Interesting Week - 4 May 2015



Hi Family,

So this week. This week was a little interesting. We had a really hard time this week with focus I feel like. My companion is so trunky. She says she isn´t, but in my opinion when you talk about home all the time and dream about it, and tell everyone you are leaving in 8 weeks.....trunky. So that has been a little hard on my to stay excited about being here. I have been trying to take the lead in the things I can, but Portuguese is a huge barrier for this. But we have set some goals to help her, which will in turn help me.
I am starting to really love this área. The Ward is a little harder to get to know than Tambaú, but they are really starting to trust us with their referencias and friends.
We had a wonderful lesson with this Young woman named Eduarda. After we finished teaching her for the first time, she said the closing prayer and WOW!!! The spirit was so Strong. She was in tears, I was in tears, and she wants to be batized! It was the greatest feeling!!
We had a baptism this week, Severino. He is a funny old man. When we taught him, he could never remember anything we had said the next day. So we were really worried about the Baptism interview because literally he couldn´t remember a single thing. But it was a miracle, because during the interview, the Elder said he remember everything. Also he stop smoking and drinking coffee in one day! MIRACLE!
So honestly I don´t know what is happening with Skype. My companion hasn´t really explained it to me and I don´t think I remember my Skype password. But she is planning on skyping her Family at 4 our time so around then I should be able to call. I am so excited!!
I love you all so so much!!!

Love, Sister Jacobson

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...
