Hello família
This week we had our first zone conference with president and sister Prieto. They are cool, and also alot different than president and sister Tobias. To me they are more like parents, president always calls us sons and daughters and not elders and sisters. He is more laid back too. They also brought with them 5 kids to stay with them during their mission, they are all grown up and i think they wil help out alot. We took pictures with them but the mission hasn´t sent us the pics yet. It´s sad i won´t be able to get to know them very well but the time i´ll be here with them will be great. Everything is going good here and i´m still eating good and healthy. See you all later tchau. Elder Lewis.

Oi família,
How´s everything going there? Everything is going good here. We are working hard to have a baptism this week. Nothing really exciting happened this week. Just that my comp hurt his ankle a little bit and we have to walk slow now. But we found lots of people to teach this week and we are really busy. We aslo have been teaching our comps english. They already knew some but we are helping them talk better. It´s also helping me talk better because i sound like a retard when i talk in english. Congrats on all the baby stuff, sounds like this week was a busy week for your all. But that´s all i have for now, see you all later and ask questions if you have any. Elder Lewis.

Hello família,
This week was a good week but the only bad part was that our baptisms fell through. We had 2 baptisms planned for this week but on sunday they were´nt home. We´ll see what happened to them this week. The weather here has been great, not too hot and it is also cooling down alot at night. This morning we did a little re arranging in the house, the other elders changed rooms and we had to move everything. We just about broke our closet thing but that´s why someone invented super glue! We also installed a fan and brazilian wiring is always a sight to see, if the wires don´t explode it means they did it right. There is no such thing as matching the colors or anything, there´s no pattern or rules in eletricity. I don´t know the exact date i will get home. It will either be oct 27 or 28. But if i can´t go visit the mtc to see trent i was thinking in coming home 1 transfer early which will be sep 15 or 16. But i still have to talk to president prieto, he hasn´t done any interviews yet. It´s hard to talk to him because we have to send our weekly letter through the mail now, with president tobias we used to send emails and it was easier for him to respond to us. But i will do all i can to try to visit the mtc. But everything will work out. I´m still doing good here and i´m loving jatai. See you all later tchão. Elder Lewis.
8/02/2010...TODAY!
Hey everyone!
My p day moved to monday so you all have to email me earlier now. But this week was transfer week and no one in our district got transfered. I´m still here in jatai. I still have the same comp too. Nothing much is new here. This week someone started a fire in the brush and no one did anything and it spread into a huge brushfire, i took some pics but i´ll send them later. We are still working hard trying to find the elects. Keep praying for us here in the field. But we are all doing good here, everyone is healthy and strong. Its starting to get a bit warm but i´m used to the heat. Anything new in mesa? How´s everyone doing? That´s about it for this week see you all later. Tchau Elder Lewis.
