2nd Weekly Update

I am two weeks into the home mtc and it feels like ive been punched in the face several times. That is very dramatic but this week certainly has been more difficult. Our three hour classes consist of mostly teaching the lessons, which doesnt sound too hard, but its is deceptively humbling. It certainly sucks at times but this is what I signed up for. For the most part, its very fun! (Big thanks to my very optimistic teachers). Big thanks to my gorgeous teacher😏 I must say, things are heating up. She noticed and asked about my blue eyes. That certainly made my week a little better!


Other than my cute teacher, we have been learning so much. Ive seen a huge increase in my faith and testimony! Its incredible to see how far ive come in only two weeks. I am on my way to becoming a true scriptorian!


What I failed to mention last week is that I most likely will not be going straight to Rome. My stake president called and reassigned me to Wichita Kansas! Rome sounds cool but its no Wichita😃


At the end of our last class on friday, my companion and I got put in a breakout room and decided to take a cute picture for our email today. We had our cameras right next to each other so we put our hands up to the edge and made a half heart, combining with both hands to make a full heart(I hope that makes sense, we just wanted to make a heart between us). Anyways, as soon as I was gonna take the picture, my teacher came into the breakout room. My companion and I looked at her like a deer in headlights. Its funny because the look on her face was even worse. It was funny because I got the bright idea to make a heart between the three of us. She was so awesome to join in (basically thats why I like her so much).


Reading and teaching the scriptures/gospel for ten hours a day has introduced me to some amazing scriptures. My favorite this week is about the resurrection of Christ. In Mosiah 16:9 it says "He is the light and the life of the world; yea, a light that is endless, that can never be darkened; yea, and also a life which is endless, that there can be no more death". He really is the light of the world. Him and his gospel are a light in my life. It makes me so happy and so comforted knowing that, because he atoned for our sins, we can be forgiven and return to our loving Heavenly Father again!


Weekly italian: Ti chiedo di benedire la mia mamma (I ask you to bless my mom). I think its fun to say so I add it to my italian prayers!


As my bishop once said, make a difference, be the difference.


Sincerely,
Anziano Lewis
