had a baptism last Saturday! Sammie got baptized! It was a great
baptismal service. We tried to involve the youth in it as much as
possible. Sammie's best friend tanner who is in the young men's with
him baptized him. Patrick who is also one of Sammie's good friend gave
an amazing talk! Sammie got confirmed yesterday and is now and
official I member of the church. He is such a great man. I'm so glad
that I was able to be in this area when he gets baptized. I'll send
pictures.
Today we had a great picnic in a park. We had a great game of football
and I loved every minute of it. I got very dirty. I'll send a picture
of that too.
Also I am staying another 6 weeks here in Vineland with Elder
Bucheger. Super excited to be here another 6 weeks!
Love Elder Shumway
Thanks for the late letter. I had been checking my iPad throughout the
day and it finally came around 8:00. I was happy when I got it. I was
in Cherry Hill when I got it. We had a devotional for new members and
investigators of the stake. So school is finally out! I think the
school year went by pretty fast. I'm sure it was a busy week. Is Lila
going into high school next year? What colors are you going to paint
the house? Thanks for waking up early to take puggles on walks. I'm
sure she appreciates them. Summer will probably go by fast again this
year.
Yeah my wound is healing pretty well. It's not completely gone but I
don't have hardly any pain. It was very painful.
What kind of movies will be playing his summer? No big surf? That's
ok. I thought that most of the time there were too many people there
anyways. It was fun, but just too many people. I honestly would rather
stay home and swim for free with a lot less people. It's good to get
rid of junk. I've seen a lot of junk on my mission in people's homes.
Haha you're funny mom to keep my clothes out by your bed. I'm sure

Haha you're funny mom to keep my clothes out by your bed. I'm sure
those clothes are getting pretty
lonely just sitting there. I'm glad they will be waiting for me when I
get home.
My suit is nicer now. No more stickiness. It is a nice suit. I'm
wearing it in the pictures I'm sending you from Sammie's baptism.
Woah my flight itinerary! It's just got real! I have never met Sister
Phelps I think. I've never talked to her. I don't think we've ever
been in the same zone.
The baptism went really well. Couldn't have gone better honestly. I
have some pictures to send. He does go by Sammie. Oh Annaka! Yeah so
we have taught her many times about baptism and why it's important and
that everyone needs to be baptized by proper authority and she just
won't do it. Super frustrating but we aren't giving up. So the dogs
belonged to a less active member. We had just stopped by to see how
she was doing. Jennifer was a former investigator and had referred
herself again. We went over there the day we got the referral, and she
has had a lot of health problems recently that has made her want to
make changes in her life. She is a really nice woman and she said at
one time she was going to be baptized but it fell through and she said
that she does now want to get baptized and is serious about it. All
she needs to do is marry her fiancé who she is living with. We haven't
had an appointment since then cause of her health problems.
That's good you got the hallway back together. I think I remember you
thinking it might be mold. Was it? Wow Sister Nichols is already home!
That's great! I'm sure her family is excited to be with her.
I'll keep working hard. There's plenty of things here that we need to
do. So I already know what's happening with transfers. Elder Bucheger
and I are staying together for another 6 weeks. My area is very
beautiful, very green. I don't think you told me that you got Elders
in the ward! That's great! Elders are the best! Carson should go out
teaching with them! Sounds like those elders will be getting a good
dinner. Hope my week goes well too. Hope you have a great week!
Love Elder Shumway
