rain is good

So it rained a lot this week and it was pretty awesome. We actually found a lot of people in the rain, probably because they took pity on us. Also happy Birthday to my Sister!


So on Monday night we had District Council and there a small portion where we call some of our friends that we teach and we put our friend Sean on date! he didn't come to church this week but they important thing is it's on his mind!

Talked to a really cool YSA aged person and they told us they've been dating a member for like 5 years and we asked if they want to join the church and they were like "yeah sure" so we got their info and sent over to the YSA sisters.

We did service for this lady who had probably the fluffiest dog I have ever seen. The dog was named Luna.

We had our friend Joyce call us 30 minutes before church started and she asked for a ride... she ended up coming and sat by an awesome member and loved church so that was cool. Joyce is an old lady who has problems with her memory but is THE NICEST old lady in San Luis Obisbo.

We had 2 of our friends come to a baptism. The one I was sitting by said "wow, he's glowing" after the guy came back after the baptism. So that was pretty cool. Then after he was confirmed and the bishop started to speak our friend started crying. After we invited her to be baptized and she couldn't really answer but said she would pray about it.

Got kicked out of a place we were finding in but as we were leaving we contacted this girl and her sister and the her mom pulled up and made sure we had exchanged phone numbers. Turns out they had just been talking about how they were needing to go to church! We texted their number and they responded like immediately. super cool.

We played chair soccer today and had food with some senior missionaries and one of them were talking about Real Estate and how much they love it.

I am almost about to finish the Book of Mormon again. It's really cool to see the journey and and the story that is taking place in it's pages. It's been such a blessing to be able to read it everyday.

This week we have interviews and also have a temple trip and we are looking forward to it a lot.

Dinner with the McFarlands. They had coloring pages for us!

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..
