Yes I was waiting patiently for my email yesterday. yeah that seaweed
is really disgusting. Elder Lake has a lot of it and he eats it just
like chips. He is soooooo weird. He loves sushi too. I tried it for
the first time a few weeks ago and it wasn't anything special.

Sounds like a pretty fun weekend. Lots going on. I'm glad thatLila, Sam, Annie and Hannah
 are still getting along well. I'm sure Colten did great at his farewell
talk. Nephi sounds like a good topic to talk about as well. I've been
able to read that story many times with our investigators as they
start to read the Book of Mormon. That was smart for Juliet to do
start with his suits bugger. I'm sure Colten is going to gain some major weight. That
southern hospitality will feed him a lot I'm sure.

I'll send you some pictures in this email of last week. It was pretty
fun. They are still getting married Friday. I'm really excited
for them. Her parents should be flying in from California tomorrow.
The best thing that she's fixed for us to eat. She has some really good waffles that
she makes. I'm sure they would love that gift for their wedding.

Well I'm sleeping fine. It's the amount of sleep I get is the problem.
I'm glad you're sleeping well. Headaches aren't too frequent. The last
one I had was on a Sunday and we hadn't had lunch yet.

Nothing from Mason yet. We are supposed to be seeing him tomorrow; I
hope goes well.

That's great the  Flygare twins did well. I'm sure that they had huge Spanish
accents. I'm sure they hardly spoke any English while they were out. That a
scary story about Matts heart attack. Is he doing ok? I'm sure they are
glad that it happened at home and not in Central America.

Rochelle got baptized Saturday actually and was confirmed
yesterday. She is a great person. They puppy is still gone. I'm glad
she's doing well. Not surprised are dogs are still annoying. I'm sure 

they are getting a little old. Sorry you think you're getting old too.

I wonder what bro gale wants to talk to you about?

That's awesome for porter. Sounds like he's keeping busy and doing
good work. I also would love to work in the temple. But not the
Spanish session, that wouldn't work.

Love Elder Shumway

Hello everyone
This week was great.Saturday Rochelle got baptized! And then on
Sunday she got confirmed. Had an awesome weekend! Sorry I didn't write
an email last week. Super busy, we went to the priesthood restoration
site with Jon and Lori. They both loved it. I recommend that everybody
goes there if they ever get the chance. In the beginning of the tour
they show a short video about Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdry
translating the Book of Mormon into English. It's an awesome movie.
The actor who plays Joseph Smith is the same guy who plays Christ in
the church bible videos. Also in the movie is the depiction of Joseph
and Oliver receiving the priesthood. It's sooooooo cool.

This coming week is going to be great. Lori and Jon are getting
married! I'm so happy for them. Lori's parents are supposed to be
coming in towntomorrow for the wedding. They are getting married this
Friday. Then the next daySturday Jon is going to get baptized! I
am so lucky to be a part of these awesome people's lives. Then later
that night is the cultural celebration for the temple, which we have
been given permission to watch. Super excited for that, hopefully will
bring back some awesome memories. Then the next day the temple will be
dedicated!

Thanks for all your prayers. Hope everybody has an awesome week.

Hi grandma. Im glad Colten did a great job yesterday at his talk. He will be a wonderful missionary. And I'm sure he'll enjoy all that southern hospitality. 

We have a wedding here on Friday and a baptism on Saturday. Unfortunately Jon won't be confirmed until the following Sunday cause this Sunday is the temple dedication. 

I love you grandma, Elder Shumway

Dad
Hello good morning. Thanks for all the football updates. Can't believe
it's already starting again. Hope the cardinals can do really well
this year. Mom sent me a picture of Carson with his date. They do look
good. I'm sure they had a great time. Heard you had a busy day. But a
good busy day. I'm glad that Colten is ready to go learn that new
language. I'm sure he will do we'll out there. I think I would laugh a
lot if I was at their homecoming. With all the broken English. I'm
sure they were trying their hardest though. That's great Carson will
be able to have Colten old phone.

We do have a big week coming up. Everything is ready and set up. I'm
very excited about the temple dedication. It's gonna be a great
experience. Things in our area are really good. This area is the most
successful area I've been in. We have been able to get people to
church. Seaweed is very gross. I do not recommend it.

Love Elder Shumway
