointment with her and she
was so excited to have us come back. She had been looking for a church
in the area because she got to stressed out going to her normal
church.

We had a bible referral as well, her name is Nukeyshia! She was so
cool! We took in her Bible as well as a Book of Mormon. We spent
sometime getting to know her (she owns a bar but doesn't drink) and
she grew up baptist but doesn't like any of the churches out here so
she has been looking for a new church to go to and is super interested
in learning more about what we have to say and teach!

Our last new gator was Javier. Javier was a referral from a member. We
go over to a members house every Tuesday for family home evening.
Javier, a member, brought Javier to the said FHE. Javier really liked
what we had to say and came to church the next Sunday he also came to
the net fhe and told us that he wants to ask his mom for permission to
be baptized into our church which was super cool! So we taught him on
Friday for the first time and he had a lot of interesting questions
about the Godhead and all that so it was really interesting. He super
cool though!

We also visited with a lot of less actives this week and met a few who
I had never ever met before!  One of them was a lady named sister
Taggart and we just happened to knock on her door when we were in the
area and she let us right in the share the video and talk with her
about life! She was so sweet and has such a strong testimony of Christ
and the gospel.

We also met with Denise Ritter again. She is doing really well still
and is just as strong in the gospel as ever! She's so sweet!

We also had Christmas conference this week and it was so awesome! We
watched Its a Wonderful Life and it was super cute and fun! Believe it
or not I also sang there! It was super scary but super awesome a the
same time! Looks like I am finally learning to overcome my fears! WE
talked about a lot of really awesome stuff and a lot about Christ
because of Christmas as you can assume :) It was just a good time!

Christmas Eve was super awesome! We spent some time Mitchell's making
tamales which was way so fun! Plus they taste really good! We then
went to the Mele's for some snacks and Christmas traditions. The last
stop was dinner at the Whitaker house and we had a really good time
there!

Then Christmas was so fun! Talking with the family was so much fun! We
also spent the day with the Seamans and the Hemmingers. Who are both
so awesome!

Today we went and got pedicures with some members (Sister Gregory and
her sister) and it was super awesome! It felt so good to just relax,
ahhhhh

I love you all! I miss you all!

I hope you have a great week and I will talk to you next year!!

Love,
Sister Jackson
