So,
Mount Airy is just about the cutest little town you ever did see! I
will have to take pictures for my email next week. Along with serving in
the cutest little town I have the cutest little companion haha! Her
name is Sister Jeppson and we hit it off really well! We are both a
bunch of goobs so you can imagine I am having a lot of fun with her!
We
are teaching 6 people as of right now. That is a big jump from
Baltimore haha so it's weird getting used to studying for a new
investigator almost every day.
Our first
investigator is named Sarah and I can't think of her last name at the
moment. She has been living with her boyfriend for almost 11 years and
has two kids with him. They are such a cute little bunch! She started
meeting with the sister missionaries almost a year ago. She was "just
trying to be nice." Haha, many of us know how that often turns out. She
LOVES the Book of Mormon! It is so marked up and she knows it very well!
She wants to get baptized but hasn't been able to for a long time
because her boyfriend DJ hasn't wanted to get married. We had an awesome
lesson with her last week and left her with a promise that is too
personal for this email. But it was inspired 
Then,
the next day, her boyfriend agreed to get married!!!! They are getting
married in May and she will get baptized soon after that. Pray for for
her, please!
We are also teaching a girl
named E.V. who has dreadlocks and tattoos all over and five kids! She is
so awesome!!! I will take a picture next time we see her she is also a
goob! Anyway, she loves everything we teach and is fascinated by Joseph
Smith. It's hard for her to come to church because of her kids and her
crazy life as a single mom, but we are working on helping her! Pray for
her, please!
We are also teaching Lisa who is
the mother of Grace and the grandmother of Vinny! Lisa and Grace are our
investigators and Vinny sits in (he's only 6). We taught him how to
pray and it was so sweet! We asked him, "Vinny, when can you pray?" and
he said, "Anytime!" So cute! They are having a hard time keeping
commitments, but we are also working on helping them with that! Pray for
them, please!
We are also teaching Dale and
Maria. They are 7th day adventists. Our lessons with them are CRAZY! If
anyone has any experience with this, please let me know! I'd love the
input! We love them lots! Pray for them, please!
This
area is so much fun and there is lots of work to do! The members are
wonderful! I'll have to tell you more about them next week! For now, I
love you all! Thank you for all your support and love and prayers! Keep
it coming!!
Love,
Sister Lewis
