#dowhatyoucan't WITH HIM

 "Anotha week, anotha spiritual dolla." I can't believe I am actually writing this email, but this is my last one! My mission is at the end, and it honestly feels like a fever dream! This cannot be real! I'm not sure when it will hit me, but it will soon, and I don't think I'm going to be ready for it! Last night was my last miracle call for the mission and I had to give my departing testimony! The whole time I was just like, THIS ISN'T REAL!!! I honestly never want it to end, but I know God has bigger and better plans ahead, SO FEAR NOT! Let's get to the week shall we??!

I have to start by saying that we had to deal with so many dogs and dawgs this week... there are 2! The first dog was because we were biking and Sister Fletcher got chased by every dog we passed and almost got eaten alive! She was peddling so fast, and I know this makes me sound so evil, but I was laughing so hard I almost peed my pants, BUT I DIDN'T hahaha! "You go away! It's okay, I'm not going to hurt you. *quiet screams from the distance*" the little boy running after her was trying to calm him down and it was so cute! But we laughed at the next stoplight for a solid 3 minutes straight! I had to meet her there because she has never biked so fast in her life haha okay sorry for the ramble but the second dawg was because we got our toes done and the ladies were tearing apart our feet one toe at a time! All of Sister Fletcher's toes were bleeding and she ripped out my ingrown nails lol sorry for the visual, but it's important to know haha 

Can I just say how much I love the people of Florida! There's no one quite like them! One in particular is Miriam! She is a recent convert here in the Killian Ward and we went over to see her this week, and she was hyping us up the whole time!! She has a little bit of dementia, so she just kept asking us over and over again how we got to be so pretty?!! It was just the cutest thing! She later said that she was pretty too because the spirit was making her pretty! AMEN MIRIAM! The spirit does make you beautiful because it's the light of christ glowing from you! 

Random funny fact... it was on Saturday September 23rd that I finally got the why did the chicken cross the road joke!!! WHAT IN THE WORLD??!!! To get to the other side!!! My mind was blown, but holy guacamole, that is a dark joke lol 

Okay one last thing! I had my very last district council this week and it also happened to be with the Cluff's! Sister Cluff gave the best training, and the thing that stuck with me was #dowhatyoucant WITH HIM! There are going to be so many times in life when you think you can't do something! But guess who's telling you that?!! SATAN! Tell him to go away! He just wants to make us miserable because he can't have a body! I know that we can do everything that we think we can't do with the help of Jesus Christ! He is the only way to eternal happiness! I have a testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ! I know He lives, and I know that He loves me, and you! If He didn't, we wouldn't be here today! I know that change is possible! I know that this is God's church once again restored to the earth and I know that the things we learn here are to prepare us for eternity with our Heavenly parents! I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God, and I know it's true! It has so much power! SO MUCH! It will turn your entire life upside down, and change you forever, starting from the inside out! I love being a missionary, and being able to represent Jesus Christ before He comes to this earth again! I love you all!!! Keep being amazing and remember God loves you! 

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...
