Training
Yep, I'm training. He's a good kid. We get along fine. He's doing real well. I don't have to tell him to do stuff all the time, nor do I have to involve him in the lessons by myself. That's really good. I don't like "1 1/2" missionaries in a companionship. I'm glad he's my companion. He's learning a lot and really wants to be here and learn Spanish. P-days on Tuesdays are cool I guess. We taught a couple good lessons yesterday and committed one guy for baptism. He accepted. Pretty awesome.
Yea there was another earthquake. It was like 4 strong jerks then stopped. there were a couple other little ones I felt too.
Working hard...it's getting hotter, buy the past few days it was been unusually cool! like 70's!!! whooo! we have to take advantage of that, before it hits 100, then 110, then 120
O yeah, my b-day is coming up! I just bought 2 short sleeve white shirts. So I'm good on shirts. I have a lot of ties, but I could always go for a new tie. Hmm, I could use another pair of shoes. One pair is kinda falling apart, I need to glue it back. My other pair I've been wearing in the mean time. And they're getting worn. I could use a pair for when I go to church and stuff.
I don't have watch, I could use a nice modest watch. umm, sunglasses---but I'll get those, cause most don't fit my head , I have to buy some.
Well, yep

Hi Everybody,
Yea it was really nice talking on the phone. I only get to call home 2 more times. yuck! I'm old already. (on the mission) Idk how long I've been out I think it's like 9 months. The time is just flying by.
Yea transfers happened Wednesday. I got a new companion. I was a little sad because my last companion and I got a long pretty well. We had a lot of fun too. I'm training now. My new companion is Elder Jones. From Kerns, Utah. somthin' like that. He's here straight from the MTC. It's nice though, because he's really excited and optimistic about his mission.
Having to train someone also keeps me at my best. 'Cause I have to do my best so he doesn't settle for anything less later on. It's going well though. It's a different experience. His Spanish is OK too. He was in the MTC for Spanish, and he seemed to study it a lot there, so he'll pick it up fast.
The work is going fine. We're adding new investigators now often. The branch has asked us to find "new blood" so that's what we're doing. It's cool though. I do magic to people and stuff. One time I got this big group of like 20 kids watching me do card magic.
It's starting to get hotter out. Poco a poquito. It's been windy the past couple days. Oh, and btw, P-days are now on Tuesdays...
Pretty soon, we'll have tv's in our apts. So we can watch the new Preach My Gospel Movies. I'm pretty sure I'll be in it somewhere. Hopefully it's not embarrassing. Also--we can't text. We'll be able to text soon, by the end of the summer. That would help out a ton! '
Everything is going just fine. We're working hard and seeing little miracles everyday. :)

Hola
Hola,
It's starting to get hot. Yesterday it was 95 when we went by the bank. But it's not that hot yet. Like that isn't bad for out here. But pretty soon I'm going to buy a camel pack-backpack.
We're working hard. It's nice to go to bed knowing you've done a hard honest days work. I'm glad i do that. It's not that hard for me, but for others it is. anyways, I love you all very much.

I'm Really Happy!
I'm really happy. And happy I’m serving a mission. It's changing my liiiife. I love Spanish now too. That alone will change my life.
And I’m using that to change lives here. And people’s lives really are changing! I'm happy to say that all 4 of my recent converts are active. I talk to them every once in a while. We're friends

Earthquake and Conference
Hi,
Yea my 1st earthquake. Kinda cool. We had a good Easter. We watched conference, then started to drive home, almost home we hit a light and just everything started to shake. It was weird, like we were in the ocean. Pretty odd feeling. It emptied a ton of water from our pool. We got there and the pool had waves in it and splashing over the edge and stuff.
Some stuff well down in our apt. Our fridge got pushed to the middle of our kitchen.
I remember mom making us go to conference and stuff when I was young. I hated it, it was boring. But who knows. Maybe it's had a lasting effect on me. I don't know. I don't remember anything significant from those days.
But now I really do have a testimony of the leaders of our church. Especially Thomas S. Monson. I like the way he uses all the… I don't remember what it's called, when you use consonants and stuff right after each other in different words etc.[alliterations] Or what did he say "the snow cap of old age" idk something like that. Then Jeffrey Holland’s "blast a crater in your brain" they're pretty good public speakers. But they do it modestly and plainly, which is even more profound.
I listened to Priesthood session in Spanish. I could understand most everything. Every once in a while there was a word I didn't know.
Thanks mom for the email and the pictures. Sorry I didn't email last week. I was lazy and the computer wasn't working right, and then I played soccer ha-ha. I love you very much and thank you for the way you raised me. There were a lot of talks about mothers and how to raise kids, and the home etc.

Everythings Going Fine
Everything is going just fine here. I have a bike I’m using. It's good. I bought a helmet. I need to get lights. It's a pretty small town out here though. Like streets a barren a lot. But we're working a lot. Yea I’m speaking a lot of Spanish again. Now that the branch is open. It's going good. Yesterday took a hit though. Because of day lights savings time. Not as many people there.
We're really working hard with all the less actives though. We've GOT to get them to church. They've got to make that commitment. Everyone is really nice here though. All the non-members here are really nice. People wave to us and honk their horns and say hi all the time.
It's gonna get hot soon though.
Love, Elder Lewis
There was a fair a week ago. We set up a missionary table thing outside it. I tried to do magic to people. I did. It had some success. But I think I just freaked people out more than anything ha-ha. Now they probably think we're some devil church. I was doing too good of tricks. Then is started to rain!! Ugh. We got soaked.
