Hello Everyone,
This has been a very interesting week.
First i want to tell you about a very cool investigator we
have. His name in Antoinio. we found him 5 days ago and taught him the first
lesson and gave him a Book of Mormon. He was very excited about it and said
that he would read and pray to know that it was true. We felt a prompting to
come to church when he knew that our message was true. He said 'When i know its
true ill come to your church"
We talked with a member, to see if he knew Antonio.
they live two houses away from each other. He said he did. so we asked O. if he could help us fellowship him. He was happy to do so. Yesterday Antonio
came to church with the help of Orlando. And tonight we are going to teach a
lessons at O. house with Antonio and watch the Restoration video.
It is great to see what can happen when the members and
missionaries work together.
I have one other story for you all,
We got a call from our Ward mission leader at 3 in the
morning from Edson, our ward mission leader. my companion was telling me to get
up we had to go but he did not tell me why. we met our ward mission leader
outside of our apartment and he asked if i had oil. I did only because i leave
it on our house key chain. at that point i knew we were going to give a
blessing but i did not know what for. we drove four blocks or so from our house
and edson parked the car on the side of the road next to the only house that
had lights on.
when i got out i heard a woman yelling something over and
over again but i did not understand what. To be honest i thought she was having
a baby.
When we walked into the house i saw the woman laying on the
bed kicking and screaming. two men we trying to hold her down. she was
spitting and shaking. So you know how in the scriptures how you
always read about how Jesus was always casting out devils. A few days before
this i was thinking about how i had never seen a person that had a
``devil`` in them. i guess there's a first time for everything. Edsom had to
hold her head down so we could bless her. Elder Costa did the oil and I did the
blessing. ALL i could say was feel the love the savior has for you and to be at
peace. We left the room, she struggled a little more but 3 min. after the
blessing she stopped screaming. I could hear nothing from inside the room and
as far as I know she was fine after that moment.
Never did I think I would witness something like that in my
life. The power that Jesus Christ has is real and it continues to work through
his priesthood. I know that through Christ we can perform miracles on
this earth through our faith. The power of God is real. I know that we truly
can do all things through it. Always have the faith that everything is possible
to those that believe.
I love you all so much!! have a great week.
LOVE,
Elder B. Jacobson
