Hey everyone! so I guess this is my last email from Provo! umm i dont have to much time but this week has been great! Im so excited to get out to Australia and serve. This last week at the MTC has really been amazing for me. With the member of the Quorum of the Twelve (Elder Neil L. Anderson) coming on Tuesday night it was just a great end for me. The things that he said about Sacrifice, Opposition, Adversary, and Deliverance really stuck out to me. I loved how he talked about how we all make sacrifices in this life but we get so much more from God. I have definitely seen that in my life these past 2 months. I think of all the things the Lord has blessed me with while I've been here. Over the 2 month stay at the MTC I've been able to read the entire standard works as well as 3 of the 4 books in the missionary library and I'm close on Jesus the Christ. What a blessing that has been in my life. It is something I would have never thought about doing unless I had come here, and coming here was a sacrifice. So I truly have seen the blessings already.
Another thing that the MTC has taught me is just a love for everyone. I've become so close with everyone in my district that it'll be weird to move on. Though it'll be different I know that the Lord has people in place in Australia for me to meet and that will be an amazing experience.
So I'm actually really close on that whole like 50lb weight rule, so we'll see how that goes... like 49 hopefully. But don't worry I can leave the airport workers my robe if needs be so it'll all be ok!
I was actually quite sad that there wasn't any snow this morning when I woke up because it will be a little while before I see snow again... But I hear that it'll be really cold Wednesday so kinda sounds ruff for all your north hemisphere guys;)
Love Elder Jackson
Also sorry I don't have any pics I've already packed my camera.
