Jackie Dean was BAPTIZED!!

THIS IS A MAJOR HIGHLIGHT. 

This is sincerely one of the BEST days of my mission!

I got to go home to Lake Michigan for Jackie's Baptism!! 

(I'm so grateful for Sister Ross in the ward that was able to take us!)

I've never been so emotional at a baptism.

It was such a happy reunion seeing The Cooks ("My cousins"- the ward mission leader's family), my Lake Michigan friends, & Sister Zebley again!! Jackie had requested that Sister Zebley and I sing at the Baptism- It was so fun to instantly reconnect with Sister Zebley and to look down and see Jackie and Jessie crying. Their Mom and Step-Dad were there- Jessie (who didn't have any support at her baptism) has been such a strong young woman, her talk and testimony of baptism and what it has meant to her in her life was so powerful. & to watch Jackie be baptized! It was all one of the most spiritual experiences of my mission!!  It felt like a dream. Although I had pictured being at her baptism while teaching my sweet friend, I never pictured being lucky enough to attend after leaving the Lake Michigan ward. AH! Why does Heavenly Father love His children SO much?!
