Hello Mom. This week has been pretty good. Have had some success and some
disappointment. Glad to hear you are all doing good. Thanks for the
videos. Sorry you guys aren't feeling good. I hope you feel better
soon. Thankfully I haven't been sick much during this winter season. I
hope it stays that way. That must have been hard to be in the temple
with that horrible cough. That's great that dad passed out some names.
That makes me happy.

So you sent me some gift cards huh? To where? I appreciate those.
Grandma sent an emailing saying that grandpa will be sending some
money. I will be expecting it in the mail. Ill give him my address. I
got the copper from a washing machine that Jon and Lori had. They let
me tear it apart. I just found time during meal breaks and at night.
Also on Pday. I only did it with Elder Ostrom. He thought it was a
little strange. The crab was a gift from someone here in the branch.
The leg was broken before. I had accidentally broken it before I sent
it. When did the package
arrive? Thanks for hiding it away for me.

The balloons were a lot of fun. Elder Selby is in my district and we
not only spent the night together we spent the day together. It was a
lot of blowing and tieing. Our companionship is doing ok.

I hope and pray everything goes well for Sister whis. I'm glad that
they are getting support for their bills. Teryn is growing his hair
out for the kids huh? Man life will be super rough for Nathan Neher.
It must be hard to be on vacation for two years. I hope he can pull
through. Yeah Teryn told me that his dad was called to Mexico City but
he didn't go. Interesting to think of what might of happened if he did
go on his mission.

I did get the videos. That's too bad I can't get videos over 15 seconds.

Church was back on yesterday. We had a couple of investigators come.
John has gone very down hill. He does have a family but he is really
rebelling against them. Speaking of Lori, elder Ostrom told me that
her dad is not doing so good and might die soon. He told me she is
going to California soon. Fresh orange juice is the best!

all the fresh and easy stores went out of business? I think having a
goodwill would benefit a community.

I agent gotten a picture of Paul's fridge yet. We are going out to
dinner with him toniight Man Andrew is such a ladies man! That's great
he will be getting a drivers license soon. Thanks for understanding
about the no treats. It's really hard not to gain weight out here.
Especially when your in a car area. And I've been in one my whole
mission. I really hope that I can go to a walking area. The new gym
sounds pretty sweet. I'd love to go there someday.

What are you guys planning on your day off from school? What will be
your responsibilities in attendance next year? I'm sure Carson is
happy to get a pay raise. I'm pretty sure he will stay at WF too.

I like my brown shoes too. My black ones are doing fine and my doc
martins are doing good too. They still work. Don't need anything right
now.

Love Elder Shumway
