Start of Week 6 in the field

Hi Yall!

This past week, we have been trying to find new people to teach as well as pick up some less active families who are part member families as well. It has been an adventure as well as certainly much exercise. We have been tracting many neighborhoods in hopes that we will find someone to teach. So long story short, we have not had anything too crazy happen this past week.


On Tuesday, i got to ride in a slug bug convertible (stick shift) on my way to Chili's. I have never ever ridden in a slug bug convertible nor have I been to Chili's before. We had a less active member take us out to dinner there and she drove us. It was a cool experience!! The food was good, and the weather was great!!


Also this week, we met with our investigator, Betty (73 year old). Betty has decided that we are her adopted grandkids. So a couple of weeks ago, she gave us these Easter bunnies with chocolate in them and some mini pies. This past week, she bought Sister Fox and I each our own can of spray whip cream as well as a pie from Village Inn for us to share. To explain the whip cream thing, there was one of the visits we had where Betty had Sister Fox and I compete to see who could stack our whip cream the highest on our pie.  Then Betty challenged us to spray the whip cream in our mouths. She even tried to start a whip cream war as a joke. So now, every time we go to Betty's house, she talks about the times we had the cans of whip cream. HAHAHA. She is my favorite person to teach. However, she is not progressing (we think she is getting dimensia), so we got permission from the mission president to just do lunch with her and a spiritual thought as a service for her. I think that it will be great to do this for her. She has a grandson living with her, but he never talks with her very often and he mostly stays in his room. So she always tells us how much fun we are and how she loves us and since we are practically like her grandchildren, she says she loves to spoil us. HAHA. I love her so much! she is such a sweet lady.

So for the ward I am in, we are doing this big family history event, where there will be a presentation from a senior missionary couple whose calling is to help people with family history. There will also be one on one help after the presentation given by me and my companion, as well as the missionaries from the ward that shares the church building with us. It is open to the community, so i am hoping that we have a great turn out and that many people will be interested in setting up appointments to meet with us to hear about the gospel.


With that, I encourage all of you to do your family history and to find out more about your ancestors! As well as teach a friend how to do their family history!
Spiritual thought this week: " And whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is right, believing that ye shall receive, behold it shall be given unto you. Pray in your families unto the Father, always in my name, that your wives and your children may be blessed." 3 Nephi 18:20-21
I know that as you pray sincerely, and with real intent, that you will be blessed, and that as you pray in your families, your families will be strengthened. I love you all! hope you have a good week!!
go to lds.org and watch the new Easter video the church put out. It is called Prince of Peace.

Love,

Sister Lewis
