Dear family,
I want you to know that you are all in my prayers and in the prayers of my companion, Sister Pajares. This week has been great. I love you all. I want to share my testimony with you that I know that this church is true. I know that the gospel is true. I know that if we work diligently and have faith, the Lord can work miracles in our lives and in the lives of those we serve. Many times, it won't be in the first attempt, nor in the second. Every time we fall short or things don't go exactly as we would have liked, we need to see if what we are doing is what the Lord would have us do, and what we can improve. There are always things that we can improve, and we have to trust that the Lord will answer our prayers and help us to achieve what we want. That is probably the most valuable thing that i've learned (or started to learn) here. Many times we fast and pray fervently for people, but that doesn't mean that they come to church or that they keep their commitments. I tend to be rather prone to hopelessness, but I truly believe that the Lord can work miracles. I know he can. And if he can, we just have to do our part. If it didn't work last week, what do we need to change this week? Think about it. I know that the Atonement is real. I've felt it change me and heal me, and I know that that can be a reality for each and every one of us, because we are God's children and he wants the best for us. He wants us to become like Him. Have faith. :)
Con muchísimo amor,
Hermana Jackson
