She did receive her endowment in the Boise Temple
in November, then spent the first half of December 2008 in Minnesota
visiting with siblings, nieces and nephews. Because of being away from
Boise for three weeks before going to the MTC, she preferred to be set
apart in Minnesota. So the arrangements were made to have her
membership record in the Bloomington Ward, where she grew up and where
her brother Jansen and his family now live. That way she could be set
apart by the Burnsville Stake president, President Rob Payne who has
been a friend of the family for 20 years. Jackie's parents and most of
her siblings and their families were present on December the 14th at
President Payne's home for the setting apart. President Payne gave her
a very nice blessing, that she would love the people, and even the food
in the Philippines.
John took Jackie to the airport and filmed her in the security line.
Though the consensus is that it's a really boring video, you may enjoy
