"Basically Following God's Footsteps"

Hey yall! Its been another WONDERFUL week! and this past week was very eventful!

Tuesday= STORMS and MIRACLES!
Sister Caudill and I were on exchanges and it just so happened to be on the day that there were suppose to be a lot of storms! They say with May just to expect storms all the time! Well it was both Sister Smiths and I first time with all the tornado weather! But despite the bad weather we saw so many miracles!! Almost all our plans fell through or canceled but so many good things DID happen! Normally the best miracles happen when things fall through. We were waiting at McDonalds for one of our investigators to show up. While we were waiting, a couple walks up to us and starts talking to us. They saw the Book of Mormon on the table and knew we were missionaries! They were a couple visiting from Texas and they actually are taking the lessons and preparing to be baptized sometime this month! The night before they had met some people who didn't really agree with our church and told them all these negative things. They had been praying to know if they should still get baptized. Then they stopped to go to the bathroom at the McDonalds before they headed back to Texas and we were there! She said we were an answer to their prayers!

We spent the last couple hours of the evening with the Nicholas family! We were able to watch some of the storm before the rain/hail came! The lightning was quite the show! The storms here are amazing! Such a cute fun family! We even had some smores while we were waiting the storm out :)
Wednesday= MISSION POSSIBLE
A ward out in Guthrie invited us out to a Young Womens activity. It was a question and answer with us! And the activity turned out SO good! They had some great questions! and it was so nice to be around all these wonderful sisters who are preparing to serve missions someday! What a wonderful experience!

Remember Pennellen?! Well she has been having a hard time and so we haven't seen her in a couple weeks but this past week we got a call from the family history center saying that Pennellen was trying to get a hold of us! She had gotten a new phone and lost our number so she looked up the church in the phone book and called them in hopes to get in contact with us! She is SO great!

A member took us out to eat at the Garage! 
On Sunday we had another lesson with the Sargent family and we taught them the Plan of Salvation! Towards the end we were talking about the gospel of Jesus Christ and Jonathan says, "basically following God's footsteps." They are such great boys and it has been such a joy teaching them! Keep them in your prayers! They are preparing to be baptized in a couple weeks.

Hope yall have a blessed week! Thanks for all the love and support! :) 

All my love,
Sister Jackson

We like to find Okie things and then put our nametags next to them
