Sister Jessie's Mission

FAM!

I love hearing all that you are doing and the amazing things that you are accomplishing.  It makes me so happy! Well, many things happened this week.  I will tell you many things in detail when we talk NEXT SUNDAY! Crazy how quick it is coming.  I don’t even want to think about that! Man, but I will just tell you a little miracle that happened this week . . .

We went to visit a very poor family who is planning on going to the temple this July.  As we were setting goals for them in order to get there the mother began to cry and said that their major goal as a family is to get his son, Luis, back on the path because years ago he made a majorly bad decision that has determined his life direction now.  Since then he has not come back to church. So, as hard as it was to call him out of his room he came out and resisted a lot but we planned a visit with him the next day.  As we sat there getting to know him and asking questions we had the feeling to talk about the atonement of Jesus Christ and he began to cry telling us that he KNOWS that he has made many bad decision in his life and he wants to CHANGE.  There was such an amazing spirit in that lesson. This Sunday we were sitting in the back and his family was sitting in the front.  He walked in for the first time in five years and everyone saw him and not the family. But his little sister got up to give her testimony and as she looked around at the congregation she just stopped talking, staring at her brother, looking shocked. I will never forget that experience! The power of the atonement is amazing!

I have been traveling a lot lately in order to do divisions with the sisters.  I have seen so many humble homes and humble people willing to change and ACCEPT the atonement of Jesus Christ. These people here are unbelievable. They are not focused on the material, they are naturally focusing on the spiritual always! They are such amazing examples to me and I feel so blessed to be in the midst of these people who teach me so much each day!

Thank you so much for all that you do for me and the support that you are each are in my life. I couldn’t do this without you! I love you so much. Each day REMEMBER the atonement of Jesus Christ! I will SEE you this Sunday!

Love, Jess
