President Jacobsen for President!

Hello all! Transfer calls are tonight, so hopefully I will stay here in K-zoo! 

Monday we had a great Zone P-day.  It was fun! I love it when a bunch of missionaries get together, missionaries are the best!! 

Tuesday was AMAZING!! We went to Lansing for  mission leadership conference and it was exactly what I needed.  I felt the spirit so strong and a lot of questions I had about being a missionary were answered.  Also, I got to see all my friends... yay friends!! 

Wednesday was good, we taught R and asked her to pray right then to know if what we are saying is true, and she said she feels it is partially true but she needs to know more,  I have learned we just have to wait for God's timing a lot! I felt the spirit strongly though.   We also had our last district meeting!  Also Sister A and I had a cool experience that night,  we had just got done planning and I had the impression we should fast the next day and I didn't say anything until we got in bed and turned out the lights and I asked her how she felt about fasting and she said she got the exact same impression... UNITY!! 

Thursday we fasted!! Fasting really does open your eyes to miracles,  we were a lot more bold in lessons and in finding and though we didn't see any huge miracles, we still were a lot more in tune with the spirit and picked up some new investigators.  Also we had a meeting at the stake and they asked us to share missionary experiences and I told that one, and someone else told one about how they felt prompted to serve someone and someone got baptized out it and one of the stake guys was like, even though these two stories had different results, they both did the same thing, following promptings.  That was just what I needed to hear, because that is what missionary work is all about.

Friday we taught somebody we met Thursday and he told us he'd come to church...even though he didn't end up coming it still was cool.  

Saturday we went to the temple!! So fun! I love the temple! Especially the Chicago temple!! It was so fun to go with the other Sisters we had a great time!!

Sunday we taught relief society which actually went pretty well for us finding out at 9pm the night before we have to teach.  So yeah, that was good, also any day you take the sacrament is awesome!  Also we stopped by a less active we've been trying to talk to and she was home!! Yay! We are going to try to do some service for her.

Well that is about all, I love this work even though sometimes it is really hard.  I wouldn't trade the past 14 months for anything.  

Fun fact:  President Jacobsen is the coolest, he told us he tried to get permission for us to go to the BYU vs MSU game and got denied... he is the best!  He really has helped me know how to work hard and do my best!!
