Things are going well. It's been hot here in El Cajon. Like 100's ugh, I thought I escaped, but nope! I'm getting tan. Last night we committed two people for baptism. It was a miracle how we found them.
We were leaving an appointment and walking in through the parking lot was a family. They came up and said hi and stuff. And it turned out he was a member. But left the church when he was 15. To make a long story short his 12 year old son wants to get baptized and go on a mission already. And his wife said she would be baptized too. Anyways they've really been prepared by the Lord. And to them, or vice versa. Because we're NEVER where we were. Never...and we just happened to be there when they got there. Nuts.
Anyways I gtg, I love you all. And don't worry about me I’m fine :)
I hope everything back home is going well.
I pray for all of you every day and night
Love Elder Lewis

We must carry forward
Bueno, voy a practicar mi español escrito. Sabe qué? Pienso a estudiar en el extranjero cuando me vuelvo. Tengo en realidad ser inmersiado en español si lo va a perfeccionar. Estoy hablando mucho mas español, ya que no trabajo en un barrio de ingles no mas. Puro español.
Tengo que aprender árabe, o caldean. Demasiados de ellos aquí. Todos son de Iraq. Se mudan aquí todos.
Bueno, si, la obra sigue yendo. Hay que llevar adelante. Me gusta la rama donde me encuentro. Hay muchas más personas en comparación de La Rama Brawley.
Anteayer tuve la oportunidad de cantar en una charla fogonera (fireside). Fue en la capilla donde empecé mi misión. Pude ver todos los miembros que extrañé y también unos conversos recientes. Fue bien suave y me agradó mucho.
Estoy agradecido que tengo un acento. Creo que es una mezcla entre Puertorriqueño, Peruano, y Mexicano. Pero yo no hablo mexicano mexicano. Hablamos "frontera" (border). Hay tantas palabras ingleses que se usan aquí en la frontera. "Empuchar" haha-- to push, raidte-(ride) haha "Yo te wacho" I'll watch you. Si no se la palabra en español, lo digo en ingles y casi siempre me entienden.
Hemos visitado a lo mejor, 70 investigadores antiguos. Quizá mas. Estamos agregando y ensenando mas que lo que habían hecho en el pasado, pero los investigadores no son de buena calidad. Vamos a empezar a trabajar más con los miembros aquí, porque hay muchos y todos son bien buenos.
Yo solamente recuerdo como un misionero de cuando vivimos en Nueva York. El único que me comprometió a hacer algo. A invitar un amigo a escuchar a ellos. Todos los miembros saben que es su deber de predicar el evangelio y a invitar. Es difícil porque muchos quieren, pero no saben cómo.
Bueno, voy a escribir mi carta al presidente Donaldson.
Les Quiero muchísimo, que se cuiden mucho
btw. Oye Will: hay misionero aquí de donde serviste. Bueno, Manila. Estaba hablando con el and called him ugly, cause that's all I know how to say. haha, I know pangit ka, salamat po, maganda ganda, guapo. tubig asin-----we were talkin and like there are tons of words in Spanish that are exactly the same. Like toons. It was funny. So we'll be able to communicate a little. lol

Well, I am going to practice my written Spanish. Guess what? I think I’d like to study abroad when I return. In fact I must be immersed in Spanish to be perfect. I'm speaking a lot more Spanish, since not working in an English district any more. Pure Spanish.
I have to learn Arabic, or broth. Too many of them here. All are from Iraq. They move everyone here.
Well, yes, the work is going. We must carry forward. I like the branch where I am. There are many more people in comparison to the Brawley Branch.
The day before yesterday I had the opportunity to sing for a fireside. It was in the chapel where I began my mission. I could see all the members whom I missed and also some recent converts. It went very smooth and I liked a lot.
I am grateful that I have an accent. I think it's a mix of Puerto Rican, Peruvian, and Mexican. But I do not speak Mexican Mexican. We talked “border”. There are so many English words used here at the border. "Empuchar" haha - to push, raidte-(ride) haha "I'll wacho" I'll watch you. If I don’t know the word in Spanish, I say it in English and they understand me almost always.
We have visited perhaps, 70 old investigators. Maybe more. We are adding and learning rather than what they had done in the past, but the investigators are not of good quality. We will start working more with the members here, because there are many and all are quite good.
I remember only one missionary when we live in New York. The only one I pledged to do something. To invite a friend to listen to them. All members know that it is their duty to share the gospel and invite. It is difficult because many want, but do not know how.
Well, I am going to write my letter to president Donaldson.
I love you so much, take care
btw. Hey Will: missionary here is where you served. Well, Manila. I was talking to him and call him ugly, cause that's all I know how to say. haha, I know pangit ka, salamat po, ganda Maganda, handsome. asin tubig ----- and like we where talkin There are tons of words in Spanish That are Exactly the same. Like toons. It was funny. So we'll be Able to communicate a little. Lol
