The Last Week at the CCM

With my companion, a runner from New Mexico.

 Pointing to my mission in Peru.

 My district.

This is the courtyard that is between all the buildings. In the back is the cafetieria on the right and the auditorium in the same building and on the left is the admin building. There is also the class room that I spend all day in.

This is a Elder Andersen from Nashville. He is in my district and lived in May Hall last year. I saw him around but never talked to him or anything.  Now we're great friends.

A Few More Addresses

Tanner will leave the MTC (otherwise known as the CCM down in Peru) in 2 more weeks.  After that, you can mail letters and packages to his mission home in Chiclayo.  Here it is:

Elder Tanner McRae Lewis

Peru Chiclayo Mission

Calle Los Alamos 128

Urb. Santa Victoria

Chiclayo, Lambayeque

PERU

Of course, the Pouch system still works great.  You can only send a single page letter, but it gets there much faster and more reliably.  Use regular postage because it's just going to SLC and then they take care of the rest!

Address is:

Elder Tanner McRae Lewis

Peru Chiclayo Mission

POB 30150

Salt Lake City, UT 84130-0150

Lastly, his email address is the easiest by far:

tannermlewis@myldsmail.net

The Best Two Years Movie

Here's the video Tanner was talking about.  If you've ever wondered what an LDS missionary does for 2 years, here's a good idea.

Tanner also added, "Tell everyone to read Alma 17 through 19 and look for ways to be a missionary to serve!"

Independence Day and A Field Trip to Carnal

 Here are some soccer jerseys we got at some garages on our P-day. (P-day stands for Preparation Day.  It's the one day we get off from classes to take care of laundry, shopping etc...)The Barcelona, Manchester and Dutch ones are mine.

 On the bus to go proselyting.  Super nervous because my companion for the day knows zero Spanish.

 Peru Independence Day with my district and teacher.

 The big famous temple in the background

 This was the road at times we drove on in these huge tour busses. We drove through the jungle, crossed a river, and drove on this cliff next to the ocean which was on a massive sand dune.

 July 1st, 2014

At the Atlanta airport, he met these other missionaries all going down to Peru.

 His Roommates at the MTC.

 Temple Day with his District.

In the front of the CCM (MTC for us English speakers).  His companion is from Farmington, New Mexico.
