205lb Magic!

 Hey! Hi! Hello! Hola! Aloha! I'm back friends! It's been a crazy week, and I'm not entirely sure where to even begin! I'll try my best, but I'm currently scatter-brained haha, so bear with me! 


For starters, we were able to see the ocean! AGAIN! My area is literally the ocean, so what can I say, I am so happy:) Also, it was Sister Anderson's Birthday this week, and she is 20!! AAAHHH craziness! We celebrated, of course and went to a surf shop and bought matching tees:) and then we had to get sushi for lunch and sunflowers (it's a must have) 

Okay, so every pday, there is a sweet man from the ward that buys us groceries!! So precious right?!?! Right! We pick up the groceries, and sing him a church hymn and then he takes our picture! Haha he's so cute and we love him! A couple days later, we had dinner at a members home, and you will never believe how big their dog was!! He was 205lbs!! I'm not even joking! He was the cutest dog ever, and I guess he's a lap dog! He's a Great Dane and his name is magic:) (you'll see in the pictures) I was so happy, it literally made my whole week! 

So we met this man named Steve! He is a member of the church, and we met him at the Lord's Table! Haha yes. He named it that! We read scriptures, prayed, and learned about Jesus Christ together! Could it get any better? No. The answer is no. It cannot! 

I feel like I am just all over the place, but now for the best part of the week... DRUMROLL... RICKY GOT BAPTIZED! I just can't even explain how grateful I am to be a missionary! I love seeing peoples lives change for the better! Everyone is born with the light of Christ, and when you take those steps of following in the saviors footsteps, the light grows and becomes brighter! I am so grateful for my Savior, Jesus Christ! He was already perfect, but because He loves us unconditionally, He came to earth, and showed us the way. The more we look towards the Savior, the happier we are, and the more we will start to see miracles play out in our lives! 

This time I have as a missionary is sacred! It's amazing! I know that we don't have to wear a name tag to be a missionary! Everyone has the opportunity to be a light in someone else's life! The joy that you get when you share the gospel is beyond compare!! So go do it! Experiment upon the words of Christ:) 

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...
