Fever dream

 This week was jammed packed let me tell ya. To start things off, on Wednesday, Sister Mcleod and I made 2 pans of scotcharoos to take to families in our ward. If you don't know what scotcharoos are, you are missing our, and you need to google it right now:) They are the most delicious treat EVER!! Anyways, back to reality. 


Now from Thursday to Saturday, I felt like I was in a fever dream hahaha. Don't even know why. It went from Cinco De Mayo to the everglades being on fire and ash falling to the sky to seeing a wild alligator to all of us Sisters crying for no reason to seeing an alien spaceship in the sky to sharing the gospel. Oh and to top things off, I walked into the kitchen the other night, and a cockroach scurried out frol under the floor mat and was right by my foot. EWWW NO. Of course I ran screaming, because I absolutely HATE all bugs. And I'm not even joking when I say it was like 2 inches long. 

Anyways, this week I read a lot of general conference talks and I'm going to share one of my favorite quotes from the week!! 

"Our Heavenly Father wants us to love ourselves—not to become prideful or self-centered, but to see ourselves as He sees us: we are His cherished children. When this truth sinks deep into our hearts, our love for God grows."

I love this so much!! We are so special and we are children of God. He is perfect and He doesn't make mistakes. I know that we are all here on Earth for a reason. Our light is unique and special and we should love ourselves perfectly just as Christ does. 

Thank you for putting up with that email; it was kind of all over the place hahahaha. I love you all so much and I'm so grateful for your support:) have the best week, and I'll talk to you next week:)

Love, 
Sister Jensen

  Woa Guan Man! (That is how they say good morning in Jamaica!) Our friend Antonio taught us that the first time we went to see him haha! I just have to say, I love people. This week especially was just full of so many different kinds of people, and I LOVE IT!  I'm just going to sum this week up in some bullet points:) - Let me start with Joe... Joe came up to us in Bass Pro shop and took our whole district to lunch! He was following us around, and we were a little scared and then he was super friendly, and sometimes a little too friendly. He sat in between Sister Mcleod and I and we each went one by one around the table teaching the restoration HA! He grabbed Sister Mcleod's and my hand, and he was like staring into our souls... kinda scary, but he was an adventure to say the least.  - Also, I don't think I've ever been more tired in my entire life! Literally! We woke up at the crack of dawn on Wednesday to film a music video for the Creole Facebook page, and it was so...

Chia pets, and shattered glass!!

  Hola mis amigos! Another transfer; GONE! I'm staying in Boynton Beach with Sister Anderson:) Time is just flying! I am so grateful to be a missionary! Seriously, I wouldn't have it any other way:) Okay let's get to what all of yall actually want to hear haha!  We have been teaching this super cool guy, Adam. There's a couple things you need to know about Adam: he has no concept of time, he wants to be baptized, and he has a lot of girl problems lol. He is always asking us for relationship advice... like of all people he asks the 2 girls who can't even have relationships haha anyways we just sit and listen. But he really does want to be baptized, so we are working with him to achieve that goal! We made a deal with him that if he doesn't smoke for one week, we will quit sugar. That one didn't last very long. I'm not going to say who cracked first, but let's just say we had ice cream last night haha.  Now for the crazy. Because you know I can't go...

Dori said to "Just keep swimming," so that's what I did...

  Oh-M-Goodness! If I could put every emotion into one week, this would be the week. I'm not even kidding. We cried, we laughed, we died, we "swam", we sang, we were happy, and we were sad. Everything in one:) "BREAKING NEWS, 2 SISTER MISSIONARIES STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AMAZON FLORIDA JUNGLE" no im kidding. For starters, I have NEVER seen this much rain in my entire life. This week we had a literal downpour. It was basically raining cats and dogs! I think we had 29 inches of water, and honestly, we probably had more than that. We were heading back home from our tech council, and we got stuck on this one street that was backed up for days because it was flooded! Every time a car would pass us, our car would lift off the ground a little bit because the waves! We were driving through the ocean. It wasn't funny at the moment, but it was funny to look back on, and especially watch all our videos. I found that we got distracted a lot, and ended up praying i...
