Miracles Do Happen - 25 April 2016

This week we had a miracle happen. 
Our area is really difficult in regards to finding people to teach. So me and my companion have been choosing streets to do tracting, knocking on all the doors and stopping all people in the rua. Every night we pray about roads until we pick two of the same ones, and then all the next day we do everything to get into every house. Well last week we went to a road and only one old woman opened the door to let us in. She was really sweet, but really didn´t want to go to church or anything. So okay no problem and we left. 
Well after two weeks of pretty much the same thing, knocking on doors, not finding people to teach, we got a call from the Bishop. He had recieved a reference from a member in another ward. YAY!! REFERENCES ARE THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD. 
We practically went prancing and dancing until we got to the road. When we got to the road we stopped because it was a road that we had knocked on all the doors. But okay its a reference..keep going. Well we kept walking until we found the house. We stopped in amazement becuase it was the same house that we entered the week before. But only the grandmother was home. This time a young woman was home, Marina. She has a friend who told her about the church and she wants to be baptized. MIRACLE. She went to church with us this week, she read the Book of Mormon and she recieved an answer that it is all true. 
We really felt like Deus was trying to talk to us. To tell us that in that house there was a person ready for the gospel. It was amazing to feel that even after weeks of having nothing nothing nothing, God is watching our effects and will bless us in our obedience. This is the biggest lesson I am learning here in the mission field. 

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...
