Dear Family,
Thanks so much for all the bday wishes and everything. Thanks for the support that you guys have given me through out the years. And also the support that you guys have given me during me mission. And also for all the letters. You don´t know how much hey make the day better haha. And I hope all the nieces and nephews still remember who I am haha. I hope all is well at home.
Things here in Portugal are really good. We are working with e kid named Manel. He is 15 and he is friends with basically every youth in our ward. So, he already has that support system. And also he has a real desire to follow the Savior in his life. I will tell you how things go with him.
Sorry, I haven´t written in the last couple weeks. Nothing too exciting has been going on. I am in Vila Real still and things are going great. I haven´t spoken hardly any English for almost a month now. It is hard sometimes but it is really improving my language. And my vocabulary is starting to become better and also my grammar. I wanna be fluent by the time I leave the mission. And I am going to try to keep speaking until the end of my mission.
It is weird to thing that I have been gone for 10 months already. But I still have a long time left. But 3 weeks are taken off because of the difference in transfers of the two Portugal missions. So, I have 13 months left, I think.
Thanks for all you guys do for me and all the help and support.
Love,
Elder Spencer Jensen
