IGUANAS... dead or alive??

 "Anotha week, anotha spiritual dolla!" @sisterarlint HEY HEY!! I hope everyone had a fabulous week! It's been another wild one! So... It was transfers!!! We have a new mission president, President Cluff, and his wife, Sister Cluff! They are quite literally the cutest people ever! Seriously! And we had no idea, but we were the first missionaries they met in Florida!! Crazy right??! Yep! We spent literally 2 days just trying to set up all their mission phones and computers, and it was on the more difficult side because they forgot all their passwords... hahaha... let's just say one minute of being locked, went to an hour really quick! That's right folks! We locked the new mission President's phone for an hour! It was great! So we decided to come back to that one, and go eat lunch and then come back and grind again lol. I love them to pieces though! At our zone conference, they just knew exactly what to say, when to say it, and what to do! I will be honest, it was a little scary getting a new mission president, especially because we didn't know a single thing about him or his wife, but they are just big teddy bears! At least that is one way to describe it! 


Here are some of the notes I took at our zone conference, and some of the things I've already learned from the Cluff's! 
1. marvelous= hard to believe
2. Missionary work is supposed to be fun! You need to bring your personality into it, because you were called for you!! 
3. If you are keeping the commandments and being obedient then you know that right now you are where you need to be, and you are on the right path!

I just love being able to learn from different people all the time! I am so so grateful I get to work so closely with our new mission President, and get to know him before I go home! 

And here's for the other random things that happened this week lol:
- we got a little surprise from the elders on our front porch... guess what it was... A DEAD IGUANA!! It had died from heat, and literally that was not just any iguana! It was a dinosaur! hahaha 
- Speaking of iguanas, Wednesday night we were dropping food off at the church, and we came back home to have a lesson with our new friend Jennifer! Well about 5 minutes after being home, we hear these scratching noises coming from the living room! I stood up, and looked out our bedroom door, and there was the BIGGEST iguana scratching at the window inside our house!!!! When I tell you I was freaking out, you better believe that I was jumping all over the place, and I couldn't scream because we were in the middle of a lesson with our friend on the phone!!! THE LONGEST 16 MINUTES OF MY LIFE!!! This iguana was also a dinosaur, but this one dropped its tail, sooooo it was harder to catch! We were climbing all over the furniture trying to find it because we couldn't after our lesson, and it was hiding under the dresser! Thankfully we got it out! whew! don't even ask lol! 
- we gave the most epic Michael Jordan training about being diligent and urgent! Let's all be like Michael Jordan shall we?!?!!
- we started teaching the cutest young woman! Her name is Francesca, and well she is ELECT! That's the only way to put it! She wants to be baptized, so get ready! She's coming!
- we got 80 chicken nuggets for $8.00 lol 

My testimony grew so much this week! We were having a harder week, and as we talked to each other, and others, they always said the exact thing we needed to hear! There are angels sent from God to deliver messages, and answer our prayers! God is good! All God is asking is for us to be ourselves because He created us the way we are! He doesn't make mistakes, and if you think He does... well there's the door🚪 lol I'm just joshing ya, but actually, I'm being totally serious! God answers our prayers, and it will NEVER be according to our own timeline! God knows the plan because He created it! We just have to trust in the plan! I love you all, and most of all God loves you, and He knows you by name!

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...
