See ya later Pembroke Pines!! Love you lots!

 This week was so amazing. Yes, I do say that all of the time, but it actually was:) to start it all off, we got to go to the Fort Lauderdale temple! UGH! I love the temple so much, and it was just what I needed!! 


We also got to ride the bus this week, and we are finally getting the hang of it! We met 5 new people that day and I went on exchanges this week! I was the lead of the area, which I'm not going to lie, was kind of scary, but I loved it!! We started teaching a new family that moved into our area, and they are awesome! I can really see their desire to learn more about the gospel and come closer to Christ!! 

The best thing happened this week... Teresa came to church! AGAIN! I absolutely love Teresa! She has the sweetest spirit, and she just always says how much she loves church! Every time we leave her house, she says, "bye baby, love you." UGHHHH! Melts my heart! She is the best, and I'm so excited to see where she ends up:) 

Weekly Giggle: The week isnt over yet friends. We biked to weston, which is a 20 minute drive. But we did it in the rain hahahaha it was actually so much fun! Later in the week, we walked in sun with umbrella because you know. Florida is HOT! Not just a little bit, but like super HOT and STICKY LOL. 

Saddest part of the week: we had to say goodbye to the De Vaux family!!! They are my family away from home, and they have the cutest kids EVER! They are moving to Arkansas and I will NEVER forget their family:) They took us to Texas Roadhouse, and you know how I feel about Texas Roadhouse... THE ROLLS!! 

Big things are happening, I'm getting TRANSFERRED! I have been living in Pembroke Pines for 3 months, and now I'm going to Stuart Florida!! WOOHOO! My new companion is Sister Davis, and she looks so amazing! EEK I'm so excited. I'll update you more on that next week when I actually meet her hahaha:)

Here are a few of the things I learned this week: 
- pursue with VIGOR!! 
- Be faithful in maintaining order (stand up for what is right, even when you are the only one: The Lord isn't going to leave you there to stand up to people by yourself, He's got your back, and as you rely on Him, He will support you:) 
- move with COMPASSION 
- Alma 57:21-27 (because of the obedience of Helaman's army, not ONE soul from his army did perish- NOT ONE! Isn't that so amazing! The miracles that come, when we seek and expect them! WOW! 

I hope you all have the most amazing week, and I will talk to you next week! Love you so much! BYEEEE

Love, 
Sister Jensen

Elder Morrison said what??!

  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...
