Hello family!!!
What a fast week. I cant believe I only have one more p-day
before this transfer is over!!! nuts. Have to admit I have been a little
frustrated this week because people are just not keeping commitments or just
don't want to hear the message of the restored gospel.
I remember early in the week we talked to this girl that was
next to one of our potential investigators. We clapped at here gate and talked
to here about the gospel of Jesus Christ and that God has a plan for us.
The entire time she seemed to be soaking it all in and
seemed very excited. We bore our testimonies that she could pray to God and
know that these things are true. she said she would and told us that she
thought that what we were doing was very special.
She even said that my accent was very pretty.
Man did she have us both fooled. We clapped at the next
house and tried to get in but after about 5 minutes of answering questions and
bearing testimony they denied our invitation. We turned to leave and saw the
gospel of Jesus Christ pamphlet on the ground crumpled up.
I know that these times o difficulty will be but a small
while and this week has been a great opportunity to take a step back and look
at what we are doing and what we need to do better. I have been reading Preach
my gospel and the White hand book to see what I can do to improve. I have found
somethings that I know I need to do better.
Thetas the thing about missionary work is that you can never
settle. you have to always be looking for things that you can do better. how
you can invite the spirit into the lessons better. I have been studding about
how I can better recognize and live worthy to have the spirit always in my
work. I know that as I do my very best to obey all the mission rules the lord
will bless us and we will be able to have a stronger spirit with us. For if you
have not the spirit you can not teach. Oh how true it is.
I am excited for this week to improve and learn more about
how I can be better.
I love you all so much. One thing that people don't seemed to
understand is how our church different, why it is important to do everything
with authority. IT is because the priesthood power that the church has is
the sealing power that binds every earthly thing to heaven. It is the only way
to make everything eternal. My mindset has finally changed. I am not here to
baptize people I am here to help them do the things that are going to last
throughout eternity. The things that everyone must do to receive eternal joy.
The same joy that I have because I know I have you all forever. Being away from
you is hard and I miss you so much but I know that we will be forever. that is
a blessing that not everyone has. And that is why I am here, to give these
people all that I have.
I love you all so much. Thank you for every prayer.
até o
próximo
Love Elder B. Jacobson
