Be bold with Love

MOM! 

This week was a good one! No Elder Jackson and i are staying in Pine Bluff one more baby! It is gonna get wild up in here. 

We went on exchanges with the spanish elders in our zone, it is funny cause they never teach in english so they struggle when they come with us. So here is a good story while i was on exchanges. I was with the spanish Elder Geddes, he has been out for 5 weeks, just brand spankin! We went to our investigators house, her name is Ada Harris. So i was planning on going in there and trying to get her to commit to come to church. Somehow we got off on the subject of keeping the commandments, i asked her if she felt that she was pleasing God with her actions... good question to get them thinking. I then got it out of her that she was sleeping with her boyfriend. That is usually a typical case and i taught her about why that is wrong. Then she hit me with a surprise... she said that her "boyfriend" is married to another woman. I just sat there like oh crap here it goes. One thing that i learned on my mission is to be bold with love! Elder Geddes had know idea what to say so i just started to be bold and telling her that she was breaking a commandment of God and that God is not happy with her decisions. I said some other things that might have been straight a throw down! But it was the Spirit so thats ok! Haha but i committed her to stop. After the lesson, Elder Geddes said, Holy Crap how did you do that ? haha he was like you were pretty bold there and she didn't even get mad! I had no idea how i did it, i knew it was the spirit. Hopefully she really understood what it was teaching her. It was soo funny though, Greeny Problems!

Things  are going good and i am excited for the new transfer that is coming up! We are looking good for baptisms in November. We are praying and sacrificing a lot for these baptisms. We are even starting to cut our pday short and start working early so that we will have the help of the lord in hitting our goals. Sacrifice! Thanks for the package and yes it was the right shirt. I also got a package from Wendy Wilcox which was so awesome! 

HAve a great week and know that i love you!
