Happy 4th of July!!

 Hey friends!! This week literally flew by, and guess what, I hit my 100 days in Florida!! Tell me where the time went! You can't. Okay, but this week was so amazing! There were a couple downfalls with all of our lessons being canceled, but hey, you can find a blessing in all trials right?! RIGHT! 


To start things off, as we were at a members house this past week having dinner, and me, only being out on my mission for 3 and a half months, got tricked into giving a talk at church this coming Sunday:) so that will be so fun! And the crazy thing is, the day before, I had a thought that I should start writing a talk just in case I ever have to randomly give one at church. Heavenly Father works in mysterious ways I'm telling you haha. 

Other than that, we had a lot of fun delivering letters and heart attacking some more members this week to get to know them more! Being over two wards is muy confusing lol all the names are jumbled in my head, and it's hard to keep them all straight. Thank goodness for profile pictures HAHA! We also had zone conference this week, which was literally the best! It just gets you pumped to do missionary work, and you really do learn so much:) not to brag or anything, but I do have the best zone ever! Don't even try to argue:) 

Okay focus! Now for the miracles:) we received a referral on Saturday night around 7:30pm, so we texted him and introduced ourselves and asked if he would like to meet sometime:) without even thinking, an hour later, we decided to start calling some random people in our phone. So we clicked on His name, and called him!! (His name is Bill) we ended up talking for 30 minutes, and he told us all about his life. He told us that we caught him off guard when we called because he had just put in a request to meet with us, and hour before. It gets better... at the end of the phone call, I randomly invited him to church for Sunday, and without hesitation, he said he would come. And he did! We showed up to church, and he was there 30 minutes early!!! Now let me tell you, this man is ELECT! He is so amazing, and he just kept saying how welcomed he felt, and how warm it was:) 

I just wanted to say how grateful I am to be apart of this gospel!! It truly is a blessing in my life, and I don't know where I would be without it! I have been able to better understand who I am, by learning who Christ is! He is my Savior, my brother, and my friend, and I know He lives!! I want to challenge all of you this week (because I LOVE YOU of course) to point out a blessing in every trial!! I know there is always a blessing hidden, you just have to seek for it:) LOVE YOU ALL SO SO MUCH! I'll talk to you next week! BYEEE 

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...
