Hello everybody. Greetings f ok super smelly, cold, and wet Reading, Pennsylvania. I've been here for 6 weeks now. It's gone by so fast! I love being a missionary! Here in the PPM ( Pennsylvania Philadelphia mission) it's starting to get cold.it rained a whole bunch last week. I guess it is from the hurricane down south. 
So wasn't conference amazing! There were so many great talks. I really loved it. So other than conference this weekend, it's been a pretty busy week. We had zone conference last Tuesday and we got a device put in our car that tells us if we are going to fast on the road and it's really annoying. But it still helps us drive safely I guess.Wednesday we walked to a town called Blandon which is about five miles away. It was interesting cause there were several times that there would be road kill that we would have to maneuver around. We went there hoping to contact a lot of people, but we didn't contact as many people as we were hoping, but we got some exercise out of it. 
On Saturday between sessions we went up to an all you can eat pot pie banquet. This church is not of our faith and it felt really awkward because there were people who went around with a pot of coffee and asked us if we want some and we always say no thank you. So that was really awkward. 
On Thursday we found this sandwich shop by our house and we tried it out. So I got a cheese steak and it was really good. I have a pic I will send. I felt so fat afterwards though. I really want to go back and get another one. I probably will.
Let me share my testimony. I know that the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the only true church upon the earth. I know that it holds the priesthood of God and that all those keys are held by the prophet of God, Thomas S Monson. I love you all and  I love being a missionary.
Love Elder Shumway
