Brothers
and sisters,
This is my last weekly email. I am saddened at the thought that this 18 month journey of mine is coming to a close, but I am so thankful for these 18 months. I have been blessed of the Lord exceedingly. I had no idea what I was getting into on that bright summer day in August of 2016. I had no idea how much I would love this part of the country. I had no idea that part of my heart would always belong to Philadelphia.
I love Philadelphia. I love the culture. I love the intensity. I love the music. I love the loud ness. I love the craziness. I love the diversity. I love the soul food. I love pretzels. I love the smell of the city. I love the history. I love the colors. I love the people. I love being a missionary. I love sharing the gospel. I love being Sister Jackson. I thank my Heavenly Father every day for the blessing of being His hands in this glorious part of His vineyard.
There is so much to say, and so much to do. I am excited to see my family again. I know that the work of the Lord will go on, and I will continue to play a part in it. My work isn’t done just because I take off the tag, in fact it’s all just beginning once again.
I love you all, thank you for sticking around this long, for your prayers and support. I’ll see you soon!
