Sister Lila Shumway

The last "weekly" Inbox Lila Shumway Mon, Jan 1, 3:18 PM (2 days ago) to me Hey everyone! You might notice from the title that this will be my last email (sorry I wasn't ever very good at writing weekly haha) but I thought I'd give you all a little update and a brief overview of my mission and what I have learned! UPDATE: I have been transferred from Lawrence:((( it was so heart wrenching to leave lawrence. I served there for 4 transfers and the people there really had become my second family. It was especially hard to leave Terry. I had helped Terry learn about the restored Gospel and be baptized! We had become such close friends. My birthday was on one of my last days in Lawrence and also fell on stake conference day! Terry came to stake conference!

THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS KANSAS WICHITA MISSION 7011 East 13th Street North Wichita, Kansas 67206-1219 29 Dec 2023 Rick Shumway and Jennifer Shumway 3739 E Simpson Ct.

Sept 25-oct 1 Inbox Lila Shumway Tue, Oct 3, 2023, 3:57 PM to me, Rick 09/25 Pday! Grocery shopping as usual. We went to the church building and made bracelets with Sister Wilkinson and sister rollins while the elders played basketball. We went to tropical smoothie Cafe and the post office. Then we went to the antique mall with Sister Anderson, Sister Bowen, and sister pehrson. Sister Taylor got some taylor swift stickers (she absolutely obsessed with Taylor swift), I got some cute rings, sister pehrson got a bracelet and a necklace, and sister bowen got a stuffed animal (sister bowen is so cute, she's 24 but has some mental handicaps I think). Sister anderson, sister bowen, and sister pehrson were all going to spend the night at our apartment (they live in Hiawatha and they don't want to drive so much because we have district council in the morning), ***so we gave them our apartment key***. On the way to the church building, because we needed to change into our proselyting ...
