Argentina won the world cup...?

 Holy guacamole!! Another week for the books! First off I just want to say how much I love it here! Being a missionary is one of my favorite things in life! AAAHH I love it more than acai bowls; and that's saying a lot! 


Which brings me to the first subject... we made homemade acai bowls this week for dinner and all I have to say is *chefs kiss* if you haven't made or tried them yet, run. That's all:) 

Also something amazing happened this week! Well a lot of amazing things happened this week! It started raining A LOT so we jumped in the puddles and made rain angels:) why you ask? Why not?!! It was so fun! That's another thing you need to do asap! It's better than snow angels:) 

Okay so for the first miracle we have Fernando! He's a member of the church, but he comes every so often and we decided to give him a call one night and see what's up and how he's been and when we told him we wanted to read a little scripture with him, he said he had to run to his car to grab his Book of Mormon which he's never done before! I didn't even know he still had his Book! And when he got back we read in Alma 32 and I told him about Ether 2 when the Brother of Jared is commanded to build barges! He was so fascinated and insisted that he was going to read those chapters later that night after he went to listen to heavy medal! (Disco night is on Wednesday I guess) AND THEN! He randomly insisted on telling us about a missionary experience he had this week! So he Uber's people around when he has free time to make some extra money and he said thus one lady got into his car and saw his Book of Mormon sitting on the seat and started asking questions about it, and his religion, and church , etc. And they ended up both sharing their stories and he bore testimony of the church and of the book of Mormon and God, and she started crying and at the end of the drive they both got out and gave eachother a hug!! How precious is that? I could barely contain myself over the phone!! It was sooooo cool! GOD IS SO GOOD! Later we promised Fernando that if he came to church then the team he wanted to win for the world cup would win (Argentina)... well... Fernando didn't come, and Argentina still won... we are going to have to have a little talk with Heavenly Father later lol jkjk! 

Alright, moving on... as a mission, we have set a goal to testify 25 times a day in some way, shape, or form. So we decided to take on the challenge and go downtown with one of our members and talk to as many people as we could! With that mindset right off the bat, we met 2 super cool people, Tae and Reggie! Tae mentioned that she had friends from a while ago on missions for our church and was interested in learning more about our church and coming too! And Reggie was a member, but just hasn't come back in a while! We got his number and so hopefully he's able to come back to church soon! We kept on walking and I'm pretty sure we ended up testifying more than 25 times, but it just made me so happy and excited! We met a guy with biodegradable shoes, a beetles fan, handed out a Book of Mormon! It was a successful outing to say the least:) 

As I've been reflecting a lot this week about Christmas coming up, I just wanted to say how much I love my Savior, Jesus Christ! He's my best friend, brother, examplar, Redeemer, guide, and most importantly, he's my light. Christmas isn't about all the presents! Don't get me wrong, the gifts are amazing, but they are only temporal. Jesus Christ is the greatest gift, and that one lasts for eternity! I love this gospel. It is perfect and beautiful! And I love all of you:) have a fantabulous week, and I'll see ya later! 

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...
