"What time the baptism will be?"

 Hello! Happy Monday! Some weeks on the mission feel like seconds, and the days feel like years. Well this week was one of those weeks. Let me tell ya. 


I feel like we had to go film everyone and their moms this week! The camera was constantly charging, and we were constantly on the go! Every day! But there are perks to being able to travel around the whole mission! One example is that we get to eat the food in different places! drumroll please... WE WENT TO RAISING CANE'S!!! We have been dreaming of a raising cane's 3 piece chicken strip basket for a while now! And God answered our prayers. He is just too good to us haha. 

Okay, also... We started teaching this person named Omar... He sent in a referral a while ago, and wasn't responding, and then just out of the blue on Friday he texted us and asked if we baptize, and said he wants to be baptized. That's literally all he said. Nothing else. Yes, we do in fact help people get baptized Omar. We showed up at his house, and ended up standing outside the door for 15 minutes... He knew we were there. We literally called him and texted him, and we was answering. He opens the door, and the first thought of mine was the first thing that came out of Sister Stevens mouth, "How old are you?" Now he looked 12, but supposedly, he is 21. So yeah, basically the same thing. We had a little lesson with him, and then 30 minutes after we left he texted us, "What time the baptism will be?" Oh Omar. You tell me sir. You tell me.  

On that same day, we met with our cute friend Jose! He's this 80 year old man who we thought was so elect. When he comes out, he has a littel pasta noodle sticking to his pants, and tells us he has bad news for us. Well Great! "I-I-I don't want to be a Mormon..." Oh word!.!.. Yeah me neither Jose. He gave us back the Book of Mormon we gave him and said he's been doing a little research... it gets better. He said that we believe Joseph Smith is being reincarnated into the prophets we have in our church... almost! You almost got it Jose. lol we testified very boldly, and then Sister Stevens gave back the Book of Mormon, and we left. It was quite the adventure. 

Also, the elders in our district gave us some bubbles, and we blew them up in our house, and they are unpoppable bubbles, so they stuck all over the floor for a while. Good times. 

This week was a humbling week for me in a lot of different ways. Something that I thought was so cool that dawned on me is that God is trusting all of us, His disciples, to prepare the world for the second coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ! How cool is that?!?! I know that we cannot do anything without the Lord. Christ was a teacher, but He was also teachable, and that is such an amazing quality to have! I want it too!! 

I do feel like the pictures that I put in my emails tell the story of the week better than I could write it, so refer to those if you are confused. 

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...
