Miracles! - 6 April 2015

Ok the first thing that I have to tell you about is my experience at the dentist. You know how I feel about the dentist and you probably know how extremely terrified I was at the prospect of having to go here in Brazil.  I went on Friday to ask how much it would be and when they could do it and we decided to have the procedure done on Monday. So all weekend I was freaking out about it. Everytime I would think about going to the dentist, I would start trembling and come very close to tears. I prayed so hard all weekend that everything would be okay. My companion thought I was being a little ridiculous, because it was almost impossible for me to explain to her my past history of experiences with dentists. Well, Monday morning arrived and I  went into the office. They were preparing to do a root canal which was the expensive procedure. As  I laid on the chair, tears streaming done my cheeks before anything even started, I just kept singing  the words of ´´Be Still My Soul´´ in my head. The lady started with the numbing and I didn´t feel a thing. She started drilling and I didn ´t feel a thing. Usually even the sounds of the drills cause me to cringe, but I didn´t. She opened my tooth and discovered that it was just a cavitiy and a root canal was not necessary unless I felt pain. She fix my tooth and another one, both  caused by the previous dentist incorrectly ´´fixing´´ my teeth. It was done in less than 30 minutes and I felt amazing. And it wasn ´t as expensive as they thought it would be. IT WAS A MIRACLE!!! As soon as I got home, I knelt down and said a prayer of gratitude because in that moment, I knew that no matter how silly or dumb our fears and trials seem, God is always aware of us and He will answer sincere, humble pleads for help. 
Conference was amazing. I watched three sessions in English so I loved that and the one session in Portuguese was the most frustrating thing. Oh I need more patience. 
Transfers are next week so I won´t have p day until Wednesday. 
I love you all! Thank you for all your prayers and emails!! You have no idea how much it helps me keep going. 
I love you all and I love this gospel. I know it is true.     
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

Final Transfer - 23 May 2016

Well i recieved my final transfer call last night. It is official that i will die in José Américo 2 with my companion Sister Silva. I am happy. I reallly like this area. it is really hard but i love it. My companion is happy to stay with me, but at the same time she is really sad because she already has one year in the mission field and she is the junior companion. She feels like president has forgotten about her. So part of me feels really bad that she is companions with me, but at the same time I love her so it will be fun.  This week we spent a bit of time in the doctors. My companion was sick with a virius that I think I am coming down with too, but it passed really fast and we were still able to work so that is good.  We had a great week. We fasted almost every day to try and have more results in our area. It was a great feeling, but wow did we get hungry. hahaha. We have been working really hard with a family of less actives that are finally starting to come back to ...
