Running it back? x4

Alright alright yall calm down now. I know yall are excited but I can hear ya all the way from California!


This week was crazy because I was double covering an area with a temporary companion for a couple days. And I also got a new companion. 

Tuesday- stopped by some friends. Sadly caught one of our friends vaping ðŸ˜”.  Then did some work in another area and put someone on date to be baptized on Dec 29th. Then finished the day off with some choir practice. 

Wednesday- double covered again! Found some people who were interested. Then went to go to the church meet our new comps. Then actually changed our minds and went to in n out. Met my new comp, Elder Boyd, he was hungry so we stopped to get some McDonald's for him. 

Thursday- visited our records. Ate an amazing dinner. 

Friday- multi zone conference! Drove 2 hours to Santa Barbara. Sang a musical number in Spanish because our district is like that. Then I drove us all back to Paso Robles. Then had a member meal. 

Saturday- invited so many people to church, it was crazy! Visited some members. Then helped the Spanish branch clean up there Fiesta de Navidad. 

Sunday- had a lot of less active members come to church and a few of our friends. Then ANOTHER member meal. Then a zoom. 

Monday- played some pickleball today and ate some food. 

SPIRITUAL THOUGHT!
"WHAT COULD HIS EMAIL TITLE MEAN???" 
So this transfer will be my 4th transfer in the same area. And if anyone is keeping count(I'm definitely not) it'll be 6 months for me. That's 1/4 of my mission in the same place. Why God wants me to stay here.... I have no idea.....
What I do know is that I need to trust in his plan. This verse in Mormon 9 comes to mind Behold, I say unto you that whoso believeth in Christ, doubting nothing, whatsoever he shall ask the Father in the name of Christ it shall be granted him; and this promise is unto all, even unto the ends of the earth. 
What comes to mind for me is prayer. God PROMISES that if we ask him, doubting nothing, then we will receive and answer. That's something I personally need to work on. 

Thank you all from reading my email! Love yall! Keep killing it!

what a week...

Hey yall! We had a week full of ups and downs. God is always out here looking out for us, sending us good times.  Last Monday we had the 1st counselor in the mission presidency come and sit on our district council and he took some time in the beginning to talk to us about straight up oral hygiene. He's a semi-retired dentist and brought us all toothbrushes, floss, and tongue scrapers. I had never used a tongue scraper before and I doubt that I'll ever go back. On Wednesday I had an exchange with one of my Zone Leaders and he changed my perspective on how I treat my companion and how I should go about doing work. We got to find a few people that day and extend 4 baptismal dates to our friends. I pray that they all stick to their commitments. This week we also got to stop by some members who had been going through some tough times the past few months with the Sister having to go through open heart surgery. The husband read to her the Percy Jackson series and they got through the ...

what happened this week...

hey... everyone.. im here in california... talking about Jesus with everyone.. hope everyone had a great week! yeah but i don't remember what happened this week. i met like a ton of atheists this week... like probably more than my entire mission combined. it's interesting because you get so used to always talking about God and helping people grow their faith but your brain goes blank when you can't really do that. It reminds about how King Lamoni was taught. A little update on teaching side of things. Our friend Matthew is on date for the 16th so please prayer for him. We also have about 4 people we want to invite to be baptized this week.  oh yeah! im also in a trio right now because someone in my district had to get Emergency Transferred and our new companion is a spanish missionary so that means i got to go to spanish ward and i understood about 30% about what was happening so that was cool. today we went on a hike for our district activity and then went to c...

NEW STUFF

So I have been transferred to Conejo Canyon in the Zone of Newbury Park. I have been in this area before on exchanges so it's cool to be back here and we are on bikes half of the time! I am follow up training Elder Feilzer who was trained by my trainer so we are brothers in the mission but also a parent to him. He is funny. Knows a lot but also doesn't. He's good. I did probably smell the most amount of weed I have ever smelt on the mission this week so that was cool... I am also in a apartment with 4 missionaries. Hope everyone has an awesome week! -Elder Shumway (Awkward family photo) Me, Elder Butler (Trainer), Elder Prusse (Brother)....Elder Prusse is not my companion. So now there are 3 brothers..
