News from Heaven General Conference!

April 4th 

Last week a member took us to Pops! Off of Route 66 in Arcadia, OK! It was SO fun! They have this giant soda pop outside and inside they have over 700 different kinds of pop to chose from! Its a must see if you are ever close by!

Tuesday we had Zone Conference! And during lunch President Walkenhorst had us all write on post cards to the new mission president! I am sad to see that President Walkenhorst's time is coming to an end. He said its such a weird thing being called to be a mission president. You know as soon as your called when you will be released. And 6 months before you leave they tell you who your replacement will be! I LOVE President and Sister Walkenhorst! I am excited to get to know President and Sister Mansell as well.

Thursday I had the opportunity to go to a Funeral of one of our investigator's friend. She had planned and prepared it all so we wanted to go to support her. It was at a Black Baptist church and Sister Caudill and I were the only white people there! It was an interesting experience. The music and the people talking were all SO loud! I just felt uncomfortable and was wondering how anyone could feel the spirit with everything being so loud. The preacher just kept saying over and over again, "Do you have your ticket to Heaven" and pointing at us. It was awkward haha. I turned to Sister Caudill and said, "yes I do" and smiled! I was just imagining conference coming up and the quiet, soothing voices of the church leaders! and Motab too. Afterwards we went to the car and put on some Motab. Nothing brings the music quite like the hymns! 

The Bunches got married! They are such a cute family! They have us over for dinner almost every single week!  

And lastly... General Conference! Such a wonderful weekend! I have been so inspired and uplifted. The prophet, apostles, and leaders know exactly what we each need to hear. And I know that what they have said is TRUE! I am so grateful for their testimonies of the gospel! And for the chance we get to hear from them every 6 months! We are all SO BLESSED! After General Conference Sunday evening we met with this amazing family! The family was referred by a member in another ward. The moms work together! This family is SO cute! They have four kids (10, 8, 7, 6)! I forgot how challenging it can be to teach a family! They kids are so full of energy! To keep their attention during a lesson can be tough but it was so worth it! This family is SO prepared! 

I hope yall had a wonderful week! If you didn't get a chance to watch General Conference, go watch it! It truly is such a joy that we get to hear from the leaders of the church! They tell us exactly what we need in todays world! I LOVE the gospel and I am so grateful to be apart of such a wonderful church! Have a blessed week :) 

All my love,

Sister Jackon
