weeks. Don't know who my new companion is yet. I am crying inside for
future opportunities here! Easter went really well. We spent most of
the day with members. Many of them wanted us over to eat their food.
Also elder Martinez burned one of his suits.
I heard that nba playoffs are about to begin. I wonder who's going to
win it all this year? I'm most glad that the WF volleyball team is
doing well. When is fathers and sons camp Out? Hopefully it won't be
very dusty for you guys and you have fun.
Love Elder Shumway
Mom
Happy easter to you too! Yesterday was a good day. Looks like the egg
hunt was fun. I do remember when grandma Shumway would do those Easter
egg hunts. Those were a lot of fun. I did get the chocolate from
Cindy. It was sent to my apartment here in New Jersey. I might have
given her my address sometime in the past. The type of chocolate is
Harry London gourmet chocolates. She is a great friend to us. I
haven't really eaten any of it yet. There's a lot of it. Sounds like
some great gifts for my siblings. I think you spelled goggles wrong
though. I thought that was funny.
Garage sale! I remember having a couple of those. I remember them to
be not so fun cause we had to wake up early and it was usually cold. I
got the picture of Sam and Lila in those snazzy looking suit coats.
Yeah a whole group of missionaries is pretty special at the Easter pageant.
Wow 23 years! That's a great milestone. Congratulations and happy late anniversary.
Oooohh the choir. I'm sure yours sounded great. I sang in the choir
too and we sounded pretty good as well. Sorry to hear that nursery was
a little crazy cause of this new boy crying. I'm sure he'll grow out of it
though.
Well we were able to go to the temple with Armondo but we weren't able
to see him actually get baptized. My recommend doesn't expire until
June so I've got a couple more months.
Yeah Ishmael hasn't really shown any more interest. Not sure what's
happening with him. Don't have a lot of other people truly progressing
towards baptism. We have a few potential people who could be baptized.
We will keep working with them though. This week we will be doing a
lot of walking around probably. Also a lot of missionary work. I do
get a new companion Tuesday. I'm pretty excited! I am staying in
Vineland another transfer.
So trace is going to the Idaho, Napa mission huh? Good for him. Is he
speaking English?
6 weeks left until summer! That's exciting. I remember the end of the
school year being exciting cause you know that school is almost over.
Only 4 Sundays till Mother's Day. That's not that long. I'm pretty
good with money right now. What do you mean transfer some money into
my accounts?
Easter Day was pretty good. We spent most of the day with members.
Elder Martinez wanted to say goodbye to some members and to also burn
a suit which is mission tradition. How was the ham with all the
fixings?
I can find some more pictures for you. The video was when I was on
exchanges with one of the zone leaders and we were with a member and
the elder fell asleep. We were just busy with different things last
week. I'll be sure and send a weekly email out today.
Love Elder Shumway
Hey everybody! Hope everybody had a great easter yesterday. Our Easter
went really well. We had a great choir perform during sacrament
meeting. I was able to be in the choir and we sounded really good. So
I'm sorry that I haven't sent out a weekly email over the past few
weeks. So to update everybody on what's happened. Ishmael one of our
investigators who was doing really good is no longer interested in
meeting with us anymore. Robert has been taking a break from us cause
the next step for him is to get married and they still aren't sure
when and how they want to do it. Armondo is doing really well. He was
able to go to the temple and had a great time. His mom unfortunately
got in a bad car crash and her car was totaled. Please keep her in
your prayers. She wasn't hurt but her car definitely was and now they
have minimal transportation.
So elder Martinez will be leaving Vineland tomorrow and will be going
home Wednewday. My new companion is Elder Bucheger. Don't really
know a lot about him. He is from Utah and has been out for about a
year. Very excited for this next transfer. Hope you all have a great
week!
Love Elder Shumway
