Hey Yall! I can't believe its been another week already! Sister Burley and I have seen so much goodness this past week. I wanted to share one experience!
We are still meeting with David and Shani! And they are doing great. Sunday morning right before church David called and said he couldn't make it. We asked if Shani needed a ride and he said no I can bring her. So about 15 minutes later Shani came into church with the boys. She came by herself!!! Since I first met her she was nervous about the boys but she brought them. She LOVED church from last week and her boys did really well again. She even stayed for Sunday School. We had a lesson on tithing and she said she enjoyed it because we had already talked about it before. She even participated! After church we stopped by to teach them a lesson but David had to go somewhere so we ended up just saying a prayer with them. The thought came to ask little David, he is 3, to help me with the prayer. We have invited Shani to pray with the boys but she says they are too young. Its hard cause they have never prayed before. David came over and followed what I was doing and folded his arms but then he got distracted and ran off lol. I didn't want to stop there so I remembered I had some gummy bears in my bag so I pulled them out and told David he could have them after he prays with us. So he folds his arms again and then said what I said. It was super short but he did it! Afterwards Shani was just grinning! She was so excited!!!! It was a tender teaching experience. Also a couple days before this we were talking with Shani about the Book of Mormon and she said, "I'm really starting to get into it!" I love this family! They are all doing so well!
I'm sorry I don't have more time to write! I love all yall!! Things here in Oklahoma are going really well!!! I love being a missionary so much!!!
All my love,
Sister Jackson
