Dear Family, Well, I got transferred to the mainland again. Now, I am zone leader of the Lisbon zone and my area is called Alverca. It is a very cool area and has a lot of people. I am getting used to walking and it has cause a couple blisters but nothing that I can't handle haha. My new comp is from Brazil, his name is Elder Costa. He is cool and only has nine months in the mission and he has a lot of fire to work. It will be good to help him and to also learn from him. Today we had mission council and Elder Teixeira, the Area President, came and gave us a training. He taught us about the power we can get from our calling and how being a good leader and a good missionary is learning to repent very quickly haha. And he also spoke about how we should focus on finding and baptizing families and that is what will help the Church grow in Portugal. I will have to write a letter with all that I have learned lately with President Fluckiger. He is an amazing teacher and has a huge knowledge of the Gospel. He has taught us a lot about the process of conversion and how that works. But things here are going great and I am going to put my best into the last few months that I have here in Alverca. Thanks for all you guys do for me. Love, Elder Spencer Jensen
