                                          Elder Lewis here, still hanging in there!!
To kick this off, last week my comp and I took a little nature hike in our sector, 
where we found an old cross thing on the hill, and a cool little ancient rome time building. 
Don't know how to explain it in english, but you get the picture. :)
We also had a nice activity of ping pong with our good pal Mario and his brother, Kevin, in the chapel. 
We had a few tournaments of feroucious ping pong and Hermano Del Rio showed up to show us up. It was a good time, and we were able to give Mario and his brother a tour of the church. 
Our office pals, the Gibby´s, put in work and bought us DUNKIN DONUTS! 
They went quick. 
A classic Boston Creme for your Boston man. 
Speaking of treats, Elder Ranck and I decided to go buy some ice-cream. 
As we walked away very excited with our chocolate soft serve, we realized that we were fasting, and sadly, had to throw out a whole soft serve cone. 
That may have been one of the hardest parts of my mission. 
Through our tears, we made a vow to come back after our fast had ended to get another cone. We returned the next day, and enjoyed a fat cone of soft serve. :)
This week was one of the most special weeks of my mission, because the temple here in Concepcion, the temple that we've been inviting everybody to come visit for over a year, has finally been dedicated. 
President Nelson came to dedicate the temple along with Elder Stevenson. 
We got to watch all 3 sessions of the dedication from the stake center, and it was one of the most special and spiritual moments of my life. 
We got to watch the first session with our mission president, and after the dedicatory prayer, we got up and hugged through a good amount of joyful tears. 
Let me tell you, I wasn't much of a crier before the mission, but im a big big old melted M&M when it comes to life now :) 
Anyways, it's about that time. Time to hit the STREETS!
 
Love you guys, have a great week and stay safe!! 
LOVE YOU ALL!
-Elder Lewis
