Field Trip - 22 Feb 2016

This week went by really fast. So we had a field trip to Frei Damião on Monday. It is the 3rd tallest mountain in Brasil with a statue on the top. hahaha. So it was really beautiful. There was no one up at the top so it was peaceful and just reminded me how much I love to explore and be in nature. You can see all of the city from the top. 
We had interviews with Presidente also this week. It was okay. This transfer has honestly been one of the hardest on me physically. I am just exhausted, and because of that, it is really easy for me to start doubting my abilities. So I know that I start beating myself up for not doing everything exactly right the first time. So as usual when Presidente asks me how everything is going, I burst into tears. hahaha He probably thinks I am just always crying. But he gave me a great blessing which helped me fill a little weight taken off my shoulders. He also told me that I will be transfered in two weeks which filled me with such hope. I love this area, but I am so ready for some change. So ready. 
I have been noticing this week as well that things are so much harder when I try to do everything by myself. This is something that I try to do often. But when I put all my trust in the Lord, he is able to do mightier miracles than I. I just need to stay humble and let Him continue this work.
I love you all so much.
Love, Sister Jacobson

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...
