I tried something HOT/George is ELECT

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my emails! I don't have a whole lot to say but some very cool things happened this week!


-We had this referral named George who we gave a 3-week baptismal date and he's super excited. He said giving up coffee will not be a problem for him and he doesn't like any of that other immoral stuff. He sadly couldn't come to church this week because he went to the urgent care and seems like he had food poisoning. He felt so bad that he couldn't come to church.

-Had transfers and i am TRAINING AGAIN!! My trainie is Elder Sweeny and he's pretty cool. We've read a lot of the same books so we connected over that. This makes it 3 transfers in a row for training...

-I tried something really spicy with our friend Collin who has a baptismal date in December. See the vid in my photo album. IT WAS VERY HOT. i start laughing because of how hot it is.

-A very nice catholic man invited us in his home and fed us chicken pot pie. His kids also showed us some songs they know on their instruments.

-I also learned that someone in my passed areas that i taught got baptized so that was pretty cool.

i think thats all that happened this week so go read some scriptures and say some prayers because God's coming back soon!

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..
