The best two years!

I'm home!!!

President and Sister Lewis, me, and mom and dad

This has been the greatest two years of my life! I cannot think of a better place to have served the Lord than Sacramento. After two years of teaching the gospel, working with the saints, and helping others, my parents came to pick me up and see the greatest mission in the world. We visited people that I had taught and become friends with and it was incredible to share such spiritual experiences with my family. 

I spoke in sacrament meeting the day I arrived and spent the next six days hanging out with my siblings, friends, and reconnecting with the desert and mountains I love so much. Now I am in Logan, UT for school at Utah State University. Life is great!

New address

Smiling for three hours straight. I think it's permanent.

To make it easier to follow emails and updates from me while I'm on my mission, I'm posting to a mission blog here: chrisinsacramento.blogspot.com. I send a weekly email to this blog address and it publishes my letters automatically. See ya there!

Life for two years

I got it today: my mission call to Sacramento, California. I leave August 17th. English speaking. Getting the envelope and opening it, reading the letter and mission information... it was all so surreal. I knew it was coming, but it was just a little unexpected. You know Christmas day, when you've been waiting all year, and then it's finally here? It's like "Woah man, it's Christmas." except it's "Woah man, I'm living in California for two years to teach the gospel." You know? Crazy.

Now the shock has worn off a little, I'm pretty excited. Sacramento is right. Life is good.
