Hello mother. My week was okay. We had a lot of appointments cancel this week. We did a lot of street contacting and tracting. We also went on exchanges and the was interesting cause I went with elder Torres who is a Spanish elder and he would speak Spanish a lot and I would have no idea what he was saying. 

I knew you would stock me. Our house is old, and small. But our yard is huge, but during the winter we won't have to move it because there is snow instead. It's only me and elder Lewis that live here. Right now elder jolley and oldroyd are here and want to do their laundry here and go to the store with us.  Our house is two story but we never go to the second floor cause it's hot up there. The house finally got ac a few days before I got here, but it only works on the first floor. It's starting to get colder though so I hope the heater works well.

Thanks for telling me about sis slade. Hopefully she will get better. I am praying for her here. I love the temple too. I haven't been for a little but and I can feel the difference in my life. I can't wait for the philly temple to come. 

Great to hear how Carson is doing and that he is making good decisions. I never had any worry for Lila in school, she is really smart. I'm not suprised that Sam chose fishing. It was pretty cold yesterday, the high was about 69 degrees. Thanks for sending me a package, a lot of other elders get packages and it makes me jealous.

1. Do you get feed every night by members?

A: no not every night we did get fed last night though.

2. Is the weather getting cold yet?

A: it is starting to get colder. Elder Lewis says October is sweater weather and then November and December is jackets.

3. What is your favorite scripture you read this week?

my favorite was 2 Nephi 26:23

A: there's one that we have been sharing quite a bit because we have a high amount of older people with health problems. It's ether 12:27.

I think I'm alright right now but I might need some things in the future.

Love you too, 

Elder Shumway (:
