It's not every day you get to eat a flower. . .

Hi everyone! 

Florida is October is THE BEST! Seriously, the weather this week has been so perfect. 

This week has been pretty good. There's been some great new people we've been able to teach. Also a lot of the snowbirds from our ward are coming back! It's been fun to meet them. 

Also, I just love the book of Alma! I was reading this morning in Alma 32 about faith and I love verse 33. I don't think that verse has stood out to me before, but it did today. It says "And now, behold, because ye have tried the experiment, and planted the seed, and it swelleth and sprouteth, and beginneth to grow, ye must needs know that the seed is good." Sometimes we've just got to TRY! We won't know how things are going to turn out before we do them. I'm a planner and a perfectionist. I tend to want to know how things are going to go beforehand. But life doesn't work that way. We can and should plan, but things don't always work out how we expect. But we do have to try! When we do things work out! Maybe not at first or how we expect, but it works out. Satisfaction comes in actually trying and not just thinking about it forever. Anyway, just some thoughts. The scriptures are great. 

The gospel is true and it's here in it's fulness today to bless our lives! 

Love you all! Keep the faith!

Hermana Jensen and I! Love her!

We were knocking doors and there was a yard covered in these little yellow flowers. The lady answered and though she wasn't interested in hearing our message she told us all about her yard! She said that everything is either edible or native to Florida. So believe it or not you can eat those flowers. They were good!
