We are Ron and Shanon Sommer and we are serving a mission in Portugal for 23 months for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Our first .area is the Algarve, which is located along the southern coast of the country. There are 6 branches in this district. We will be living in a city called Olhao. We are excited for this experience and hope that we will be instruments in the hands of the Lord in furthering the work. Our mission officially begins on February 18 when we check into the MTC in Provo. We will be in Portugal on March 1, 2013.
