Going to feed the neighbors horse an apple.
The attempt to feed the horse was a fail👎🏼
Holding our recent converts new kittens.
Our adventure
This week was awesome! I have tons of time to practice my Spanish
because of how many Cinco de Mayo parties we had! 🎊🎉 So much
food.... 😳😁 It was a blast though! Everyone spoke Spanish at the
parties and Sister Wright and I just sat there and stared at them. We
had no what they were saying! My 7th grade Spanish helps me understand
a little bit, but I can't reply back soooo that's awkward!
This week we got visit quite a few people which was awesome! One of
our less actives is starting the 7 day quit program which is awesome!
One of our investigators is going to tell his parents that he wants to
be baptized this week! PLEASE PRAY FOR PAUL!!!!! We just had an
awesome week of getting into people's houses! It was a great change of
not getting into people's houses! My favorite lesson happened
yesterday! We had a nice chat with our neighbor's friend. He thought
we were the weirdest people ever! We showed him our missionary
handbook with all our rules as missionaries and he thought it was our
church's rule book! 😂😂😂😂 Well we answered a ton of his questions
about our church and helped him to realize that we are normal people
and not robots with a ton of rules! He also told us he might come to
church on Sunday! Baptism soon? I think yes!!!! 😜😊😂😁😎
On Saturday we had an awesome "Cinco de Mayo" party with a ton of
members! They had a slip n slide, but as missionaries we weren't aloud
to play on it. They also had water guns and balloons and a ton of
little kids! So you can probably guess what happened! Everyone thought
I was super quiet and awkward until after we ate! I ate a jalepeno to
prove that I wasn't and man was that the worst decision of my life!
Then I was drenched from head to foot because the little kids thought
it was hilarious to chase the new missionary around and squirt me and
dump water on me. 😑😜😂 I'm winning hearts though! Just one water
fight at a time! 😂😂😂😂
Then my favorite day of the week was Mother's Day! Happy belated
Mother's Day for you mothers! I hope you had an awesome day! I got to
talk with my goofy family! It was the best ever! I was worried we were
going to sit in awkward silence, but turns out I am just a chatter box
and I just couldn't shut up! I felt like my mind was going a million
miles a minute! It was so much fun! It was awesome to see them! 💜💜💜
I wanted to share a scripture that stood out to me this week. Alma
32:16 "Therefore, blessed are they who humble themselves without being
compelled to be humble; or rather, in other words, blessed is he that
believeth in the word of God, and is baptized without stubbornness of
heart, yea, without being brought to know the word, or even compelled
to know, before they will believe."
Well I love you all! I hope you have an amazing week! Also I wanted to
remind you all that if you write me letters please put Sister Karissa
Jacob and not just Sister Jacob because we have two Sister Jacob's and
it would be easier for the office missionaries to sort mail!
Thank you so much for everythig that you all do for me! I love this
gospel so much and I know that it is true! It will bless your lives
and the lives of those around you if you let it! The church is true,
the book is blue, and I love you! 💜
Love,
Sister Jacob
