Family,
This past week has been so good. I am so anxious
to hear about the wedding. I want to know all that happened and see if one of
the Browning's could send me a couple of pictures from it. Where did they go
for their honeymoon? Where do they plan on living? I want to know what is going
on.
Last week was John's baptism. It was SO good!
What a blessing it was to be apart of it! Everyone was saying that this kind of
baptism was a once in a mission baptism. It is just awesome because both he and
his wife are so solid and wonderful. Not that others aren't...now I am digging
myself into a hole. Anyway, it was so good. John came into the building a
little nervous but Audrey was all smiles. He didn't want to wear the suit. He
called it his jail suit because of the look of it. Ha. He is so funny. He
looked great all in white. So many people from the ward were there. What is
cool is that John and Audrey have been coming to church for about 2 years now
so they know a lot of people. They are in a "empty nesters" group in
the ward where they do a bible type study and that is how they were introduced
to the church. Two years ago they had NO plan on joining the church. Now look
at them. Ah, I love them so much. They are like second family to me. I'm so
excited for you all to meet them! You will love them and they will love you.
Sunday was the confirmation and it was so good. John just kept smiling. He and
Audrey left after the 3 hour block to go to their beach house. He texted us
that night to tell us thanks. I sure will miss them for the couple of weeks
that they will be gone.
Now that the baptism is over it has been pretty
slow in our area. It is kind of anti-climatic unfortunately. When you are
blessed to teach someone who is so ready, it is hard when you teach those who
aren't really interested. People don't return your calls or they are always
busy. It makes me so sad. I wish that people would just experience it and know
how true it is and happy they could be. We are praying to find the elect. Pray
that we will. We have been so blessed so I am not complaining at all. I know
all contacts are good because that means that they are one step closer to
excepting the gospel. Heavenly Father is so aware of His children so I know all
will be well.
This week in our training meeting at the VC the
trainers (i.e. me and the other 3) are doing a skit. Yes, my theater side got
the best of me and we wrote a Christmas Carol type of skit to go along with our
theme for this upcoming Festival of Lights. We have a rehearsal right after I
write this letter and I am nervous because a lot of people who are now involved
said that I am way ambitious for this one and that makes me nervous. It was so
fun to write so I hope it all turns out ok. I just want the sisters to enjoy it
and feel the Spirit. It should only be about 15-20 min long but there is a cast
of about 15. Don't know how many will actually be in the audience but oh well.
Pray that it will work. I shouldn't let my creative side out because I don't
have the proper time for it to be at it's best. Oh well. Heavenly Father is so
good to me that he sent me to a mission that I could be able to do something
that I love. We shall see how it turns out.
Well that is about it. It is coming down to the
wire now. It doesn't seem real that it is coming to a close. I know that my
body is ready but in my mind it still seems like a have a lot of time left. I
do. It is 4 weeks which is SO much time. I hope that I can do good with the
time I have left. I sure do miss you all so much though. I am very excited to see
my family and friends. It is time.
I love you all so much. Keep me updated on all
that is new and awesome. I will see you all soon kind of!
Love you!
Sister Lewis
