Hola!
So i made it into the Provo MTC here in Utah (Utard haha) and so far so good. Wow, where to start..

| Spencer and his super short companion. |
Other then gym time we have our classroom that w eare assigned to which is whaere we spend most of our time when we have personal or companion study or our lessons with our teacher. No joke, I have learned more Portuguese in this last week then I learnmed Spanish in 2 years. They aren't l;ying when they say they push you right into the pool of language learning. It is so much fun but hard. Actually I had one of those days where I just hated it, my companion and I weren't understanding anything the teacher was saying, our "pesquisedore (investogator)" that we were teaching couldnt understand anything, there were long pauses like no other and that day I just didn't want anything to do with Portuguese. I was getting pretty frustrated, not as frustrated as I get when I get mad in basketball (still your fault dad that you gave me those genes) but I was just down most of the day. That night we had our branch president speak to us and he told us about how to study, reminded us of why were there etc. He also reminded us that we have only been there a couple of days and not to stress over the language. Teaching the gospel and reading preach my gospel and Book of Mormon comes first. JJust the way he explained stuff really jhit me and ther next day my companion and I were ready to go and now we can at least understand soo much more! Crazy how the Spirit gets you fired up!
Overall I am having a blast here, food is good, I am sure I will get sick of it soon (hint hint anyone :D) and our district is hecka chill and cool. This one elder who is in my room looks like the nerdy guy from The Polar Express, no joke dude, that's him! And he is the most by the book person I have ever met!! Holy cow if we are 30 second late getting up in the morning (which is 6:30am) he starts saying that we are in trouble and all that stuff..We just let it go, he is a good guy at heart but honestly...kinda weird haha He ain't my companion so I'm good hahaha
Today we went to the temple and it was amazing. Want to talk about feeling o Espirito (the Spirit)? Today was a big day for that. It felt so great to get out of the MTC and slow down and just relax and have the temple right there available for you. I am running out of time but I will try to get some picture I have taken and try to send them today if not very soon! Dude I did not know serving a mission would be so fun, very hard, but soo worth it dude. Mom thank you for the letter! I will talk to you all next week, oh and if you want to send me letters or packages (hint hint eh ehm mom e papi e meus amigos) then here is my address:
