Jorgensen Family

I'm not sure what I envisioned Jackson's family being like.

I knew he'd be a great husband and an incredible daddy.

I knew he'd love and respect his wife.

I knew he'd love his babies.

But, I had no idea how incredible his family would be.

Isis is beautiful, strong, independent, loyal, and the most amazing mommy.

She graduates in October.

She is smart and hard-working.

She is just the most amazing blessing.

Kehlani is feisty, smart as heck, beautiful, independent, vocal, sassy, and pure joy.

She is two.

And, she is ALL TWO.

Little Lady knows what she wants!

She is the most unending amount of love there is.

I am so grateful for this family of mine.

I am so proud of Jackson and the man he is.

Missionary Moment - Puerto Rico San Juan & Dominican Republic Santo Domingo West

Good morning all!

Well.. that's a wrap here in Hatillo and can I just say Hallelujah!

I don't think I've had a tougher transfer until this past one. I'll stop getting into details but all in all if comes down to much needed change!

One thing I learned however is that no matter how difficult this area is I saw tons of change for the better!

Some of these included a woman named Rosanna not coming to church for weeks finally made the commitment and followed through coming to church (less actives member), I also met another less active member on Saturday for the first time on the 12 weeks I've been here named Yajaira (she goes by Madelin) and the next day we got her to church and the members loved seeing her come back! Marcalles baptism and testimony was also a highlight I'll never forget!

Being with a branch president for months was a bit tough but now we have one and work is being done like new callings and other being set apart to hold the priesthood.

The stake is also being very supportive with our little branch, teaching missionary work, and how to work with us as missionaries better. I think at the least thi area for the first time in a while is heading in a good positive direction.

My new area however will be Elder Townsends area before he arrived in Los Alcorizos with me, the area is called Hato Nuevo in Las Caobas and my new companion is (I think his name is) Elder Hype (don't quote me on that)

Pictures will be coming in next week with all those I'll miss!

Thank you all for the support and prayers.
