Happy Mondayy everybody. Hope everybody is doing great. This week has
been pretty great. I was able to go on exchanges with an Elder
Parkinson. He is from Idaho. We decided to walk all day in his area
and we walked for about 15 miles or son. It was a long way. We were
walking along a road and I looked down and found an Elvis Presley
tape. And I kept it. I'm gonna see if it works someday.

Sister Russell is doing pretty great. We had a lesson last week on the
law of chastity. Went well cause she totally understands it and is
perfectly willing to live it. She came to church which was great. We
also had dinner with them Saturda night and it was really good. We
were able to get to know them more and have some good laughs. Her only
probables is still smoking. Please keep her in your prayers so she can
quit smoking. We haven't been able to meet with Brittany this week
either. She has been sick. As well as the boys Zach and Brad. Weren't
able to meet with them.

I'm going to send a video along with this email. Today we have been
with the Seaford Elders and we were able to go to this members
neighborhood and they have a beach in it and we were able to go to it.
Hope you enjoy it.

Love Elder Shumway



You're welcome for the hand written note. I thought it was
appropriate. It feels like it has been a long time. I'm pretty sure
and hoping that these last 6 months go by fast and well. Mom told me
you've been under the weather a little bit and also have found out
some of your allergies. Hopefully you will feel better now that you
know those things. That's nice how both the trailer and the tracker
fit snug in there. I always enjoy ward council. Both great messages
that were shared. Courtney comes home tomorrow! That went by fast! I'm
sure tomorrow will be a fun day. Have fun at the ball games. I'm sure
Carson will do great.

Love Elder Shumway


Good morning mother. So the picture that was sent to you was sent from
our investigator Susan Russell. We had dinner that night at their
house. We do get fed a good amount. It's been picking up recently for
whatever reason. I think it's because people know that Elder Fifita
will be leaving soon. Um I'm not sure how many families are in the
branch. We only have about 3 active primary children. A lot of the
branch is old members that have been here for a long time. Yes this is
Elder Fifita's last week. He will be going home to Tonga. 18 hour
flight.

I thought it was appropriate for me to write a hand letter. Seems like
everybody will be coming home these next several months. Super
exciting. I got an email from Torie and she was saying that she's
excited for all her friends to come back home from their missions. Wow
Courtney will be coming home tomorrow huh? That's really exciting. I'm
sure her family is really excited for her to come home. I'd love a
clip of it.

Sister Russell is doing good. We've been trying to make a better
relationship with her recently and it's going pretty well. We had a
good time at their house Saturday night. Unfortunately she is not
on date and really never has been. We are going to be talking about
that this week with her cause we are almost finished teaching her
everything. The boys are still a no show. We weren't able to have a
lesson with them this week at all and they didn't come to church.

I don't think I've ever heard tanner speak. That's great that he can
talk now. That's great for Kristen! I'm sure she's feeling a lot
better without that weight and is able to help her kids more.

Paul is doing good. He's been very busy recently. Also you can call or
text him anytime.

I'll be sure to get a picture in my suit soon enough. And yes I was
able to go back to kohls and get the gray security thing off.

We have gone to DQ. That's big news about dad? I think the dairy thing
is about dad. At first I thought it was about daisy but I hope not
cause I don't think she eats a lot of dairy. Anyways that's pretty big
news. I hope him staying away from dairy will help him feel better.

When is teryn expecting his call? Jed's call is going to come this
week huh! That's great. I would love a video of that.

Wow just the three of you did all of it huh! That must of been a lot
of work. That's sad about the garden. I wish it would look better. The
tracker and the trailer fit where the pop up trailer used to be?

California huh? That's sounds like a lot of fun. I remember when
around my spring break 2 years ago I was getting my wisdom teeth out!
Super fun!

Have a great week.

Love Elder Shumway
