week. Got pretty busy. I'm doing well. Living it out here in the
mission. Hope everybody is doing well in the 100 plus heat. We had a
gnarly storm last night. It knocked over a tree that was down the
street from our apartment. Will send a picture.
The best thing that happened that happened this week was that we set
one of our investigators with a baptismal date. We set it for July
3rd. Please pray for him. His name is Sabir, he's an older black guy.
He ordered a Book of Mormon. When people order one of those that means
they are interested in learning more about the church. He is looking
for religion and he is looking for the truth. He is very prepared. It
was also his birthday a couple of days ago and we were able to get him
ice cream sandwiches and donuts to celebrate. He said that made his
day.
Well that's all I have time for today. Love you all. The church is
true and important and more people need to join it.
Love Elder Shumway
Hello. Things in Wilmington are okay. I've seen that it's in the 100s
now back home. Here it's pretty hot, but humid. It's been raining a
lot. That's great that you had a good time at trek. Trek is the
greatest. I'm really excited for Tate to leave in his mission. He will
do great. Yeah I did have some MTC missionaries go to billings. I've
already told them that Tate coming . Thanks for the sports updates.
That's crazy that the warriors are up 2-0 on the cavs. I hope the
Warriors win. There's a lot of Cavs fans out here for some reason.
Yeah I hope the Eagles will do better too. Well no we did not. People
still flaked out on us for church. I'm kind of getting used to it. I
pretty much expect people now not to keep their commitments. Teaching
pool is doing well. We are finding more investigators. As far as
reactivation. Like I said earlier no one comes to church when we
invites them and they commit to come. But I'm not going to give up.
Hi Lila. We are doing alright. We are teaching a man and his name is Sabir. We set him with a baptismal date on July 3rd. Lucky you went swimming? Sounds like a fun party. Those improv places are pretty funny. Wow new beehive president. That's great. I'm sure you will do well there.
Love you too

Good morning. What colors are you going to paint the house? It does
really need it I think too. Yeah make sure it looks good. I'm sure you
enjoyed going up to trek. I sure enjoyed trek. Sounds like the game
you out on was a success. I'm glad Carson enjoyed it too and it seems
like he had a lot of responsibility in his family.
Wow Derrik already leaving? That was fast. That is a large group going through the temple.
Lots of missionaries going out I guess. I'm glad sister slade is doing
so much better. Wow Tate is already leaving too? That's crazy. They
will both be great missionaries.
Yeah the weather was a little crazy yesterday. The thunderstorms and
strong winds only lasted for about 20 minutes. There was a lot of
rain. There was also a large tree that fell down near our apartment. I
have a picture of it. The weather sure is being weird. I don't think
it will ever make up its mind. It is getting pretty hot though. How is
my companionship doing. Well right now not so good. Elder Smith can
sometimes be very argumentative. And I am not and I try not to argue.
But sometimes I have to cause he can be really dumb sometimes and say
things that are not correct. Right now I'm pretty mad at him. I don't
think I want to spend another transfer with him cause I don't think
he'll change. If I do stay I don't know how that will work. So yeah
that's how it's going right now. Not too happy with him right now. I
was playing ball last week. Well I didn't send one cause I did run out
of time and also because I didn't have wifi. I used to have xfinity
wifi. Which is just like I can have wifi in a lot of places. But
recently I got kicked off for some reason. I'll be sure to send one
this week. Elder Smith does play ball. The lessons are going well. I'm
sorry to say but elder Smith and I do not teach well together. It
stresses me out a lot. He always wants to talk and not pause or listen
to people. And I do, and I teach differently that he does. Anyways the
lessons are going okay. I'll just say that. That's great the Wojcickis
bought a new home. Where did they move? I sure she is very happy to be
in their own home. Their last home was a little crazy. Haha yeah
sister Kirkham told me about that last night. We had dinner with them.
The Kirkhams are a family in our ward.
I'm glad G and G got the letter back. I was getting pretty worried
about it. I still have yet to receive it. Hopefully it will come soon.
I don't know what I'll buy with it with my birthday money. I'll have to see. Most likely
food. I don't need anything right now. I'll let you know when I need
those pants. This week we have been teaching a lot of lessons and
finding new investigators. We set a guy with a baptismal date as well,
which was pretty sweet. Reactivation isn't going to well. There is
this lady who we are teaching who is less active and we have gotten
her a ride five times now and every time she doesn't come. So we've
decided that we are no longer going to waist the Lords time on her.
Carson is getting his license todayw? He can drive the blueberry.
It's not that bad. People will always know that he is somewhere. I'm
sure he will be grateful.
1: It doesn't change, we still have to be in by 9 pm.
2: I'm going to skip this one right now cause I'm mad at him at my companion.
3: I am no longer district leader.
Love Elder Shumway
