2-20-12 Baptism of Bárbara, João and Vitor

Dear Family,
This week I was moved to a new area. I am in a city called Coimbra, it is very pretty and has one of the oldest universities in Europe. I am serving with Elder Galbraith from Suger City, ID. It has been a lot of fun and we have lots of work here to do. This week we found tons of new and interesting people to teach. We baptized these three kids this week. They are siblings and their mom was bpatized 30 years ago but went inactive and my comp and his old comp knocked her door and she let them in and they started teaching the kids and baptized them. They are cool and funny. It was fun to help them get baptized this week. But not much else happened. Thanks for everything.
Love,
Elder Spencer Jensen

Portugal-The Lighthouse of Europe

In the fall of 1981 Elder Boyd K. Packer visited Portugal. During his stay he said to the mission President Harold G. Hillam, "It is going to be in Portugal as it has been in South America, where there has been so much growth and advancement in the Church. The growth in Portugal will be slow at first, but then there will be an explosion."

During a visit by Elder Theodore Tuttle in February of 1983 he said, "Portugal will be the key that will open Europe, and will help the Church grow here in this part of the world."

In 1986, Elder Russell M. Nelson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles said, "Portugal will be covered from north to south and from east to west with stakes of Zion. Chapels will be built in cities and towns throughout the whole land. And as a consequence of the growth of the kingdom of God, this nation will be exceedingly blessed and will become again a great nation as it was in times of old."
