We had a ton of finding miracles!! One day this past week we had some time before dinner and so we were out walking the streets! and we met SO many people! We talked with EVERYONE and set some return appointments! I love how much I can see Heavenly Fathers hand in our life! He truly does guide us! There was no coincidence we were knocking the houses we were. Heavenly Father has people everywhere who are prepared to hear this message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! We just have to put our faith in Him and go forward!
We also met with a part member family, the Sargents, who just moved into the ward! We were trying to figure out who would be a good fellowship for this family and when we were at correlation with our ward mission leader a family came to our minds! So we asked the Roper family if they could come to a lesson with us and they said why don't you invite them over for dinner and we can have a lesson afterwards! (What?!) That's the kind of member missionary I want to be someday! The Roper family is AMAZING! So we all went over there and it was just perfect! The families were great for each other! All the kids got along together! Almost at the end of the Restoration lesson, the oldest son William asks "what's baptism?" (uhh... missionary fail!) You can tell Sister Caudill and I are use to teaching people who already know this stuff haha but it has been a good learning experience for us! From that point on we were better at explaining things! and when we were about to leave and were setting up another time for a lesson, Sister Roper invited us all over again on sunday for the same thing! And yesterday we invited them to be baptized on May 14th! So the two children are preparing for baptism!
Anyways, this past week truly was wonderful! Sister Caudill and I set a goal to read the Book of Mormon last transfer and this past week we were able to finish it! I LOVE the Book of Mormon! It truly is another testament of Jesus Christ. President Gordon B. Hinckley declared: "Those who have read the Book of Mormon prayerfully, be they rich or poor, learned or unlearned, have grown under its power... without reservation I promise you that if you will prayerfully read the Book of Mormon, regardless of how many times you previously have read it, there will come into your hearts.. the Spirit of the Lord. There will come a strengthened resolution to walk in obedience to His commandments, and there will come a stronger testimony of the living reality of the Son of God." I am so grateful for the Book of Mormon! I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God and contains the fullness of the gospel! Learn to LOVE this book, it changes lives! Have a blessed week!
All my love,
Sister Jackson
