Please ignore any weird emails from lewiscd79 as my hotmail account was hacked into. It seems everyone on my contact list was sent an email asking for help. All is fine and I am not in London. That account has been frozen and I am working on fixing the problem. Sorry about that. I will be posting the newest email from Elder Lewis soon.

Transfer
I did get transferred. :-/ I was in Brawely for 3 transfers. about 4 months. I liked it there, it's just that missionary work was a little harder. I didn't know it was harder until I got to my new area. Where I am now, it seems like...idk, easy. So many more people, so many more members who are just awesome. We're going to be teaching a lot more. Like a looot more.
btw I'm in El Cajon, CA---pretty cool so far, I like it. It's like all apts. But it's nice. There isn't really a ghetto part of town. Well nothing's really ghetto. For my standards I suppose.
Thanks for everything,
Elder Lewis

Mi cumpleaños fue muy bien
Si, mi cumpleaños fue muy bien gracias. I had kinda like a birthday/dinner at a members home. Familia Morales. They're awesome. Their daughter just returned home from serving a mission in Chicago south. She actually helped us out this morning with a lesson. To be honest the work has been hard and slow. It's taken diligence.
I haven't had any really cool experiences I guess. I mean, none pop out. I can say however, I know I've been lead by the spirit at times. I can see that very clearly and recognize that. There are wonderful people everywhere in the world. There really are people out there being prepared and looking for the gospel.
There is only one way to lasting happiness! It's through the gospel and obedience to the commandments. Laws make us free. What if everyone just did what they wanted to do? The world would be chaos. It's kinda funny too, how I can cross one street on my bike from a bunch of really nice houses, to the projects. The people are sooo different on either side too.
The mission is great. I have tons of work still to do. We're teaching a woman named Maria, a man named Kevin, and an 18 boy named Terrance. Pray for them and for us.

Great, [now that my family has moved], when I get home, they're going to ask me to speak in the singles ward, the ward you used to be in, the Spanish ward, and then the one you're in now...haha.
That's awesome news, Will got into NC State. Longer drive now to go to school though. I haven’t gotten anything yet, because I’m in Brawley. Hopefully we'll get mail and stuff tomorrow. Because President is coming down for missionary training exchange. They bring mail with them. We only get mail every 3 or 4 weeks. It depends. Thanks for all that stuff in advance though! :) Can you believe I’m 21 years old now?! uck! That's old.
Yeah, it's getting hotter. It's in the 100's everyday now. But I was sick like all last week. It wasn't bad, it was like this cold virus that lasted a long time. I was just really tired and weak. But it's going away. It sucked, I just rested the whole time and read my Spanish textbook.
We have a man named Kevin Murrow with a baptismal date on the 20th. That should be real cool. He's an awesome guy.
Well I love you all very much thanks for the emails every week I really do appreciate it.

p.s. I can't believe I’ve been gone for like almost 10 months?! idk long time, it's flying by.

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. :)
