Training - 20 July 2015

Okay so this email might be really short. Our email time has been cut again and I have made a goal to write to Presidente first because I want him to know he can trust me in this area. Also I have a lot to talk with him about so sorry that took a while. 
This week has been full of ups and downs. My new companion is Sister Cole. She is cute. She served in Washington for two transfers before she came here so she has experience in the mission. This has proven to be a good thing and a bad thing because this is NOT the same mission. Things are so different here as she has said so she has taken some time to adjust, but I think things are great. It is different having an American companion and sometimes so stressful. I really have to focus on what people are saying because if I don´t understand, no one does at this point. But, it has been cool for me to see how much of the lessons and contacting I can do all by myself. 
This week we literally walked all over. This is another thing different for my companion. Hahaha cars. 
I had a cool experience with a member this week. I had an impression to write a letter to this young woman in our ward here and so I did. Later that week she wrote me back and expressed how I had been an answered prayer for her and that she was so grateful for the opportunity to meet me. Anyway, while i was reading this letter I had this overwhelming feeling of ´´This is why you are here`` In my setting apart blessing, Pres. said that I would be a strength and an example to all sisters, members and non members. So I just thought it was cool that I had the opportunity to see this fulfilled. 
We had interviews with Presidente. BEST THING OF MY LIFE. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH! He gave me a blessings all about my future family...what?? hahaha But its okay I will stay very focused for the next year. 
This week has been a growing experience for me as have all. Thank you for all your support and love. Seriously I could not do this without it. 
I am so grateful to be here. I love this opportunity. I love being a missionary and I never want this name tag to come off. Never. 

I love you all. Have a great week!

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 ...
