Lean on Faith

 We did a bunch of service this week also and we did 33 bags of leaves

one night so that was awesome

What I've learned this week is no matter how much I think I've already

leaned on God, I have to double it pretty much every week. Especially
listening to the spirit while knocking doors. 
We had a crazy experience in Elkton Virginia. It's a tiny clan with only a few
Hispanics so we had to knock on a bunch of doors in this heavy baptist
town....always fun. Anyways we were knocking this apartment complex
and I felt prompted to go this guy Brian's door, but we got talking
to him and he was really accepting of the gospel, unfortunately we had
to turn him over to the English elders. 
We also learned that there is an active clan group there and they kept telling us to leave their town. I don't know, they're just these string bean looking in-bred
hicks, so I don't even know how to take them seriously when they almost
crash this pile of crap jeep they keep driving by us in hahaha. 
Also, I've learned Mexican Spanish is soooo easy to understand, when it
comes to talking to Argentinians and Puerto Ricans it's way hard to
catch everything they're saying.

We're still teaching John our investigator who was supposed to be on
date for baptism this Saturday, but he just said he doesn't want to be
because he doesn't know everything. So he keeps asking us all these
questions that have to do with science, like where did all the different type of races come from and stuff? I don't know it's kind of frustrating because he listens to all the commandments and reads his scriptures and everything, but oh well we will be patient.
Also the 90 year old Puerto Ricans we are teaching (the Dominga family) love us and the
gospel, they're my favorite to go and teach. They could just talk for hours. And I was praying and the dog was barking and she just started freaking out and yelling at it in middle of the prayer. They hate the cold too so it's kind of funny because every time we teach them they are huddled under blankets and you can only see their faces. But we were teaching them one day and all of sudden like 13 people walk through the door, but one of them (their son in law) was baptized this summer so he sat down and started talking with us and teaching them about temples and baptism. It was awesome! Well that's my report for this week, I can't wait to hear from some of you guys and I can't wait to share what's new next week

With love
Elder Jacobson

I asked Ryan if, by clan, he meant Klan- and he did. So we might send a few extra prayers up for his safety in this area. 

This picture was sent to my phone from a random number. I love those! The message was

"They are great missionaries. He sends his love. We had them for lunching and they wanted to make no bake cookies, so we made them! The book is blue and the church is so so true."
