Carnaval Week - 8 Feb 2016

This week went by so fast. We traveled to João Pessoa again for another mission council which was good. I was so tired though so that wasn´t fun. But the training was all about having a positive attitude and other things that I just felt like I especially needed. I feel so lucky to be apart of the mission council. Not because of the leadership position I have but more because of all the things I get to learn through the experiences of the other missionaries. 
This week was another week of contacting every. single. day. Wow. Sometimes it gets really old to have people slam doors in your face, but other times it just gets funnier and funnier. One man told us that he doesn´t need God because he has beer. #great 
This is the week of Carnaval. So just imagine everyone in the streets drinking and listening to music that blows out your ear drums. Then imagine trying to preach repentance to all of them. Luckily Carnaval isn´t really big here, basically every leaves for other places like Rio, São  Paulo, Baía. Which is also a blessing, so we work normal hours during this time unlike other missions. 
The sun is getting strong and strong and I am getting blacker and blacker hahaha. But really it doesn´t matter how tan I get, everyone still calls me galega. hahaha white girl. 
Well, I love you all so much. I found a cool scripture in D&C 136: 28-29. Will use this for my life. 

I love you all. 

have a great week!

Sick Days - 30 May 2016

Well apparently I can´t leave Brasil without a few more sick days. hahaha So this week was great and rough.  I started to feel really sick Tuesday night but nope we have to keep working. Of course it started raining so my cold got a little worse. But Wednesday I was pratically sleeping during all the lessons and just not feeling well. Thursday morning we had surprise interviews with Presidente and he just said, ´´is there anything i can do for you other then send you to the hospital?´´ So he sent me to the hospital. The hospital is always a great experience because i really don´t understand medical terms in English so in Portuguese its just funny. But my companion helped me alot. I ended up getting an MRI to look at my sinuses and my lungs and the conclusion of the story is that i had a really bad sinus infection.  I was given a bunch of medicine and set to bed rest. Two days in the house feel like an eternity. I was dying to leave so Saturday and Sunday everything was b...

Almost Forgot - 16 May 2016

Wow I almost logged off without sending anything. Sorry! This week has been good. A little frustrating. I feel like I relate really well to the stories Daniel tells about running to church late with no investigators. There isn´t anything more frustrating. But I know that the lord is testing everything that i have learning the the past few months to see if i can apply everything that i have learned. and it is hard, but i know it will all be worth it.  i love you all hugs!! sister jacobson

Transfers Again - 25 Jan 2016

Well I will be staying here in Guarabira one more transfer with my comp Sister Lins. I am happy and at the same time I am just praying to believe there exist people in this little city that I haven´t talked to. But Presidente has given me a bit of advice about what to do in the area to help them grow and the member stay strong, so I am excited that he trusts me enough to get this work done.  We had a great week. The only thing really was hard this week was all the rain, again. It has just been gloomy gloomy gloomy and as much as the sun is hot, I LOVE IT. I am sooooo much happier with sun. I will be burned to a crisp, yes, but i am happy. And when I am happy we work harder. This week also I think just because I hit my one year mark, my body knows, just knows it will have the chance to rest a bit soon. Just like Sunday nights, my body always knows that tomorrow is Pday! So I have been feeling all sorts of aches and pains that I didnt know existed, but its all apart of getti...
