BUT! Charles Town is AMAZING! The
people here are so nice and my companion, Sister Feinga, is so awesome!
She is from Tonga and we all know that Tongans are some of the nicest
people ever! I love her so much! She is such an amazing teacher and has
such a powerful testimony of the gospel.
Very
quickly, this week we started teaching a girl named Ashley (haha it's
fun teaching someone with your sister's name). She is so cool! She was
given to us as a referral twice by two different sets of
missionaries. It's obvious that Heavenly Father is preparing her and
wants her to learn about the restored gospel. She was raised going to
church with her grandma and has an amazing understanding of the Bible.
When we taught her about the Restoration, it made so much sense to her
and she totally accepted Joseph Smith as a prophet. She is reading from
and praying about the Book of Mormon and this weekend she is so excited
to hear from the living prophet in general conference! She is planning
to be baptized on October 24!
Speaking
of general conference, I would like to encourage everyone to invite a
friend to watch it with them! It is going to be amazing and what a
wonderful opportunity that we have to witness 3 new apostles called and
sustained. The Spirit will surely be there!
This
weekend, Sister Feinga and I were able to go down to the Washington DC
Temple Visitors Center for Sister Feinga to perform at a Polynesian
Culture Celebration. She did a Tongan dance! It was awesome! I got to
see the Haka (spelling?) performed and the hula and many other
Polynesian dances! A less-active member of our ward came and loved it!
It was awesome!
I love you all and thank you for your prayers and love!
Love,
Sister Lewis
