Hello all you people all over the world! I hope that you are enjoying

the heat (or for those in South America that youre enjoying the cool)

and that you are loving life! It has been yet another great week out

here in the Keystone state! It has officially gotten humid and

horrible, my hair doesnt like it. The worst was the cooling system was

broken in the chapel yesterday so for both of my sacrament meetings i

was melting 77 degrees with 67% humidity with a bunch of other hot

bodies, it seriously would hit you like a wall, it was so bad!

This week we went and saw Sister Price again and she is doing great!

We were able to help her paint some of the statues she has for her

bamboo forest and just talk with her! She is doing a lot better than

last week and then after we left she texted us and told us that she

needs to find her way back to her church! She is so awesome and I am

so excited to keep working with her!

We also got to meet with Shawntiana this week! It was kind of a crazy

story since she lives in Bethlehem! We have to get rides when we go to

teach her because we don't have the miles to drive up there all the

time. So this week we drove up with Sophie Walmer one of the YSA's!

She is so incredibly sweet! Anyway, we actually had two lessons that

day, one in Allentown and the one with Shawntiana. So we went to the

one in Allentown and the lady ended up canceling so what did we do? We

walked, as we were walking we were stopped by a group of ladies who

had lots of questions for us! She asked us about what we were going to

do and who we were and all of that! She ended up giving us her address

and her number so that we could go back and teach her! The lord give

miracles when you still work hard when plans fall through! Our lesson

with Shawntiana was so awesome! She accepted baptism and even prayed

to know if she needs to be baptized with us! It was so cool to see the

spirit fill the room!

This week Sister Bush and I got permission to join the rebellion. Our

YSA branch had an activity at Applebees, but it was at 9 at night. So

yeah. We talked with President Randall last week and he told us we

could go but we had to be in by 10! So we went, and it was weird to be

out past nine, at Applebees on karaoke night. They all kept commenting

on how awkward we looked! It was one time on my mission that I felt

incredibly out of place!

This week we also had mission tour with Elder Kopischke, a member of

the seventy on the same day we had our lesson with Shawntiana. So we

were down in Broomall until 4 being taught by the spirit! I learned so

much about my purpose as a missionary, how I can follow the spirit

better and how I can let the spirit change me! It was so awesome to be

there and to learn! We talked a lot about the Plan of Salvation and

how we should teach it. We also talked about how important it is to

follow all of the promptings that the Spirit gives to us, so this week

I have tried to do just that! I have seen so many things happen

because I followed the spirit in the moments when I most needed to! I

was able to bear testimony to a less active over the phone because I

did not know what to say, I was able to have impressions to go visit

people and to study certain things, it was awesome!

One of the best things about this week was the temple. We were able to

go to the temple on Saturday and do some baptisms! I had found some

names not to long ago who needed all of their ordinances done so I was

able to help them receive the ordinances of baptism and confirmation

and it was so powerful! The spirit is so amazing in the temple. I just

love it! We also ran into Sister Kuta, Sister Adhikari, Sister Durrant

and Sister Counts outside the temple and it was so cool to see all of

them!

Oh goodness, I love my mission. I love the Lord and I LOVE this gospel

and the opportunity that I have to share it with all of those who will

listen!

Have a great week!

Much love,

Sister Jackson
