I hope yall have a blessed Thanksgiving! What a beautiful time of the year we have to express our Thanksgiving for all those around us! I'm truly grateful for so many things but especially grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
Sister Burley and I had a wonderful week! Here are a couple highlights:
- We found 4 new investigators this week! Unfortunately we stopped teaching some of our other investigators that we had been teaching for awhile. A lot of them we had not been able to meet with lately and were not keeping their commitments. We were really sad about it but Heavenly Father in his goodness blessed us with more people to teach!! It was an amazing experience! We are so grateful!
- Last week Sister Burley and I met a lady named Shauna and her family at the park. She told us that her husband's best friend was LDS! We had an amazing conversation with her and were so excited! Except she was about to move and didn't know where so she didn't give us an exact address. But yesterday we went out searching for Douglas street which is where Shauna's mom lived. We forgot our map and couldn't find Douglas so the first door we knocked on to ask for directions pointed us in the right direction. Then the first person we talked to on Douglas just happened to know Shauna!! She said she lived just a couple houses down. We go to the house and there are some kids outside and we ask if Shauna lives there and they said she moved and then gave us her house number and street. MIRACLES! We were suppose to find Shauna! So we then made almost a full circle back to where we parked our bikes and go and meet her husband! Heavenly Father is in the details of everything!
- Also this weekend we had Stake Conference! We were spiritually blessed! Elder and Sister Sitati came to it! Us missionaries get to hear from them again tomorrow.
- #LIGHTtheWORLD The new Christmas initiative this year is all about service! They want us to be a light and serve! Anyone we want and anyway we want! Starting with a worldwide day of service on DECEMBER 1st! Check out the website for more about it and be apart of this great day!! https://www.mormon.org/

This holiday season be a LIGHT! It helps us all remember that Jesus Christ is the light of the world! “When people think of Christmas, they often think of lights,” said Bruce Muir, director of emergency response for the Church. “Christmas lights, lighted store windows, tree lights. Christ taught ‘Ye are the light of the world,” and we hope that through small and simple acts of service, we can spread the light of Christ—helping others to feel the love of the Savior through genuine kindness.”
I hope yall have a blessed Thanksgiving with family and friends!!
All my love,
Sister Jackson
