The boys are BAPTIZED!! WOOHOO!

 First of all, can someone tell me where the time went? I've been on my mission for 3 months now?!?! I think I've already reached the point where I dont want to leave. Like ever. 


Okay let's get to the good stuff. This week, I'm not even kidding, was MIRACLE FILLED. For starters, the Gonzalez boys, Emmanuel and Julian, are baptized! I can't even believe it! Because it was fast Sunday, the Gonzez boys got up and bore their testimonies at church!! They said, 
"I'm ready to get the Holy Ghost spirit."- Emmanuel Gonzalez 
They truly were smiling from ear to ear, and when they got confirmed, the spirit was so strong! I absolutely love being a missionary, and getting to be apart of people's journeys. I love to see how much people grow and seeing the light of Christ in them, grow every single day. At the baptism, us four sisters got to sing A Child's Prayer, and Sister Hardy played the guitar. I don't even know how we pulled that off, and we really did have angels singing with us!! It was beautiful:) 

Now let me tell ya, Monday was THE hottest day yet. Everyone says it's only going to get worse. HOW?!?! This is brutal enough. I've been running a mile every morning, and running in the humidity is not easy at all HAHA! But what makes it all worth it... is ice cream... for dinner. Yep. I said it:) 

So I don't know if yall know who this is, but Calyann Barnett came and spoke to our mission for our Friday devotional!! Here are some of my favorite takeaways:)
- Heavenly Father knows you and is going to put scriptures in your path
If you don't question or doubt, you don't grow and your testimony doesn't grow! 

As I was reading in Alma 52 it was talking about Moroni and his army. One big thing I learned from it was that we need to be faithful in maintaining order and standing up for what is right. Even when it's hard. As we seek for every opportunity to serve and help others come unto Christ, the Lord blesses you and strengthens you in ways you can't even imagine. It takes a step of faith to pursue with vigor and have the faith to reap:) 

Anyways, I love you all, and I'll talk to you later gator! 

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...
