JENFIERI ROUND 2!

WE ARE STAYING TOGETHER!!!! Sister Jensen and I are so excited that we get to stay together for another transfer in Boynton Beach (aka the Miracle factory). The work is progressing so well here and we are seriously the "dream team". Our ward was praying for the past week that we would stay together--- and they were answered! 

This week was so great! 

Alejandra is so excited for her baptism on Saturday and so are we! She is just so awesome you guys. She is so excited for change her life and knows without a doubt that it’s the right thing! We will also have her whole family in Bolivia Skype in for the service, so hopefully all goes well. 

We will actually be having another baptism this Saturday also. Our dear YSA friend Alexander. It’s a realllllly long story with him that I’ll try to explain more next week. He just kinda "popped up" and has the most pure desires to change his life and come unto Christ. He has had the most insane life. I can’t imagine half of the things that he has been though. We are excited for him as well! 

Alicia is still progressing super well. She went and found authentic Turkish Delights for us since she’s from Turkey, they were actually pretty good! She is SO READY for he baptism on the 26th. We talk all the time about how her entire continence has changed since the first day we met her. She just looks and talks and acts different now. ITS AMAZING. 

Also, ELDER HOLLAND WILL BE HERE ALL WEEKEND!!!!!!! I am so excited we seriously tell every single person we meet. We get to sit in the front with our recent converts and other friends. I can’t wait!

We saw a really cool miracle this week! We were walking up to visit one of our friends and we saw a woman backing out of her driveway so we ran over there and motioned to her that we wanted to speak to her. She rolled down the window and we quickly talked to her explaining who we are, etc. She had to go but we felt inspired to get a return appointment. We came back for the return appointment and as we walk in, sitting right on her table is a Book of Mormon. Turns out 2 other sister missionaries about 2 years ago stopped her as she was pulling out of her driveway and gave her a Book of Mormon and they never came back. After talking to her for a while and answering all the questions that she has had for the past TWO YEARS, she is really excited for us to come back and help her prepare to be baptized! 

Guys, life is just so good. Hard work but immense joy. I know that this church is true. I am excited for the miracles that are in store from doing nothing but the Lords work! 

Romans 8:35-39

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I love you, and so does our Savior and our Heavenly Father! Nothing can separate that! 

I pray for you every day! Have a great week!!!
