Change change change!!

 This week was probably one of the slowest weeks of my life, not even exaggerating!! As you know already, I left Pembroke Pines and now I'm in Royal Palm Beach and Wellington!! It was so hard to leave, but I can see the growth that is coming because of it! I'm not going to lie, putting your entire life into the Lord's hands is not easy, but is so worth it:) He knows way more than I ever will, and He knows exactly what I need and when I need it! 


My new companion is... drumroll... SISTER DAVIS!! LETS GO! She is so kind and bubbly! She has seen every side of me already, and it's totally not because I've cried like 100 million times, but YAY! We arrived to our new area, which is now two areas combined into one, and we are over two wards!! WE LOOOVE! Oh and did I forget to mention that we pink washed the area! Which means we are both new to the area, and it's like a clean slate😊 we had nothing to go off of, but we made it work haha don't ask me how we did it... we just did! 

There were so many tender mercies this week that just made it so much better! For starters, we met a sweet lady from one of our wards named Elena! I needed her more than anything. We talked, and she cried and told us all the chapters of her life:) we also met an awesome guy from our ward, and the first thing he asked me was what my favorite cold cereal was LOL don't know why!! Then the rain came; on schedule of course hahaha:) 

I live for my personal study time!! It's probably my favorite part of the day! Side note: I got to start a new journal this week, and if you know me, that's my favorite thing EVER! Anywho, I tried to study a general conference talk every day and here is one of my favorite quotes:

"In those moments when the melody of joy falters below our power of expression, we may have to stand silent for a time and simply listen to others, drawing strength from the splendor around us... not all the voices in God's choir are the same. It takes variety to make rich music." 

I LOVE this! More than usual, but it really spoke to me this week!! We need to believe in ourselves and believe in Jesus Christ. We shouldn't ever demean our worth or abandon our role in God's choir:) if there was ever a time this week that I was feeling down, the best thing I did for myself was sing a song: there is sunshine in my soul today! You just can't not sing that song and not smile!!! 

I love this gospel, and more than anything, I love my Savior, Jesus Christ! He knows me, and He is the only one that knows exactly how I feel ALWAYS! I am so grateful for Him and His eternal sacrifice, and because of Him, I can live with my family forever! 

I love you all so much, and I hope you have the most amazing, miracle filled 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...
