Hello! I hope it's been a good week for you all wherever you might be

through the world! It's been an interesting week. I don't quite have

all the words to describe what has happened, but it's been a good week

and that's all that matters!

We spent part of Wednesday morning at the temple! It was awesome as

always! The temple is such a great place to be. Full of the spirit and

you just know that you're doing something right because you get to be

there! After we got to go have Panda Express for lunch 😋 it was so

good! I hope that you all have the temple in your sights, because it's

the best place to be!

Monday we taught an amazing Family Home Evening with our wonderful

YSA! We taught the donut analogy for the Atonement. It was so powerful

and the Spirit was so thick. At the end we had everyone do a one

sentence testimony of the Savior, which is something President Randall

has us do, and it was so powerful! Nothing brings the Spirit faster

and more powerfully than simple one sentence testimonies of the

Savior.

The next day we had a lesson with a lady named Myesha. We taught the

Restoration and it was so good! She had a lot of questions and the

spirit was there the whole time! Sadly we had to pass her off to the

elders, she's amazing though. She's really looking for the truth,

she's thirsting for it. She's ready. We had dinner with the Molano's

that night and I love them! It was so awesome!

We had another lesson with Rhonda this week! It was good! She is an

amazing woman. She has a desire to learn, she just needs to understand

a few more things about what we really believe and she will be there!

That night we had exchanges with Reading so Sister Phelon came up here

to spend the day with me!

The next day was great! Sister Phelon and I got to go teach Sister

Silfies about the Restoration. It was super awesome! She's so amazing!

Sister Silfies has great faith in the Lord and has such a desire to

share that with her family! It's so awesome! Following that we had a

lesson with the Robertsons, a super cute family from Nibley! It was so

much fun! After we exchanged back and then got to go on exchanges

again with the Lehighton sisters, I got to go to Lehighton with Sister

Carter!

Lehighton was so much fun! It is the cutest little town! We met the

sweetest people there! Sister Carter loves to do missionary work, she

and her companion just left the Priesthood Site to come to proselyte

in Lehighton! We had dinner with some members up there and they were

the cutest! Sister Carter was just out talking to everyone during the

day, we met lots of amazing people! It was so awesome! I love these

sisters so much!

Sunday was so crazy. We had meetings on meetings on meetings. Starting

at 7:30 until about 5:15. It was crazy! Following that we had a lesson

with the Skidmores and it was amazing! We read 1 Nephi 17 and we

really just dove into it. We talked about how the scriptures in that

chapter can apply to us in the day to day life! It was so awesome!

On Sunday we had the most amazing miracle! A few weeks ago Sister Bush

and I received a referral for a lady named Stephanie, we stopped by a

few times but she was never home. Then we decided to ask her neighbor

and her neighbor told us that she'd been out of state for months. So

on Sunday we got a phone call from some sisters in Montana, they told

us that they had a few referrals for us and one of their names was

Stephanie, and she lived at the address of our mysterious referral.

Turns out Stephanie was in Montana the last few months and was able to

find missionaries there and be taught! It was such a blessing.

This week has been hard, but good. Monday evening we got a phone call

from a lady in our ward to tell us that one of our really good friends

had passed away in a tragic car accident. It was so sad for us to hear

that she had passed. Sister Bush and I attended her viewing on

Thursday and it was so sad to see someone we loved so dearly, she

didn't even look like the Cindy Amorino that we knew and that we love.

Friday Sister Phelon and I attended the funeral. It was beautiful

ceremony, friends and family the Plan of Salvation is so real. Today

Sister Bush and I were able to go to her grave site. It's still not

real to me that a dear sweet friend is waiting of the other side of

the veil.

Missionary work is amazing my friends. I had a dear, sweet YSA ask me

what my mission meant to me and it just brought me to tears to even

think about how much my mission has changed my life. Serving others,

serving Christ is a life changing experience. If any of you are

thinking about a mission, just say yes. You will not regret serving, I

promise you that. Serving others is the only way to find yourself, and

to find true happiness. Sometimes your blessings come in unexpected

ways, and sometimes it might even be in the form of raindrops.

Life is good. God is great. I love you all

Much love,

Sister Jackson
