Yep I will no longer be a teenager. I will be a 20 year old this time next week! It seems really weird to me too. Thank you for your small gift! I'm fine with my birthday present staying home. I would just like another suit. I really only have one nice one and I'd like to have another one. I wear a suit about 2-3 times a week. I enjoy wearing more just slacks and a short sleeved shirt. My slacks are doing well. 

We have been out walking quite a bit. Not so much this week now that we have more miles. When we go over miles we just are told to not do it again basically. Not really any punishment just an invitation to do better next month. Haven't heard from Jay at all. We've been trying to get ahold of him and haven't gotten an answer. Also that lady is making small progress. She has canceled our last two appointments last minute. So we will see how it goes. We have another appointment with her tomorrow. Hopefully she keeps that one. I try and take pictures of people in my mission. Sammy is doing well but for some reason he didn't come to church yesterday. 

Yeah I do miss my dog. Every time I see a nice dog I will take a picture with it. It's just something that I've done. Elder Bucheger gave me the card for the app. I didn't know you already had one. You can still use the one you had. 

I will be calling at 5:00 here. I'm really excited! I hope you guys are too. I think this one will be good. Cause it's my last one and it will be only a few more months. That would be great to see porter, Torie and Teryn! I'm excited to see them. 

Carson told me that the volleyball season is now over. I guess they had lost in the first round of the playoffs. That's exciting that Carson will be going to BYU for volleyball camp. I'm sure he will enjoy himself. It is a lot safer to fly than to drive. I'm sure they will have a lot of fun up there.

Annaka is doing well. We are meeting with her at a members home for a lesson and dinner tonight! Super excited about that! She has asked to be taught more so now we are meeting with her three times a week. We were able to just stop by the lady that flagged us down. She is super busy and she probably won't turn out to be anything but we will see. I would love to have some names. I actually need some cause we will be going to the temple sometime soon. If you could get those sealing sticks done that would be great. 

That's a lot of missionaries coming home soon. I guess Caleb is coming home a transfer early? Ashlyn should be coming home at the end of May. I'm sure her and her family is excited. I would love to see Katie and Grant there! 

I'm glad you all are still doing grandpas yard. I guess Lila and Sam are probably more of a help now. I remember when they wouldn't really do anything that whole time we mowed. How was the shindig?

I can't open these pictures on here cause they are linked to google and I can't get on google. Could you just send them through the cloud?

Love Elder Shumway

Hey Dad. Just had a great day playing a lot of basketball. Super fun!
Didn't do so great today. I missed a lot of shots. Had a couple of
good layups though. Here the weather is nice here too. It's been
raining these past few days here too. I always enjoyed fathers and
sons camp out. I'm sure you will have a lot of fun. I'm sure Carson
will have a good time too. Carson looks very grown up from the picture
that are being sent to me. Looks like he's got some facial hair too. I
heard about about that story too. Pretty crazy.

Thanks for the sports updates. I've heard about those crazy expensive
shoes. Are they nice shoes? Sounds like everything is he same in
nursery. And the shindig sounded fun. Cheese itz are pretty good.

I'm excited to see y'all next Sunday. Technology is really great!

Love Elder Shumway
