Miracles for Bob, Emma, and Terry! Inbox Lila Shumway Mon, Sep 4, 3:38 PM to me https://photos.app.goo.gl/oN9FXxgjYYKphHnw8 Hey everyone! It was another amazing couple of weeks here in kansas!!! Last Saturday was Bob's baptism! Everything was perfect, besides the water was wayyyy too hot haha! Bob definitely has a light about him now that he didn't have before. And the spirit is definitely talking to him and it's amazing! Here's a little story! So last pday, we thought that we would get more MSF (missionary funds for groceries and such) but we didn't! Sister taylor and I were dirt poor and we didn't have enough funds for groceries and we were just going to go hungry for the week. So we usually have lessons with Bob on Tuesdays. We show up to his apartment and he GOT US GROCERIES! Like literally two boxes FULL of canned goods, fresh fruit/veggies, dried pasta, and more! We hadn't told him that we didn't get groceries, he just had the feeling he needed to help us out this week! BIG MIRACLE! God takes care of His missionaries. Also, something else exciting! A few weeks ago, Sister Taylor and I followed the spirit to a new friend named Emma! She was from Madagascar but going to school in Kansas for a little bit. We gave her a Book of Mormon and she was so excited to learn more! But then she moved to Tennessee the next week. We kept in contact with the missionaries in Tennessee and they have continued teaching Emma and she's planning on getting baptized soon! YAY! Another update for Terry! He has been pushing back his baptism again and again! But this week, he had a rude awakening. He had a jet ski accident on the lake and is very lucky to be alive. He realized how precious life is and how he should not be procrastinating! So now we are planning his baptism for October 7, pray for Terry (he also injured his knee). It was a fun filled week! Love you all♡♡♡ Xoxo 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...

Hey everyone! I'm still in Kansas! Inbox Lila Shumway 2:49 PM (5 hours ago) to me Google photos https://photos.app.goo.gl/oN9FXxgjYYKphHnw8 Hey! So it's been a really long time since I've written an email so here's an update for you guys. Since I've written last: I finished training sister glass (LOVE HER), then I was companions with Sister gunderson and had so much fun with her (I LOVE HER TOO), then I got transferred to Lawrence Kansas with Sister Rollins (LOVE HER SOOO MUCH) We had such an amazing transfer and we worked so hard!

Bob: we knocked on his door a few weeks ago and he was willing to listen to us! Then, the exterminators came to spray his apartment so we had to leave before we finishe...

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...
