Hey Yall!

What a blessed week!! God is SO good! I have two experiences that I want to share this week... The first one is about Christine! She was baptized on Saturday! And what a tender experience that was. To see a 92 year old enter the waters of baptism and become a member of the church! Her daughter is a member and shared this experience yesterday in fast and testimony meeting. The daughter has been a member for 41 years now. She was baptized when she was 12. And this past October her mom got a blood clot in her leg and the doctor said they were going to have to amputate it. Christine received a blessing and the clot was gone. The doctors were amazed! This experienced touched Christine. And in January she started taking the missionary lessons. It has been such a spiritual experience to teach her. To hear her mom testify of the gospel in the lessons and how they can be a family forever has touched my heart! And on Saturday I got to see her son in law baptize her. To see Christine so happy and the sweetest smile I have ever seen on her face afterwards. It was a precious day :)

The second one is about Connie! She is getting baptized on Saturday! I have never met someone so excited to be baptized! She has been reading the Book of Mormon every day! and listening to past Conference talks, reading True to the Faith! and much more! She strengthens my testimony every time I see her! Her faith in Christ is so strong! She has been smoking for about 40 years and this past Wednesday she committed to stop smoking. That was the last thing she needed to do in preparation to be baptized! On Tuesday she took all her coins/savings and used the money to buy the things she needed to stop smoking. We introduced her to this stop smoking in a week program! and she is doing it! She is amazing! Her and her husband both stopped smoking and having been cleaning their whole house to get rid of the smell! She is an inspiration! 

On the 20th of this month, my whole mission is going to Tulsa for a mission conference and Elder Christofferson is coming! I am so excited! and I have been out on my mission for just about 8 months! Isn't that crazy! I LOVE being a missionary so much! I am so grateful that I have this time to be a missionary serving the Lord in Oklahoma! Have a blessed week :)

All my love,

Sister Jackson
