Dear Family,
Sorry I have been bad at writing lately and I hope you can forgive me. We have been wroking really hard here in spite of allt eh bad happendings lately haha. We have a couple investigators that we are working with. One is Lurdes. She is about 35 or 40 and she walked into church yesterday. She thought our church was a different one but she decided to stay and see what we had to offer. So she was there for a little of sacrament and then since our gospel principles teacher didn´t show up (another story) we just taught her a lesson with a RM that is in our ward. It was a good lesson until a member decided to come in. Now, I love to have members help, but only when I can control what they say. This member got everything off track and it was really hard to keep the lesson going in a smooth direction. But Lurdes liked it and we gave her the baptismal invite and she said if she finds an answer she will be baptized.
Another one is Tiago. We are going to meet with him today. Elder Nielsen found im when he was on a division and I was in a different town. So, Idk all about the lesson. But he really liked it and he read 3 Nephi 11 and said he really like it and read the next 2 chapters after that. He is in his early thirties and looking for a family and kids. But today we are going to teach him the Restoration and give him a baptismal invite.
But yesterday was like going to the swim pool. It was so gosh dang humid. There was literally fog in the middle of the day and I could not stop sweating and even now I am still sweating. It is really humid and probably not even that hot. haha But I guess that´s what happens with a costal country.
Things here in Guimarães are going good. And I am really enjoying it. My Portuguese is pretty good. I still have problems understanding some words but I am learning slowly but surely. It is a pretty difficult language.
On Saturday the branch had a picnic and they served pork and sardines. The sardines were ok, I only had two and the pork wasn´t the best I have ever had.
But this morning I made some amazing banana bread that tastes better than any sardine ever could haha.
I love and miss you guys. Have your kids write letters and send photos.
Love,
Elder Spencer Jensen
