contention is of the devil

hey everyone! a lot happened this week, like a ton. I won't get into it but its safe to say that I will probably be transferred and after multiple calls with our mission President and phone call with the Stake President and a couple talks with the Bishop (who are all awesome) the situation should be remedied soon. I feel like that's pretty suspenseful so I think I'm gonna leave it at that.


On a happier note. i got to eat dominoes pizza twice this week!

I got to read scriptures with one of my favorite members named Gaga. Ill have some pictures below.

Had some really cool member meals this week. most of this ward is awesome!

Had a really cool talk with one of my Zone Leaders who is super cool. shout out Elder Knight and Elder M Larsen.

anyway thats all i got for this week! everyone stay chill. church is still super true!

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..
