Tennesse to Macedonia to Serve

  Zdravo and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! Well this week was like the longest week of my life ahaha. Last pday was Thursday and then our next one wasn't till today but that's okay!!  I may be out in the BOONIES of kentucky but God is so so so preparing the people here. We find so many people (pretty much all Hispanics so I'm getting lots of practice saying me llamo hermana Jensen and adios still ahaha. We had interviews with President and he's probably going to make this a Spanish area now soo that's cool but for now I'm chilling.) When I got here 2 weeks ago we had no one on date for baptism and now we have 8 so that's exciting!! And we had 7 people to church on Sunday so that was mega cool. In my last area it was way hard to have 3 people at church and we usually only had 1 or 2 people so that's definitely a big change for me. We even had our friend Beverly come to church for the first time and she's been taught by missionaries for 2 years so it was a big d...

  Howdy zdravo and hello Welcome to my kooky Kentucky kristmas:)) This week has been WILD!! That tornado I'm guessing yall have heard about did in fact touch down near me, ruining cities 20 minutes from me in all directions. Miraculously the nado skirted our little town and we were spared. Miracle 2, somehow none of the missionaries were affected too drastically by the massive tornado, despite it tearing through numerous towns of missionaries. Miracle 3, tornados may just be one of my biggest fears and I literally slept through the storm?? Like sirens and all which is a bless because I would have flipped if I woke up to hear all that (maybe a bad thing tho if the storm had actually gotten us ahah). Anyways not to make light of it at all because there was a lot of death and loss of homes and businesses, I just feel blessed to be okay. Not going to lie I was terrified to be stuck in a little town in the boonies. We barely have 2000 people and definitely no stores or even a Walmart, a...

Добар ден!! My whole life I dreamed about Amy Grant's lovely song Tender Tennessee Christmas. Never in a million years did I think that I would get to actually have one and I was STOKED to be in Tennessee for Christmas. Well, I guess God has different plans for me and I may not ever have one because...... last night we got transfer calls!! And ya girl is getting YEETED to Kentucky AND my comp is getting transferred to Nashville in literally the richest area in our mission where Taylor Swift used to live. We definitely did not expect it because I'm still getting trained and our President never splits up his trainers and trainees:// I'm so sad to leave Hermana Tornow :(( They're replacing us with ELDERS sooo that'll be interesting. Probably a good thing because we live in the ghetto and we were over the young adults which basically meant we just got constantly hit on very inappropriately sooo maybe it's a good thing to have elders here instead.  Last pday we milke...

  Howdy howdy and MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄🎅🏻🎁 there are 3 things I love in life: ice cream, America, and Christmas (and of course my family, friends, and God butttt you get the idea) and man am I excited that I can finally celebrate Christmas without people judging me :))) This week was a whirlwind... Hermana Tornow and I wanted to really focus on helping our friends we're teaching and especially the ones on date to be baptized to come to church. And man we tried but when Sunday morning rolled around the 9 people we thought were going to be there all bailed except one. I sat in sacrament meeting pretty disappointed because I felt like I was falling short. I knew that God wanted each of the people we're teaching to be at church even more than I did so I just said a little prayer for peace and a miracle. Welllll I promise yall God answers prayers. About 20 minutes later one of our friends Sam showed up (we had a lesson with him the night before but he had stopped talking to us the n...
