Boynton is busy busy!!

 OMBOOGERS! HI! This week has been absolutely insane and I love love love Boynton Beach! The people, the area, my companion, the weather (sometimes...) where do I even begin?!?! 


Let's start with the fact that we have a baptism on Saturday! RICKY! He is so amazing, and is so elect! He has a testimony of this gospel, and you can see the light of Christ shining from every pore! Wow! We showed up to the area, and he was already on date! 

Okay here is what happened on Friday! What a day! Because of the area we are in, we share a car with another set of sisters! So you know what that means... biking! Yay! Let's just say, this Florida heat is a killer for sure! We biked 45 minutes to do service for a member, and we spent 2 hours pulling weeds! Loved it so much! Sister Anderson and I were dripping (a pool was definitely filled) haha but for the mems! We then started biking to go dot hopping (which is when you go visit some friends that were being taught in the past) and guess what?!?! MY TIRE POPPED! Of course! But it popped right as we were passing this sweet lady walking! We tried to talk to her for a little bit but only a few words were exchanged. So we started to walk our bikes and after 30 minutes, we ran into her again! WHAT? yes you read that right! We started talking, and she wanted to keep talking! We got her number and she wanted to come to church! She is so amazing! 

The amazing thing about this area is that the people here actually want to talk to us! I'm not used to that at all! Normally when we walk up and say hi, people just give us a weird look. That is not the case here! Everyone wants to talk about Jesus!! YES! MY FAVORITE THING TO TALK ABOUT!!!

Anyways, so much more happened! We have lesson after lesson, there is no time to stop and smell the flowers lol! I love it so much! I am so so grateful for this area and for this amazing experience of being a missionary! It truly is the best thing I have ever decided to do:) I live to see the light of Christ grow in the eyes of everyone we talk to! Something I always try to remember is that no matter how you do something, or what you say, you are touching someone! When you think that your smile, or your "hi" won't impact someone, that's when it will impact someone the most:) this gospel is joy!

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...
