Title Explanation - 5 Oct 2015

Family!

Okay so i gave my last email a clever title but then i forgot to explain. So here i am in the middle of no where. the middle of no where. So the people are very humble very humble and so we they make everything they can for our lunches. which includes all kinds of creepy crawling things. Oh I just don´t like to think about it. 
Some sad news. I lost all my pictures and videos from my mission because someone stole my memory card from the computer. Oh I am really sad. I have some great treasures. I just hope this persons has a change of heart and decides to become an honest man. But until then, I am pictureless and heart broken. But all is well in Zion.
This week was a week of miracles. I had my first conference with President and all the Zone leaders for our new callings. It was great and very inspiring. I am one of 4 Sister Training Leaders. I love President so much. I read a talk the other day that said we are called to mission presidents, not only to missions. I know that this is true. I am so grateful for him. 
So this week was a little crazy. Our area is so big and I am just so lost still. It is ridiculous. But its okay. 
This week I learned the really meaning of putting your trust in God. So this week, my companion asked me if we had enough faith to have a baptism this week. (this was thursday night). I remember standing there thinking in my head about the logicists and if logically we could have a baptism. Logically i remember thinking no, but I looked at her and said, YES YES WE DO. The next day we left the house with that attitude. To find our miracle baptism. And the Lord provided. We found Layla a girl that had been to church many times and has members of family that are members. We taught her and invited her to be baptized and she accepted annnndd she accepted to be interviewed that night. She was so excited and her family was so open to the idea. Now we are working with her family. THE LORD PROVIDES THE WAY. WE JUST NEED TO TRUST HIM HAVING NO DOUBTS. No. Not one.
Conference was great. I watched it in Portuguese so that was a little different, but the spirit definitely helped me alot. But I will be excited to read them in English. hahaha.
Well I love you all so very  much. I hope you are all doing well. I pray for you often. 
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...
