Consecrated Missionary - 13 June 2016

This week has been a growing experience for me. I have learned so much. We had a zone conference this week and we learned about how to be consecrated missionaries. (I am having a really hard time spelling in English so just ignore the mistakes). 
It was a really good conference for me because I have been trying so hard to not be  a ´´dying missionary´´ and it was an opportunity for me to see the things i need to do to be better. The Mission President´s wife spoke to me afterward to thank me for my service and to thank me for being a consecrated missionary. With these words i started to cry because these past weeks i have really been questioning if I have been doing everything I can. If I have done what the Lord sent me to do. I love my President and his wife.
We had a GREAT ward activity. It was a all you can eat ice cream night. It was crazy. We had so many less actives that participated and some investigators too. Wow it was crazy. I don´t even know how to describe it. Our ward mission leader here is crazy. I like him alot because he really does everything he can to help us missionaries. He is also very spiritual. His family is one of my favorites here. 
Unfortunately we are having a few dificulties finding people to teach, but this is the start of a new week and I am excited!
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...
