"Rock On."

 Can we talk about how it's December already! Like Christmas is 20 days away! AAAAHHH It's insane!! 


Anyways, so pretty crazy story... transfer day... the day I met my new trainee... all the trainers sit in the chapel and all the new missionaries sit up on the stand in front of us! And at this moment, we still don't know who our companion is going to be! Well I watched all the missionaries walk in, and when I saw one sister the vibes were just good:) she was all smiley, and I just new! And turns out I was right haha! My new companion is Sister Arlint, and she is AMAZING! A literal superstar, and a firecracker for sure! 

Let me give you an example haha so we were teaching a friend, and the first thing that she says is, "so were you even happy? How does that story effect you now? What are you going to do about it?" And then she shared the story of Alma the younger... and if you don't know that story, go read Alma 36! It's AWESOME! 

Anyways, here are some other highlights from the week: 
- we spent our first day at FAU and handed out SO MANY Christmas flyers! 
- went to downtown delray with a bunch of our members, and also handed out flyers and light the world cards! Unfortunately, we found a couple on the floor, but it's okay; keep on keeping on! We had gotten a big stack of them, and we ended up handing out half the stack!! Our members are amazing:) there was also a 100ft. Christmas tree, so you know it's good:)

Okay, one more thing! We decided to go have breakfast with one of our members and while we were sitting at a table outside this random man came over and literally sat down right next to me, pulls out a cigarette, and starts smoking it while blowing the smoke all over us... umm hi! Let me just pull out this picture of Christ and a Word of Wisdom pamphlet real quick:) we laughed about it later... 

I just want to say how grateful I am for this gospel! Especially the Book of Mormon! As I was reading in the scriptures yesterday, a scripture stood out to me, and I want to share it with you:) 

3 Nephi 22:10 
For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.

I love love love this scripture because it truly shows us that Jesus will never leave us! No matter what is going on in the world, He will always show His love and kindness towards us! I know that one way He shows that is by the scriptures:) that is where we learn to become like Him! I know they are true! 

Have a fantabulous week! Talk to you later:) 

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...
