Three Months a Missionary - 20 April 2015

Wow it has been three months. Part of me can´t believe it!! 
So yes, me and my companion are both in Ipês. I do like it. I have had a little bit of a hard time adjusting, fighting a silent battle inside because I miss that place so much. It´s hard because we can literally see Tambaú from our window of our new house. But, we are still in the same stake so I have seen a few of my favorite members. The Stake President saw me yesterday and told me that everyone misses me and is not happy I had to leave. Haha that made me feel good. 
Our first day was a little crazy. The previous Sisters didn´t update their area book and we didn´t have a map or a ward directory so we were very very lost. It was little stressful. Or alot of stressful. But we somehow found the Relief Society President´s house so that was a miracle. She helped us alot. 
We found these two sweet girls, Ingrid and Kimberly, 13 and 12. They already came to church with us yesterday and want to get baptized. They love the Book of Mormon and love to have us come visit. They are the best. 
We have alot of young women that come teach with us which is great. 
My Portuguese is still just terrible. Tomorrow I have an interview with President and I am going to ask for a blessing. 
The best part of the week for me was during a personal study. The April Ensign is amazing!! I have been studying the article about weakness all week. If you haven´t read it, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!! 

Well, I love you all so much. 
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 ...
