"Go get em' Sister Tigers!"

 Hello again! You'll never guess, but another transfer, GONE!!! I can't even believe it! I am just so eternally grateful to be a missionary for the Lord! I truly know that this is God's work, and I couldn't do it without Him! Anyways, it's been a rollercoaster of a week, so bare with me as I try to put my discombobulated brain into an email:) 


To start the week off... I passed out... it was great! I turned pasty white and everything went black! We were walking back home from ghe gym, and Sister Arlint and Sister Anderson grabbed my arms to help me walk back because I was feeling a little dizzy and nauseous, and the next thing I remember is my whole body going limp "like a rag doll" (Sister Arlint) and everything goes black! Sister Arlint thought it would be a good idea to try and get me on her back, so Sister Anderson started to push me up, "okay, I'm just going to grab your butt!" (Sister Anderson) but it wasn't working haha (and keep in mind that I am totally passed out during all of this, so I don't remember it at all) they gave up on that, and just laid me down on the sidewalk! I wish I could have just stepped out of my body and watched all of that happen because we laughed for like 30 minutes afterwards! 

On a happier note, we got to bike so much this week, and it was even cold! I had goosebumps! And none of you can tell me that it's not cold because 70 degrees is what I'm used to now, and it's freezing haha! Every night we had to stop biking so Sister Arlint could take a picture of the moon! She's obsessed haha! We have SO MANY pictures of the moon! Too many to count:) 

Last week Sister Arlint and I made a new years goal to not say the word "hate" anymore because we want to work on charity! Let's just say I have abs of steel now! Every time I say it I have to do 50 crunches and she has to do 25 jump squats! Teamwork makes the dreamwork I guess:) 

Now for the best miracles...

Miracle#1: 
JUSTIN IS GETTING BAPTIZED!! WAAHHOOOO! We have been praying so hard for him, and finally he accepted to be baptized! We laughed, cried, screamed, and then laughed and cried some more! He is so excited! And he's already been talking to our members and decided he wants Jordan to baptize him! Like he is a heaven sent blessing! It's crazy to think about that we are answers answers to people's prayers, but also others are answers to our prayers and they don't even know it! God is SO GOOD! 

Miracle #2: 
Remember our friend Ivan?? Yeah well big news! HE SAID OUR KNEELING PRAYER at the end of our lesson! That is HUGE for him! And it's so cool to be in the front row seat watching his life change, and seeing the light grow in his countenance day by day! AAHH I love it! 

Miracle #3: 
So I would say this is more of a funny Miracle to me:) lol so there is this man Austin we started to teach this week, and we met him on FAU campus for the first time! It took every ounce of our bodies to not break out and start laughing though because he was smacking the table left and right for mosquitoes!! "Did you get it?" (Sister Arlint) "well I didn't see it's corpse, so I don't know where it went." (Austin) and when things couldn't get any worse, they did... we looked over, and there was a raccoon digging through the trash can! Why is everything so much funnier when you aren't supposed to laugh?! It's terrible! 

Miracle #4: 
We have been working so hard as a mission go have 25 lessons per week, per companionship, and this week we were determined to beat that goal! We ended up having 32 LESSONS! Which is insane for us, especially in a YSA!! It just shows how much God loves us! When we have faith, and work hard to accomplish His work, He will bless you with more!

I was studying in the talk Wholehearted this week, and there were so many amazing messages I got out of it; that quote being one of them:) The power we need to get through life's challenges is obtained by going through the challenges while relying on God for support! I know God loves His Children because He wouldn't send us to earth without the tools to get through trials! He wants us to grow, and that is why we are given them! Always remember that you CAN do hard things! God knows you can, and that's why He gives trials to His strongest children! 

"Arm in arm with you, I want to stand with Him forever. Wholehearted. Knowing that when we love Jesus Christ with all our hearts, He gives us all in return." 

Quote of the week: "go get em' Sister tigers!" Something my companion says 24/7 but now I'm saying it to all of you;)

Love all of you lots, and I know God loves you too! Have an amazing miracle filled week, and I'll 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...
