Hello Family,
Well, we got transfer calls today and I am going to another area called Vila Real. It is still in the north of the country. Which is weird because I thought I was going to go south. But I will be serving with Elder Lefevre. He just got off a transfer on the Madeira Islands and we will be going to Vila Real. So, you all know what that means!!!!! We will be WHITEWASHING Vila Real. I have never whitewashed before because President Walton didn´t like doing them but President Torgan loves doind them and does two or three every transfer. But it will be an adventure, that´s for sure. And I have know Elder Lefrevre ever since I got here and he is a good worker and we should get a lot of work done.
But anyways that is pretty much all the news from this week. Just another week of finding. We worked a lot and got 40 hours of proselyting and only found a couple new investigators. And all the ones we found last week have gone away. But we did have one ray of hope named Gabi and his little boy Samuel. They are immigrants from Romania. Which would seem weird but it´s not. There are tons here and they are called gypsies or siganos in Portuguese. They have darker skin and usually are beggars and what ever else you would think about a gypsie. But Gabi is a good guy and knows the Bible really well adn has a desire to learn about the truth. Too bad that I will never be able to see his progress.
But I am really excited to go to Vila Real and do some work. That area has the reputation of being really over worked and I am excited for the challenge.
Well, thanks for all you guys do for me.
Love,
Elder Spencer Jensen
