Arriving Group 13 Jan 2016, Evening

2016-12-13-arriving-group-61While waiting for our two Mexico MTC missionaries to arrive, we took some time with the Hermanas here to tell them a bit about our family and who we are.  We have been here 1.5 years now, and our family has grown.  We’ve added a son-in-law and our first grandchild.

This is our family:  Graham and Claire Lewis Johnson, Pres. Lewis with baby Clark, Sis. Lewis, Aaron Lewis, Adam and Heidi Lewis, proud parents.  This photo was taken last month when they came for Thanksgiving.2016-11 Lewis Family.jpg

Then we talked about things in the WYM and how we’re organized.  We explained the stakes and zones and wards and where and how the Spanish work done here.  We talked about each part of the mission and what the areas are like.  We talked about the wonderful members who help us every day in every place.  We told them this is a great place to be a missionary–for 100s of reasons!2016-12-13-arriving-group-632016-12-13-arriving-group-652016-12-13-arriving-group-66Elder and Sister Call went to the Yakima Air Terminal to pick up Hermana Tolliver and Elder Hodges when they came in this evening.  They brought them to the Mission Home at about 7:00.  2016-12-13-mexico-arrivals2016-12-13-arriving-group-68Dinner was waiting.
