Mother,

Today, I am in Othello... however tomorrow, I will be in East Wenatchee. I will be there with a missionary who got here from the Portland mission. We will be taking the place of two other missionaries. I am super excited, I have never met my companion or been to the area so it will be a good surprise. I don't even know what to think, less I know what to say. It will definitely help me focus unto the end. It's going to be a really awesome challenge. Just the two sisters Hermana Lopez and Hermana Jurado will be going hme from the mission. Hermana Jurado came to Othello at the same time that I did so we had some good memories here.So yeah, everything will be new to us, it's going to be super crazy, but we are going to see a ton of miracles, I am a believer. The area has been struggling for a long time there, so I am excited to go with my new companion and help turn it around.I suppose next week I will have more things to say because I'll have the new info of my new area. Glad to hear that you had a really bomb Easter, hopefully everything went well. You know I was thinking, that when I left you said you wanted to paint my room and take the gum wrappers off the wall and I told you not to, but if you want to you can. (It is a good thing he gave me permission since I did it months ago maybe even a year ago, Lol!). Just take a few pictures or something first. I can't go back to the same room that I had back in the day because I'm not the same, I need a fresh room to start from scratch if you know what I mean. So feel free to paint. One thing I figured that i would tell you is that I know you stress out a lot about your children, especially when they aren't doing the right things, and I imagine that you can stress a bit about the future of your children, and their spiritual well being. So I just wanted to let you relax. On the mission I've realized that church is life. It's a way of life, and there is no way that I could ever go inactive. It's so perfectly organized that if you magnify your calling, do the little things, and always turn to the Lord that you will be able to overcome anything. So i just want to put your mind at peace letting you know that I am converted to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and that I look forward to being a faithful member of His church, magnifying my calling no matter in what capacity. And when stiff trials come i know where to turn first.I love you mom, thanks for your example, don't worry about me. I know that Jesus Christ is the Savior and that this is His church. I have become converted even to the organization of His church, everything is just so perfect, if only everybody would magnify their callings everything would go so well....I will do my part.-Elder Jacobson

Dad,

You can officially change the color of the stickers tomorrow, for I will be in East Wenatchee, also known as my burial place. I've never been to the area or anywhere around it so it's going to be a sweet new challenge. My companion is new to our mission but has about a year out. I'll give you more details on that when I get them. We are "sweeping" the area, for both of us will be new to the area. Glad to hear that you had a good Easter, and that you even got involved in searching for some Easter eggs. I didn't even realize that I was the only white guy in that house, now that I think about it I've been the only white guy around for quite a long time. I hadn't even realized it. Except for when I get the racial comments. White people and culture get made fun of a lot actually, mostly cause our culture is semi boring, and our food is hated on. Not like I can stand up for myself when i like their food and culture more, doesn't mean that ours sucks or anything, but being the only white person i just humbly submit myself to their attacks. The two sisters that left yesterday, Lopez lives in Ogden and Jurado lives in West Valley. Both are from Mexico but came here later. It was pretty crazy to see people leave as it has been since February 2009 that I actually saw someone I was close to leave. Pretty crazy. So I'm excited to be going to a new area, it will be just want I need to finish fast and strong, and I know that it will produce Miracles. Well, God will, we'll just see them. Love you dad, stay out of trouble-
