I'm sitting here with Elder Lewis, my "companion", as he packs up his room. 

He was officially set apart as a missionary this afternoon, so I get the honor of being his companion. 

We met at our Stake Presidents house today at 2:30pm.

This guy walked in as Grant Lewis 

and out the door as Elder Lewis.

Our good Stake President gave him a beautiful blessing with some sweet and comforting promises.

Things are getting real over here.

You know what, all this work and heartache and stress and planning....

it's ALL WORTH IT!

I know that!

And that's why I'm willing to do this all again.
