Ella's Mission Florida Fort Lauderdale

  "Anotha week anotha spiritual dolla!" Heyy friends and family! This week has been the biggest rollercoaster, so hold on tight cause there's a lot to share!  It was transfers last week, and I got a new companion, SISTA STEVENS!! AAAHHH transfer day was also insanely hectic because 75 out of 90 companionship were there from our mission so I guess you could say it was a mad house! And then... I saw Sister Arlint!! It was like a movie scene because we ran to give hugs across the parking lot hahahaha we were the main characters at that moment!  Things have been an absolute party over here in tech and we have so many fun projects happening these next couple of weeks! We had to go give a training in MLC to all the young mission leaders and it was probably the scariest thing I've done in my life! The amount of dart eyes we got was insane! If you want success, you have to have faith in God first! No matter how hard you try, it will not compare to how much you could do with G...

  What a week! It sure was one for the books! I am not even kidding when I say this week felt like 5 in 1 haha.  We had the COOLEST lesson with our friend Jeffery and one of the youth from our ward on Tuesday! So we felt like we needed to share with him the restoration and it just happened to be that Andrey (the youth from the ward) just had the coolest experience with the Book of Mormon this week, and bore his testimony in sacrament meeting last Sunday! Andrey taught some principles, and was using scriptures, and stories, so it was TOTALLY AWESOME! It might be a silly thing to get excited about, but it's the little things in life! Then we get to the funny part of the story. We were sitting outside for the lesson on the steps outside of Jeffrey's house, so when we stood up, we had a little dirt on our pants, and Andrey just goes, "You got dirt. You need to wipe." He is the most friendly person on this planet, and in church he goes up with his parents to translate thei...

  MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU... Yeah, I know Star wars! Anyways, it was quite the adventurous week, so let's get to it.  We had the most splendid time on exchanges, and so many crazy things happened. First, I was walking outside to get something from the car, and right as I took a step, a little baby lizard ran across and I squished it with my shoe... It was literally the saddest thing ever because I heard the little squish and everything came out:( I picked it up with a stick, and set it in the dirt. Then, I came back a couple hours later, and there were 5,000 ants devouring it, and all that was left was its skeleton! So, I guess you could say I fed the literal 5,000 this week. May not have been what I was expecting, but it still works I guess. The circle of life is real.  Don't worry though, the day gets better:) We started teaching this 14 year old Jeffery. He's so cool, but here's the situation. So we went over to his house for the fist time, and his grandpa was the...

  ALOOOHA! I hope everyone had the most fantastical week of their lives, and saw so many miracles! Let's just say, my testimony of The Savior grew this week in so many different ways! First, we had THE COOLEST miracle! Okay, so on a night this week (I don't remember which one) Sister Mcleod and I prayed to find a family of 3! We decided to take a different approach this week to finding, and set very specific goals. We were going around the next day dot hopping, and felt like we should go visit this woman Amy that was being taught a while ago. Anyways, when we got there we met her husband who has been gone for a year, and her daughter who is 14 years old!! OH MY GOODNESS! Craziness! A family of 3! We were so excited! Imagine what a 3 year old would do when she gets a surprise birthday party... well times that by 1000 and you got half of what Sister Mcleod and I were like. Little Sister Jensen would be blown away haha!  This energy decided to carry with us through the rest of th...
