week 10

Hello everybody! Greeting from your favorite missionary Elder Shumway.
Everything is going great her in Pennsylvania! It's getting colder and
it will probably start snowing soon. The highlight of my week was
going to the priesthood restoration site which was sweet. My mission
is just so awesome! I'll send some pics.

The work is picking up a lot more. We have two with a baptismal date
and we want to have one more by the end of this week. This week I went
on exchange twice and both times I had to stay in my area. It was
really sweet cause I was in charge! Thursday was probably one of my
best days on my mission. I went on exchange with Elder Curtis who is
one of our zone leaders and is a boss. We talked to so many people it
was just great. One guy that I mainly talked to because we were both
talking to so many people we kind of had to go one on one with some
people. The young man I was talking to was named Cahan.
and I was talking to him about the restoration and about the Book of
Mormon. He seemed really interested. It was awesome.

We also had a great lesson on Saturday night. It was with one of our
investigators who's name is Cory. Cory is the girlfriend of our less
active man who we are also teaching. His name is Bro Moore. Cory
really enjoyed the lesson, but was a little overwhelmed. But we are
taking it slow. So we aren't asking her to be baptized yet until a few
more lessons in.

Dante and Danielle are still progressing. We are trying to go over
there at least twice a week. Ever since we have been teaching them we
always thought they were like a couple and living together. If that
was the case they would have to either get married or separate in
order to be baptized. But thankfully we just found out they are
brother and sister! So everything is still good.

Miss you all. Please don't hesitate on writing me back. I would live
anyone to write me. Anyways I miss all of you. I know that the church
is true and that the Book of Mormon is also true. I also know that the
priesthood of God is once again on the earth.

Mom,
Yep it's week 10! It's gone by really fast! I think of you a lot too.
I try and write good letters. I do have an I pad. It's pretty sweet. I
haven't seen a bill either for it. Yeah it's getting cold and it's only gonna
get colder. Thank you so much for sending the electric blanket and shoes. I haven't gotten them
yet so I'll be expecting them. I have not played ball lately cause we had to go to
Susquehanna  for p day. We are playing today. Cindy does write really
long emails and a lot of it is just weird.

Dante and Danielle are making really great progress. We are super
excited! That's great to hear that the ward got some new converts!
Yeah I heard that Katrina is getting married. I got the invitation in
the mail.

The restoration site was really awesome. I will send you some
pictures. Ugh I wish I could play softball. I remember it being so
much fun. Carson would make a great pitcher. I didn't get that video
of josh I just got a picture. He is still skinny, but his hair looks
different. That's great that he is getting more confident. He's gonna
need that when he goes on his mission.

I know your phone number. I'll try and get a picture to you.

1: No cause it's to dangerous here. People steal them and a lot of
missionaries get hit. Also the mission says no.
2: The week of thanksgiving.
3: He is not dumb.

1 Do you see yourself ever on a bike?
2 When is next transferes?  
3 What is something that you like about Elder Lewis?

Love Elder Shumway

Hey Lila. I'm doing great how are you? Sorry you got a B! Schools do
that sometimes. Sounds like you're doing a lot of fun things. What are
you gonna be for Halloween? This week we went on exchanges twice. They
were both great exchanges. I'll send you a few videos of what we did.
It was also a very successful week in the way of missionary work.
Dante and Danielle are progressing a lot and we have another
investigator who we feel is almost ready for a date. I hope I get them
too.
Love Elder Shumway
