Napoleon once said "I love technology."

 Oh my goodness! It was quite the week! So, I'm not sure if I mentioned in my last email, but starting this transfer I am one of the social media specialists in our mission! I really didn't know what I was getting myself into, but this week was so hectic! I LOVE IT! My first day, we headed straight to the temple to record the testimonies of the missionaries going home! It was so sad! And then we have had project after project this week with SOOOO many meetings! Oh my goodness! Whew! I almost died! Haha just kidding... but actually! The most pooped I've felt yet! At least I get to do the two things I love: share the gospel, and do photography! 


So as many of you know, I'm back with Sister McLeod and it's a party in a half! Seriously! Our very first day we got sung to by a man named Karl! We were filling up our car with gas and he comes up to us asking us for money so he could make it to the school to teach kids music! He offered to sing us "You can tell everybody" in exchange for cash! Well knowing us... we said yes:) he was actually surprisingly good at singing! So naturally we got his number! And then we enjoyed the night by having a toast lit pizza dinner! (There's nothing more I need to say about that) 

So another highlight was it was Sister Palmer's Birthday!!! Woot woot! Sister McLeod and I sat in our closet and blew up 5 billion balloons at 10pm! It was a core memory for sure! And then the best wake up call ever! We blasted Good Day over the speaker at 6:30am! I have never been that awake in my life! I was trying so hard to have energy that early in the morning! Let's just say I'm not a morning person:) 

Okay, this email is getting a little long, so I'm just going to sum some things up in bullet points:) 

- we got cussed out on the phone on the first contact:) good times! 
- we started teaching this super cool man Joseph and yep! We've only met up with him once, so I dont have much to say about him yet, but good things are coming! I can feel it in the air! 
- I also attended my very first MLC and it was awesome! We talked a lot about what it means to be a good leader and I've learned that the best leader is the one that always shows charity and is non-judgmental! 

At church we were talking about the Atonement of Jesus Christ and there was an analogy made by one of the ladies! She said that putting on a jacket in a storm doesn't change the storm, it adds protection! It's the same with the covenants we make! The holy Ghost doesn't take the trials away, but allows us to get through them easier with more knowledge and comfort! 

Now go out there and kill it! Love you all:)

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...
