"Jesus Christ is Joy"- President Nelson

Heavenly Father answers prayers! I have seen that so much this past week! I had a couple experiences I wanted to share

• We had another lesson with JoAnn and in her prayer she said, "I had some questions but they seem to be getting answered." We watched the Restoration video with her and I always feel the spirit so strong whenever I watch it! She said she was going to continue reading more from the Book of Mormon
• Trey came to General Conference!!
• Last week when Elvis got baptized his step son David came. This past week we met with him and his wife Shani! They both expressed wanting to be baptized! We have never really met with David before. Shani normally joined the lessons with Elvis and believes everything we have taught! The hard thing for them is coming to church. So please keep them in your prayers that they will be able to overcome that fear and come to church!
• Lastly on Thursday when we were out finding. We were walking down the street and saw an older man pull into his driveway and get out of the car. We were still a little ways down the street when he started to go inside. We wanted to talk to him so Sister Long yells, "Hello, how are you?" haha so he turns around and looks at us and we hurry down the road to talk with him. His name is Carl and he has had so many touches with the church. Same with his girlfriend Ginger too. They know so many members! There were so sweet to us and told us we could come back again sometime!

And this past weekend was General Conference!!!!

   

My mom shared the picture quotes with me and I thought I would share them too! Thanks Mom! All the talks were SO good! We were greatly blessed and spiritually enriched. How blessed we are for the wonderful leaders in our church that have been called of God. They truly spoke to each one of the us. 

One of my favorites was President Nelson about joy: "The joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives. When the focus of our lives is on God’s plan of salvation and Jesus Christ and His gospel, we can feel joy regardless of what is happening—or not happening—in our lives." I loved how much they talked about our relationship with Heavenly Father and Christ. How we need to be doing things to strengthen that. Whether its through church, prayer, or reading the scriptures. So many ways to strengthen our faith and we need to be doing that everyday so we can be more faithful followers and disciples of Christ. 

I hope all yall were touched in some way from General Conference! We are all so blessed from the Gospel of Jesus Christ! and how blessed we are with the opportunity to share it. To share truth with others around us. Don't forget to read and pray! Heavenly Father always wants to hear from us. Have a blessed week!

All my love,

Sister Jackson
