97 days until Christmas!!! No one's counting...

 If I could describe my week in one word it would be wild. I'm going to be honest, not a lot happened, and by that I mean I don't remember a single thing that happened. Here are a couple highlights:) 


I met Ella Jensen! She is literally me. I am her. And we are the exact same person. She is a cute young woman in the ward I'm serving in right now, so you already know I had to take a picture with her lol we also saw the biggest tree on the planet. Not sure if it actually is the biggest tree, but it was at that specific moment in time haha 

We got a referral online from the coolest man EVER! He was waiting for our call all day and when we talked, he said he had already been baptized into the Christ Fellowship church. This place is the great and spacious building. No jokes haha! Everyone we talk to goes to that church!! 

Anyways, this week was giving all the fall vibes. It was raining and cold; and by cold I mean 80 degrees haha. But that us cold for me! We made pumpkin bread and a member brought us a pumpkin to put on our table and then we made apple cider YUM! I love love love fall time! I wish Florida actually had seasons though lol. But we even listened to Christmas music! I know, that is illegal for some people, but it's never too early for Christmas haha! 

The hardest thing to hear this week was my Grandma passing away. I knew it was coming, but I didn't really want to think about it. I can't even express how eternally grateful I am to have a knowledge of God's plan for us. I know that families are forever. I know that my ancestors are watching over me, always cheering me on. I love that feeling. To know that I will see my grandma again, brings me the most comforting feeling! I already know she is a missionary in heaven:) 

As I was reading some general conference talks this week, there was one in specific that I loved, and of course I have to share:) He says, "When we live in awe and wonder, we are happier. We will become more spiritually resilient and protected against falling into the trap of spiritual apathy. A feeling of wonder and awe stimulates the enthusiasm to joyfully live the doctrine of Christ." How amazing is it that we have Christ's perfect gospel on the Earth. It's all for us! There are moments in our lives that we cannot deny. The amazing and miraculous times that Christ has bore us up in times of struggle. I am so in love with this gospel! Don't you just want to scream from any rooftop about Jesus Christ? Yeah? Me too. He's my friend, Savior, Examplar, Redeemer, Brother, and my everything! 

I love you all, and I hope you have the best week! GO KILL IT! Woot woot! 

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...
