Hello fans! This week was so good, can we all just take a moment and

reflect on Conference? If you missed out on any session I highly

recommend taking sometime on LDS.org this week to watch it, and even

if you got all the sessions I recommend that you watch, read or listen

to some of the talks again! You can never get enough divine

inspiration from the words of Gods called Apostles and Prophets!

I hope that you all enjoyed Conference and that you received answers

to questions and received revelation on whatever has been troubling

you. I sure know that I did! I felt the eyes of the apostles stare

into mine and marveled as they answered my exact question. Truly there

is nothing greater than receiving the witness that, yes God loves you,

He hears your prayers and He will answer them. "Wether by my voice or

that of my servants it is the same."

We had yet another great week out here in the beautiful state of

Pennsylvania! I really love it out here, its interesting to think of

PA as home, but that is what it has become over these last few months!

Time is going by way too fast for me, and i cant believe it has been

seven whole months since I entered the MTC as a brand new missionary!

Even more it has been one whole year since I put in my mission papers.

I remember submitting my papers on the Friday before General

Conference. I was so nervous, excited and anxious to find out where I

was going to go. I was ready to be uplifted at conference, and it

came. I remember on Saturday afternoon I drove my brother and his

friend out to go fishing, I was mad that I couldn't sit at home and

listen to conference so we listened to it on the radio. I was nervous

to get my call, and was rethinking my decision. After I dropped the

kids off the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sang, "Ill go where you want me

to go" and the tears were real. I am so happy that I responded to my

call, that i came where he wanted me to be and that I am doing the

Lords work, today and every day. When we go where the Lord wants us to

go, we know we are on the pathway home to Him.

I love these people and I love my investigators. This week we taught

Agnes and we set her with another baptism date! She is going to be

baptized on April 15 and I am so excited to watch her step into those

waters and come out a new person! She is so full of faith and of hope.

Her joy in the gospel is so incredible and she loves the Book of

Mormon. She has the strongest testimony of Christ and that He lives

and she shares that with anyone and everyone, wether they want to

listen or not.

We also met with a man named Keith this week! We had been trying to

get into contact with him my first few weeks here and we just could

not find him! Well we were in his area last week and we just decided

to knock on his door and he was home! We set up a time to come back

and to have a sit down lesson with him and this week we did! Keith is

so awesome, and the Light of Christ shines in him! He has had a hard

time lately but he talked about how it has opened his heart to Christ

and how he is ready and willing to accept him more into his life.

We saw Brother Waters again this week and I seriously wish you all

could see him. He looks completely different than he did 10 weeks ago.

When I first met him you could tell he was missing something in his

life, he just didnt know what it was. Now he has found the thing he

was looking for, he's started reading the Book of Mormon again, he is

coming to church regularly. His life is really changing and I am so

glad I get to see him change his life.

We also met with a less active YSA and she is so cute! Her parents are

converts to the church but she has been a lifelong member. She talked

about how coming to college is what made her less active, she didn't

have people to tell her to go to church, she doesnt have a car and she

was in college. She wants to come back though, she had questions for

us and decided that we reached out to her because it was time for her

to find her way back home.

Kevin is doing great! He has been busy with school but hes still

killing it! James is doing so good! He watched part of General

Conference and he loved it! He has really taken to the gospel and has

a lot of questions about Christ and about how he can have Christ more

in his life!

Life is so good out here and I am thankful for every day I have! I am

thankful for the Book of Mormon and the guidance it is in my life. I

am thankful for living apostles and prophets of God. I am thankful for

the peace that the Gospel brings. If you wanna watch a really cool

video about peace go check out Mormon.org, Jesus Christ really is the

Prince of Peace.

I love you all. I love our Savior. I love His work, word and gospel.

Much love,

Sister Jackson
