well
fun fact Sunday i gave a talk in sacrament meeting in Spanish........
it was 10 minutes long on the attributes of Christ and how we can
develop them. and i don't mean to pat myself on the back but it was
pretty darn good haha
and people here are pretty open but one crazy thing here is that we have to clap at doors its rude to knock. crazy....
Branch President is the man with the fantastic stash. The Hispanic Traci Nyborg is next to him.

hey
so yes i have gotten 2 of your letters and its pretty safe en Argentina
ahora for mail. hey if your sending a care package will you please send
me my towrs cd i showed my pres them and he said they are totally good.
hoot should know where it is i think its in the truck with my kid ink
cd. gracias. and yeas i did receive a package from the birds in the ccm
but i sent them a cute missionary thank you card!!! plz tell them thx
for me !
so this week has been
great and disappointing and a blessing all at the same time. so it was disappointing because we had a splash in our area which is when all the missionary's in our district get together and contact for like 3 hrs. so
at the end of it we have like 20 people with baptism dates but as we
have visited them nobody is interested!!!!!! AHHHHHHH but its ok because yesterday my compi and i were walking and had an impression to
contact a house and literally we found the most amazing people one kid
named kevin hes 10 and his mom amilia. she let us in and we shared a
quick message with them and she started to cry. we asked why are you
crying and she said she has been searching for a true church her entire
life....... the spirit was so strong!!!!!!! it was amazing AL AGUA MAMA Y
HIJO!!!! thats like our districts saying it means like get in the water
haha and out of all the blessing this week this one is my favorite. so
today we were playing soccer with all the elders in my district and
of course im a goaley because in the words of my mother "u suck at
everything" ;) no but seriously im terrible to im playing keeper and i
go for the ball and this one elder goes to SLAM the ball into the net
and instead of hitting the ball he hit my hand. i heard a bunch of
cracks and just felt PAIN!!!! i walk off and take a look at my hand and 3
of my fingers were not where they were supposed to be like broken bad i couldn't even bend them.... so im like well crap off to the Argentinian
ER this is gonna be fun then i just had this little impression to say a
quick prayer in my heart. so i do it and when i opened my eyes to check
out my hand again i literally watched my fingers move back into
place....... i went from i cant move my hand and focus because of the
pain to jumping right back into the game with a little pain in my hand.
its amazing how heavenly father watches over us especially the missionary's. if ive learned one thing its that the power of faith is
second to none and with god totos es posiblé
i love you all so much and pray for you all the time. thank you for your prayers and all that you've done for me!!!!
Love, Elder Jackson
