oi Familia!!!!!
This has been another great week on the mission. Full of
many great learning moments. This week I went on splits with Elder Merker. Haha
he is a great missionary. We spent one day in my area going through the
appointments that we had. We had two great lessons that day. One to Wesely, we
talked to him about the Book of Mormon. He thinks it all makes sense and he
feels good when he reads it. We are going to get him to come to church next
week. And then we taught a little boy named Ozmor. He is EIGHT years old and
wants to be baptized. When Elder Merker and I went to teach him, he said that when
he read and prayed about the Book of Mormon he felt good and that he knew that
baptism was the right thing for him to do!!!!!!!! It is such a strength to my
own testimony when I see an 8 year old read and gain a testimony of the gospel
of Jesus Christ. He truly has been prepared by the Lord.
Last Thursday we had our first zone conference. All of the
missionaries met in a church building about 40 minutes away by bus. I don't really
know where it was. We were instructed by President Martins about how to be
better missionaries. It was all in Portuguese so I didn't really get a lot out of
it but I did feel the spirit comfort me and I learned once again that I am in
the Lords hands. I am looking back on some of the trials that I have had in the
past and I am seeing now how some of them have prepared me for the trials God
knew I would go through here. He is so aware of me I can not tell you the
number of times I have felt the comfort of the Holy Ghost telling me that
everything will be okay. And it will because God has a plan for me and he will
help mr fulfill that plan.
Friday night the ward had a ward party!!! It was a great
chance to get to meet some of the members of the ward. It was supposed to be a
huge missionary effort but only one nonmember was at the party. haha o well, we
got her address and are going to talk to her this week.
Saturday morning, Elder Ahmed and I had the opportunity to
go to a convention of non profitable organizations. The Mormon Helping Hands
had a huge booth set up and I got to go and talk about what Mormon helping
hands was. Hahah it was realy cool. I might show up in the Ensign here.
Sunday we had lunch at a really rich members house. HUGE
HOUSE. There was so much food holy cow . But it was an exciting lunch
because a huge family fight broke out. I didn't understand what they were
yelling about so I just kept eating and trying not to laugh to hard. One of
these days ill get it.
I have been watching the district this week and as I have I
have found a new excitement to learn the language faster and apply what they do
to my mission. I know that god is on my side and with Him, I will be a great
missionary.
Thank you all for your support. I love you so
much!!!!!!!!
Talk to you next week,
Elder Jacobson
