Jackson hasn't sent a group email for two weeks. But, he did send his mama an email yesterday. I thought I would share it so that there is some kind of update:
The pictures are from a zone conference that they had last week. The mission has a blog, which is super helpful because we get to see pictures of my boy!
Hey ma! Sorry for the late email, we are traveling once
again today so that is why i am a little late.
Good week this week, sorta. I got sick with a form of strep
throat and that sucked. We had to call a doctor and he was awesome. Sent me a
prescription the day of and I was good after that. but other than that it was a
really good week. Productive and efficient. The funniest thing that happened
this week was a member was walking by with his mom ( hes a 40 year old man) and
said hi to us while raising his beer in the air like it was some kind of
victors trophy. Why he did that, no idea but hey we do what we can do sometimes
I guess. Something that I am just kind of through with is how we are treated as
missionaries. The mission is tough stuff, a lot of people go home because they
aren't comfortable with how we are treated. They say we are representatives of Jesus
Christ, then why does everyone, including members, treat us like we are just
messing around all the time and that we don't know what we are doing? I'm not
sure but I find myself angry a lot because would they treat Jesus Christ like
that? I'm not saying I'm Jesus but I share the same thing that Jesus offers and
it kind of sucks sometimes to be treated like dirt every once in a while.
My two favorite parts of the week were my companion and I
organized an activity for the ward and we watched the new Aladdin! Pretty
emotional stuff, almost cried like a baby..but that's not important. Carry on.
The second favorite part of the week was yesterday actually.
I was talking to a return missionary and we basically had a mini testimony
meeting inside the office and just about everyone started tearing up or crying
but it was really powerful to hear what goes on during a mission. The sister
lost her mom while she was on the mission and now she just has her siblings but
it was really tough for her and now she is getting married in December to a guy
that she met in the mission and she said that miracles happen but we are the
ones that have to be worthy to recieve the miracles. Really an awesome time!
Love ya tons ma, I'm not going to be able to call today but
ill try for next week.
