Just wanted to thank you for your wonderful emails. They
bring me so much comfort.
Every day I am being taught new things about myself and
about how the lords woks. It is so amazing to see how my mission plays out in
the next couple of weeks. My trainer goes home in two weeks which means I
am going to be in charge of Vila Maria. Scary thought! I feel so
inadequate.
But I have faith that the lord has called me here and that
he is going to provide a way for his work to be done. I know that he is helping
me every step of the way.
Every morning during companionship study I have the hardest
time getting the words to come out of my mouth. I never liked role playing very
much. its hard and awkward for me I don't know why. Every time I can never get
the words to come out, I feel frustrated and wonder why the words will not
come out in a clear manner. BUT then we go and teach an investigator, we start
with a pray and follow up, and when it is my turn to speak or when feel
prompted to speak, the words come out. They always do and the spirit is strong.
Every day I seem to forget that I am not here to teach but i am here to invite
the spirit so that it can teach. I have to always remember that god is going to
provide the way.
I have always loved 1 ne. 3;7
I used to read this scripture and know that god would
provide a way for me to speak but I have learned that that might not be the
case this scripture also means that God will provide a way for the people to
understand, understand through the spirit that the message is true and gain
the desire to follow Christ.
We are getting a new mission president in July. we just got
sent a picture in our weekly report. i'll see if I can send it to you
guys.
I love you all so much!!!!
love
Elder B. Jacobson
