Dear Sister Lewis...

I was expecting my mission call on Wednesday, but unfortunately it didn't come due to (we think) Thanksgiving. BUT, It came on Friday!!! I was so anxious and nervous to open it! I had no idea where I was going, It changed every day. 


I had my family, some aunts and uncles, cousins, Grandma and Grandpa King, the Crandalls, Jayci, and Jade and the Collettes on skype there to watch me open it! And this is where i'm going...


NEW YORK, NEW YORK SOUTH MISSION!!!
SPEAKING SPANISH!


 When I was opening it I was trying extra hard not to look where I was going before I got to that line. But how can you not see it when its the line below.."to serve as a missionary.." I felt so happy! I am beyond excited to go serve in New York! It still doesn't feel real, but I know it is. I leave to the MTC on February 20th, 2013. After that I stopped and everyone cheered then I thought well I better keep reading...and good thing I did cause i'm speaking Spanish!! There's a funny story to this, the Lord has a sense of humor because I am absolutely AWFUL at speaking Spanish. My Junior High teacher would honestly make fun of me. Haha. I know the only way I will be able to succeed in speaking Spanish is with the Lords help. I am so excited to serve a mission and I know I will be blessed because of it! I cannot wait to go to New York and serve the people there! 
I'm going to miss my little sister Ali so much!! She is such a sweetheart. 
Future Missionaries right here! Funny thing is..he will be sending me off on my mission now! :)  I am so thankful for Hunter, he has been such an amazing example and support to me through all of this! I can't wait to write him on our missions! 

Markel also opened her call last night and is going to Houston, Texas speaking Spanish!! I am so excited for her!! And i'm glad she is speaking Spanish too :)

Thankful

This year for Thanksgiving we went to my Grandpa Gordon's with the Lewis side. It was so much fun to have everyone there! (besides a few that couldn't make it) I am so thankful for my family, they give me so much love and support and I am SO blessed to have them!! I am so grateful for everything that I have in my life, amazing people and examples all around me.

One down, two to go!

Last night Hunter opened his mission call! He is serving in the Ghana, Accra, Africa mission!! It was such a special night and i am SO excited for him! I am so proud of his decision and worthiness, he has been such a great example to me since the day i met him three years ago! The people in Ghana will absolutely love him.

Two to go...next week Markel (Hunters older sister) and I will open our mission calls! This is such an exciting time of our lives and I am so grateful for the opportunity to serve the Lord! I can't wait to see where Markel and I go!!
