Week #41 Another Day in Paradise

Hello Everyone Back Home!!

This week has been a really stressful week.  We found out the other day that Elders Dueñas and Hawkins were being kicked out of their house because the contract was ending, so we went to go help them clean and pack and all.  Then, on move day, we found out that they would be moving in with us! haha So we basically spent the day doing all of that kind of stuff.  We now have 6 people in a house for 4 again.  It`s okay..just a little hard to focus at times...during studies to be more exact.  

We had Stake and Zone conference this week....it was really cool to get to listen to new leaders since I`m in a new zone.  It kinda sucked that I didn`t know anybody, but hey...it`s part of being the new guy.  :)  It was all fun though.  For pday this week, we went to the temple.  Like always, it was simply amazing...a great spiritual experience and opportunity for service.  Then we ate at Popeye`s! :D

The work is a little bit slow in the new sector with all of the stuff going on with the Copa America and reunions and things like that, but I figure things will be normal soon.  :)

I just

wanted to share my testimony of leadership positions in life.  Husbands, bishops, sports captains, team captains, whatever leadership position that you can think of.  The point of it isn`t always because you are better, the best, or anything like that, but that it is an opportunity to help you grow personally and to help those below your authority to do the same.  I just want to share my testimony that at times that can be really frustrating and difficult, but if we go to the Lord in prayer and ask him for his guidence, we can`t go wrong.  Always seek the Lord with your might, mind, and soul, and everything will be okay.  :) I testify of it, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Con amor,
Elder Jackson
