The Lord is Bound - 27 July 2015

Family!

This week has been the best thing ever. So we started the week with zero investigators and really no direction other than a member menos ativos list. So we started there. Contacting all the menos ativos we could and first miracle. We found 8 new investigators because of this list. 
MIracle two. Our STL challenged us to stop 5 men in the road which usually is not hard at all, but for some reason on this day, we saw only 5 men. THE ENTIRE DAY! So of course, we stopped all of them. The last one was our miralce. His name is João Pedro and he is amazing. He is actually married like legally which is a miracle in and of itself. We met his family and taught the first lesson and the spirit was so strong. Me and my companion are still struggling with the language at times, but this lesson was amazing. They all accepted baptism and all wanted to go to church. We brought the bishop with us to meet them the next day and they LOVED him. They LOVED church and couldn´t stop talking about how the teachers were ``super``! It was so cute. 
I learned that this week, when we literally do everything in our power to do our part, the Lord is bound to do His part. I am so grateful for Him.

Me and my companion finally broke the ice and we are great friends! We are working really hard together and I am just in heaven! 

I love you all! Sorry no pictures this week. 

i love you!!!

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...
