6th Weely

  Derby? Never heard of her....

Good afternoon yall (from Kansas! Derby, Kansas that is). This is my first week in the field and so far, it's not too bad but it's a whole lot different than home mtc. Now I actually have to wake up at 6:30. Our apartment has a gym so that is fantastic news. 

The work here in Kansas consists of a lot of Facebook work. We are on our phones a lot but the problem is, I don't have a Sim card (I only have connection through wifi) and the wifi at our apartment is so terrible. The only time I can use my phone effectively is at the church. Other than that, I like to teach. That doesn't mean Im good though. I usually have a lot running through my head and can't put it in to words. That's were my trainer comes in! He's only been out for 3 months but he likes to talk. We are completely different people but have one thing in common: the gospel. So we get along well so far. 

One cool experience we had was talking to a recent convert. She loves to talk and I love to listen (dynamic duo). Yesterday, she was talking about tithing and blessings from God. One thing that stuck out to me was "if you were to wake up and only have what you thanked God for the pervious day, could you be well off". I like this because everything we have is all thanks to God. He blesses is in so many ways that we may not think of. My personal invite is to be grateful. That reminds me, it is November so we should be thankful anyways! Just be extra thankful 😌

Some other cool things happened this week. I learned how to solve a rubix cube 2/3 of the way and my companion learned to play the mine craft music on this weird little instrument. Also we bought candy for Halloween and nobody came to our door:(

I appreciate and am thankful for all of you

Italian of the week: if anyone talks to you in Italian (because that happens a lot) you can say "non capiso" which is I don't understand or "non parlo l'Italiano" which is I don't speak Italian

Vi voglio bene,

Anziano Lewis
