"Go About Doing Good" President W.

This past week was SO busy! So much happened, I don't even know where to begin! Here is a picture from a couple p-days ago when we combined with another zone to play sports! 

Last Monday Sister Caudill and I drove up to Stillwater for a missionary meeting and while all the missionaries were spiritually preparing someone says, "Thats the Tornado siren!" Some of the missionaries run outside and over the speaker someone says that we need to take cover! So everyone kind of starts freaking out! We all go outside and its sunny with some rain but nothing to crazy! So we all get in our cars to figure out where to go and after about 10 minutes we just decide to stay at the church! So we all stay outside and end up seeing some tornadoes off in the distance! So we just had to take a picture! From all the other people at the church you can tell we weren't in any danger! It was CRAZY! It was cool to see one at a safe distance away!
President Walkenhorst has about a month and a half left before he heads back to California! We are all going to miss him SO much! On wednesday I had my last interview with him before he leaves and President Mansell comes. I LOVE President Walkenhorst! I have learned so much from him! I asked him what he hopes we all remember about him when he is gone and he says, "That I cared." I know that President cares about ALL of the missionaries! You can just feel it! He also talked to me about "doing good."
Acts10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
He talked about how we are the happiest when we are doing good. It doesn't matter where we are serving, just that we are doing good! I love that! Go about doing good.

On Thursday the Village Ward volunteered at the Regional Food Bank in Oklahoma! Its in the South part of the City! It was SO fun! If anyone has a food bank close by them, go volunteer!!! They divided up all the people there into 2 big groups! We were in the group that sorted the food and boxed them into 5 different categories! Our group provided over 6,700 meals! That is enough meals for one person for 4 years!! It was SO fun! A great service activity!

Saturday we had a pass off lesson with the University Ward Sisters! A couple weeks ago they met Keith and Jack but they are too old to be going to the University Ward so they passed them off to us! All four of us taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ and it went so well! They ended up asking how they could be baptized and they set a date to be baptized next month!

Hope yall are doing good! Thanks for all the love, support, and prayers! Its appreciated :) Have a blessed week! Love all yall!

All my love,
Sister Jackson
We found a sign with the name of our area on it! The Village North, English speaking :)
