Elder Spencer Jensen
Avenida Cidade de Maringá
Torre V, 3ºC
2400-052 Leiria
hey everybody this is my new address. I live in a city down south in my mission called Leiria. It is way pretty and has a castle in the middle of town on a hill. The language is coming well... itºs getting easier everyday to understand what people are saying but it is still kind of a struggle. but i´m working on it. the money has been hard to get used to haha i like the good ole green back. my new comp is elder Tollman from salmon Idaho. hes pretty cool and this is his last transfer. but i really like it here i´ve taught a couple lessons and they were OK. one of them we got a baptismal commitment but he didnºt show up to church.
i am surprised at how much poverty there is over here. most people live in tiny dirty houses. and we donºt usually teach too many Portuguese but mostly Brazilian or African. but that´s OK. there´s a prophesy from i don´t remember but it says that Portugal will turn Europe into a boom for baptisms again. and i came into the mission right as that was happening. so i´m way excited for that.
not much else to say just pray that i will receive the gift of understanding Portuguese please haha and i love and miss you guys.
love
