#LIGHTtheWORLD

This past week we had a mission tour from Elder and Sister Sitati! It was amazing to hear from them. Did you know even general authorities have authority cards? Who knew?! For almost an hour he let all us missionaries ask him questions and it was inspiring what we heard. He is SO funny! He is from Kenya. He spoke last weekend at Norman Stake Conference as well. They are converts of about 30 years and it was missionaries who met them first!

Sister Burley and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We had about 5 Turkey dinners from Thursday to Sunday. Everyone in Seminole really likes their turkey and pie!! We were so full!! So grateful for all the kind families who had us over! What a blessing it was. My cute family even included me in their dinner! :)

Sister Burley and I also saw Cokeville Miracle for the first time! It was wonderful! I recommend watching it sometime if you haven't seen it! Speaking of miracles we had the biggest one this past week. A couple weeks ago we met a lady named Teresa. She was so kind to us and agreed to let us come back. A couple days after that she texted us asking if we lived by the Bible or the Book of Mormon. We expressed to her that we believe and live by both of them. She then told us that she just lived by the Bible and couldn't meet with us. We told her we want to meet and talk more about it and she agreed :) We finally met with her this past week! and we talked about the Restoration and the Book of Mormon. She said it made sense and that she was going to start reading the Book of Mormon. And she said that she had never been able to find a church family and she was still searching for one! Teresa is SO prepared! I'm so glad she let us come over and help clear up some things she didn't understand. 

Don't forget to light the world this Christmas Season! We kicked off our service last night by making Christmas cards with a family in the ward to send to soldiers! Love you all! Have a blessed week!

All my love,
Sister Jackson

How we spent our Thanksgiving! The Wellness Center in Seminole has been putting up lights for the past couple months (it seems that way at least). They finally turned on and we went to look at them!
