Hello Family!! - 23 March 2015

This week has been great. It rained and rained and rained and I was never dry, but it was just so funny. The roads were all flooded and it smelled terrible, but I loved it. My umbrella is very practical for carrying around and packing, but not so much when it is raining because it is so small, but even with a bigger umbrella I still ended up soaked for head to foot. But, the work must go on!
This week we taught a woman that we met last week named Rosita. I LOVE HER. She is so cute and has a son named Teus (God is greek) and her husband. She has been searching for the truth and has been so confused by the different religions so she was just soaking up everything we said. She is coming to church with us next Sunday with her family! 
We taught Barbara again this week and she is just an angel. She had a dream about God and angels the other night. She loves when we come over and her daughter is so cute too. She has special needs and usually don´t like new people, but with us she tries to sit on our laps and we have to kindly keep her from doing that. hahaha it´s funny. 
This week I also tried some Brazilian treats. Acai is good. Everyone really talked so highly about it that I expected more, but it was good. Basically just frozen fruit. I also had coconut water straight from a coconut. YUCK. I HATED IT. It tasted like sour milk. Everyone laughs when I say i hate it because everyone here loves it. bleeeh!
Well sorry my email is so short. I only have 40 mins to email. Sorry that i can´t respond to all of your emails! But, thank you for sending them. I take pictures of them and read them later. I love you all!!

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

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...
