Transfers - 18 April 2016

I will stay here in José Américo with Sister Silva. I am happy. I love this area. It is not the easiest place to be but I love the members and they are really starting to like us and that makes all the difference.
So this week the heavens have been falling. There is so much water everywhere that we are just soaking wet from head to toe all day. It is the closest I get to feeling cold. Its a nice feeling. hahahaha But its still like 76 degress when its ´´cold´´. 
This week was actually a really big learning experience. Me and my companion have been having a small problem with one of the other sisters we live with and we were getting really frustrated about some of her attitudes and they way she treated us. But we decided to just let it go and go to work. Well at first it was REALLY HARD! But little by little we were able to just work and forget about it. Well the best day was Sunday because we were able to just work and talk with some leaders about our feelings and they reassured us that we were not the only ones feeling that way. She will still be with us this transfer but I feel so much more at peace knowing that I just need to do my part and love her and the Lord will do the rest. 
Okay I will not lie, it is weird to think that I will recieve only one more transfer call! Its exciting and scary at the same time. But I will get to skpye in three weeks :) 

Well, I love you all. And it looks like i will be coming home to wedding parties and cake :) yay!

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...
