Jackie is Baptized!



Our newest investigator, Jackie Jamieson, was baptized September 7.  We were privileged to take her and the Elders to see the church history sites in Palmyra. Sister Jamieson’s son Clarence became acquainted with Elder Wood in their home ward on the Salt River Reservation.  Clarence learned Elder Wood was coming to Cattaraugus and asked him to find and teach his mother.  Sister Jamieson lives with four other children and three grandchildren in a mobile home on the Rez.  She has many relatives and friends on the Rez but none except Clarence is interested in the church.  Sister Jamieson traveled to Arizona last year and visited with Clarence and his wife and children.  The spirit touched her strongly as she visited the Mesa Temple with them and she realized she had to change her life.  We have been inspired by her strength and determination. The family is already being blessed because of her decision.  Sister Jamieson was taught the lessons in our apartment. Clarence was able to fly home and baptize and confirm his mother.  Jackie has so much influence on so many here.  Our love and prayers are with her as she makes these major changes.
