Hey everyone,
Things here are going pretty good this week. We have taught António two times almost every day. He is really progressing and overcoming all of his addictions (and trust me he has a lot haha). But he is progressing a lot and he can´t put the Book of Mormon down. He has difficulty with reading but he has been improving and he is already in 2 Nephi. It is amazing to actually find someone who God as prepared to meet us. His faith in the Savior grows and we can see the difference whenever we go there. He is even praying that his family and friends can receive the Gospel too. He is actually being converted by the Spirit. And I am so glad that the Lord has the confidence in me to help him. We have had so many cool experiences with him. We´ve eaten dinner with him a few times and we are really best friends now. He is a really cool guy who is putting forth an honest effort to overcome the things that have controlled him for the majority of his life. When we first started teaching him, he didn´t even believe in God. But now he has a testimony and is recognizing the love that God has for him.
But things here are doing great. We are making progress everyday in helping the people here. Just like "Preach My Gospel" says, "You will find greater happiness than you have ever experienced as you labor among the Lord´s Children." And that has really come true. I have never been happier in my life. I have never felt this concern for complete strangers and it is awesome.
I love and miss you guys so much, and thanks for all the thinks that you guys do for me.
Love,
Elder Spencer Jensen
