Miracle Baptism - 31 Aug 2015

This week was wonderful! We had a miracle baptism. We had a challenge from the assistants and the LZs to mark a baptism for this week and we found a girl already prepared to be baptized that had already been to church. It was amazing. 
I worked a little in a different area for divisions. It really helped me to see that I am were I am supossed to be with who I am supposed to be. 
We are having difficulties getting our ward to participate in the missionary work. Literally I never knew how much the members need to help the missionaries or nothing gets done. NOTHING. We can have all the baptisms we want, but if the members don´t help support these new members, they leave the church faster than they came. 
I am still in shock that the boys are home. Everyone keeps talking to me about it. Good luck with school Andrew. You will love byu! Bryan when do you start SVU? Daniel I really hope you start to feel better and I am so jealous I wasn´t there for your temple trip but tudo bem. 
I love you all. Again, sorry its short!

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...
