Y'all remember Sarah?
Yeah, so her husband DJ loves the church! He has been sharing the Book
of Mormon with his friends and defending us left and right! We had
dinner with them on Monday and it was so fun! We also talked about the
Atonement which is so important for all of us to understand! DJ is
starting to understand that the gospel provides forgiveness, love, and
peace. It is amazing to see how he is learning and growing! I know that
someday he will be sealed to his family in the temple. And that will be
an amazing day!
THE LICE SCARE
On
Tuesday we started exchanges with our sister trainer leaders Sister
Mahoni and Sister Payne. Sister Mahoni came to Mt Airy...and here is
where the crazy starts. On Wednesday morning just before studies we got a
call from Sister Richards, the mission president's wife. She wanted to
ask Sister Mahoni how to check for lice because Sister Mahoni is the
lice expert (she is going to put that on her resume haha). Sister
Richards eventually just asked Sister Mahoni if we would come to the
mission office and check a sister for lice. So, we went. Off to
Columbia! The other sisters met us there and Sister Mahoni checked her
and she DID have lice. And I know what you are thinking. Oh no. Sister
Lewis got lice. No, I didn't get lice...but! The sister who DID have
lice was just serving in Baltimore. So guess who got to go to her last
area to check a sister for lice! THIS SISTER! Haha, we went back to
Towson for a few hours and Sister Richards even bought us lunch at a
little pizza place that I used to eat at every Monday. It was a
bittersweet few hours because I realized how much I miss Baltimore, but
it was good to visit.
Now, BACK TO MT AIRY!
I never got lice, even though I thought I did one morning haha, so that was good!
On
Friday night our ward had a talent show and my companion and I
performed a cute little song about the Restoration! She played a ukulele
that a member let us borrow and I sang. For just learning the chords
and how to strum that day, Sister Sessions did really well on the uke!
We
also met with Mareina twice this week! We talked about the Plan of
Salvation both times and for those of you who have served missions, or
even know about the plan of salvation you know that people can get
confused pretty fast. So I was extremely grateful when Mareina accepted
the things we were teaching and understood with ease! That was a
miracle.
I know that our Father in Heaven has a
hand in our lives. I know that the blessings we enjoy all come from
obedience that we demonstrate to the commandments He has given us. They
are not restrictions on the things we can do, but rather they are guides
to lead us to happiness and freedom to our soul. God loves us, He is
not trying to hinder us! I love Him!
Thank you for all your love and prayers! You are amazing!
Love,
Sister Lewis
