"Tipsy on the lime in my dirty coke..."

 OH MY GOODNESS!!! So, turns out I've hit my last transfer! Aaaahhhh kind of freaking out, and at the same time it hasn't even hit me yet! So it's going well! It's been a very long week and a half since our last pday, and I am dead tired. So tired that I woke up yesterday with 2 purple lines under my eyes. I was not well haha. But I am so so excited for the new transfer! I am going to... MIAMI!!! I'll be in the Killian ward with the cutest sister, Sister Fletcher! Love her to death! Let me get on with the week now. 


THE SISTERS CONFERENCE!!!
It was AMAZING to say the least, and the theme of it was based off of John 1:48. If you haven't read the parable of the fig tree, go right now! It is one of my very favorites! Basically it is about being seen under the fig tree, and that Christ does see us. Obviously we needed to have figs to decorate the center of the tables according to the one and only Sister Cluff! Love her. So she sent us all on a wild goose chase trying to find real figs at the grocery stores. The conference started at 10, and it was 9:30, and we still did not have figs. Sister Stevens and I went to Joe himself (Trader joes) and they all kept saying, "it's not fig season." Sorry, but that was not the answer I wanted or needed to hear lol so we were going to drive back to the mission home right as we were passing Whole foods, and decided to try even though the sisters called and they said they didn't have any figs. We walked around the whole store probably 3 times, and nothing. I walked up to this worker, and he told me the exact same thing everyone else was telling me, "it's not fig season." Well that's just silly. WHEN IS FIG SEASON?!?!! And then we were about to leave, and I decided to go ask another worker, and he stops and turns around and says, "oh yeah, they are right there." *points to the biggest pike of figs you can imagine*!!!! Those were NOT there before, and everyone probably though Sister Stevens and I were absolutely nuts because we were jumping up and down and getting so excited in the middle of whole foods hahaha. It was a miracle! So worth it! 

We also had the craziest lesson with Bradley and Yelris. It wasn't that crazy, but we went in to the lesson not really knowing what was going to happen or what we were going to say, and we ended up asking them to be baptized!!! They have been tough cookies teaching them, and they just agreed out of the blue! It was AMAZING! 

And then on the same day, we saw these 2 members who are less active at the walmart just getting some cereal and milk to have a bros night haha but the coolest part was that we were going to leave because the checkout line was literally to the back of the store, but we felt like we should stay, and they were right behind us in line!!! And then, we found out that it was 13 years ago that day that they were baptized! CRAZY! 

Okay so next item of ward business is that Sister Stevens and I went on a little trip this week... to the... KEYS!!! We were just floating on a tiny island in the middle of the atlantic ocean and the gulf of mexico haha and SO MUCH HAPPENED! We were filming a music video for our Spanish facebook page that the elders wrote and we were just having the time of our lives! We touched and fed key deer who are endangered, ate a coconut that Mike cut down for us, saw crabs everywhere, got key limes from the keys, ate key lime pie from the keys, almost walked into the biggest spider I have ever seen in my life, saw a pile of bones..., saw a full double rainbow, walked on a 7 mile long bridge that went right over the ocean, we basically stood in the garden of eden haha, and one of the elders told us about a rap he made with a past companion (the title of my email... it's actually really good, so you should try it if you haven't already: diet coke, lime, vanilla *chefs kiss*) So yeah! That is what happened on the keys, and it was a dream!!! I didn't want to leave!

So sorry for the super long email, but I just had to say a lot haha But miracles are real! Jesus Christ lives! God is a perfect creator, and I know that the Lord gives you strength even when you have purple lines under your eyes haha.

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...
