Hello everyone! Thanks for your emails and letters and support. I love
you guys. This week was good. We taught several people, no one new this past week. Not a ton to report. It rained a lot. We met with several leaders in the new Stake and hope to get some more investigators in it soon. I got a bike, so as soon as it stops raining we will be biking. We have played ball every morning still this transfer. We got some good ice cream today and played basketball for p-day. The mission is good. I hope you all are doing well. Here is a picture of my companion who apparently collects one dollar bills.

Hello everyone! Today was a great p-day. We went shopping early and
were able to relax a little and then we had our activity. We played some sort of game I have no idea what it's called, but it was with like pvc pipes covering in padding/foam and that was the first half. Second half we played a mix of ultimate frisbee and basketball and soccer, we call it speedball. There was another rugby played on my team and we just passed it back and forth a couple times all the way down the court and scored it was pretty fun haha. This past week was fantastic! We had a new Ward Mission Leader called in one of our 17 wards and he is going to be amazing! We watched General Conference and even got to see the Sunday Afternoon session live with a couple that have recently begun to be active again within the past few months. I loved Presidents Utchdorfs talk from Priesthood session where he talked about the sons of thunder. What made the weekend even more special was the new Easter initiative called Prince of Peace. Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords is the Prince of Peace. There is a short, a little longer than two minute, video that talks about how we can find peace through our Savior Jesus Christ. Then there are eight other videos, roughly the same length, that highlight some principles of peace. I would invite you all to watch these videos and apply some of the principles in your life to help you better find peace through Jesus Christ. These videos can be found on Mormon.org or LDS.org. I know that God loves us, and because He loves us He sent His only begotten Son, so that we can return to live with Him again. Thanks so much for all of your love and support. For those of you on spring break, I hope you have a great time! I love you all! -Elder Shanklin |
