Email #91...Monday, December 5

i'm glad i finally wrote you and that you guys actually got the letters (Wade and I got hand written letters!). i'm really sorry i haven't written you more... i know how much more meaningful a letter is, it's just so tough for me. so i apoligize to all you family and friends for not writing you. it's not because i'm not thinking of you all, there's just not enough time in the day to write and at the rate i write, it would take ages. sooo, forgive me!

this week has been a crazy one. Elder Mendenhall and i are having a really good time. i'm enjoying the missino so much right now. i love it! we are working hard and seeing lots of fruits from your prayers.... so thank you! this week we were able to put 6 baptismal dates for the 17th of December. even though it's summer here, it's going to be a white Christmas! it was such a great experience with Sidney and his family. he was sick in bed when we went over to their house, but he wanted to talk to us... so we taught the whole family in his bedroom. we talked a little more about baptism and Sidney told us about some dreams that he had about how he had to prepare for something soon. he found it as an answer to his prayers that he needed to prepare himself for baptism. we then proceeded to talk about the Holy Ghost and the spirit came so strong. it was a happiness that i hadn't felt in quite a while. and we challenged them to the 17th. they accepted al tiro (right away)! then we put a fecha with Isidora who is a part member family, and then Marta and Moises, who were references from another sector. so i'm gonna say it was one of the greatest weeks here!

the truth is, that is all i have to tell you this week. we are now going to go to a museum thing on the beach with a family that i met in Bio Bio who live in our sector now, so i will be sure to send you some pictures either later or next week. love you all! have a great week.

love Elder jackson
