TRANSFERS Inbox Lila Shumway Attachments Mon, Oct 3, 2022, 12:58 PM to me HEY EVERYONE! if you know me, you know that I am the WORST at texting people back. So I know none of you are surprised that I'm also not the best at writing my mission emails, but my mom said I had to. So I finished up my time in Concordia and it was honestly so amazing! I loved that little branch and our friends so much! Sister Garrett and I really thought we would be staying there for another transfer. But we woke up Monday morning and were surprised with the news that we would both be transferring! We were very sad:(((. I am now in the Riverside Park area in Wichita, Kansas! And sister Garrett is my STL, so I still get to see her sometimes! My new companion is Sister Dockstader and she is amazing! This is her last transfer so we have to make it a good one! General Conference was so so so wonderful this weekend! ALL of the talks were so inspiring, my favorites were President Nelson, Elder Pearson, and Elder Bednar's talks. I felt like a big theme in this conference was that discipleship comes with a price, but the joy and blessings that come are priceless! I really felt like we were asked to recommit ourselves to becoming disciples of Jesus Christ! I love you and miss you all! I would love to hear about what is going on in your life, email me! Love, your favorite Sister missionary, Sister Shumway

Another week in Kansas! Inbox Lila Shumway Attachments Mon, Oct 10, 2022, 3:12 PM to me Hey everyone! I LOVE KANSAS! this week had its ups and downs, but it was so amazing! Last pday was a zone pday and I got to see my amazing mtc companion Sister Anderson! That was super exciting because I missed her a lot! The zone was playing some pickleball and this nice old man bought us all pizza! He didn't even know who we were, Kansas has the best people honestly. This week we started teaching our friend Jake! He is doing so good and loves to read the Book of Mormon with us. Jake is always so nice and he said he's trying to turn his life around and knows that we can help him. Jake really wanted to come to church this week, so we got him a ride and set everything up. But Sunday morning, Jake wasn't answering his phone:( so he didn't come to church. We still haven't heard from him so please pray for Jake! Tina is also one of our friends who could use your prayers! She has a...

CRAZY AWESOME MIRACLES! Inbox Lila Shumway Mon, Nov 21, 2022, 3:25 PM to me Hey everyone! This week was amazing! I am so thankful I was able to witness some miracles from God this week! Okay here we go! So we'll start with Monday. I had the feeling we should call brother and sister Martuscello, because I absolutely LOVE them! Brother Martuscello didn't pick up but that's okay (I promise this part is important later). Fast forward to Tuesday, Sister Briggs and I were out driving and we saw our friend Mallory on the side of the road walking her dog (Mallory is our amazing friend who is getting baptized either this week or next). It was definitely meant to be, so we parked our car and ran to catch up with Mallory. She tells us that she lost her job out of nowhere! But she's so faithful! She said she wasnt freaking out because she knows God has something better in store for her. Fast forward to Wednesday, brother Martuscello calls us back and asks if we know of anybody...
