Jeff's house! It's Sea Hawks green! The car isn't his! :)
A ward member lives near by and is going to med school in Mexico. Jeff and his companion are good practice patients on their way home.
A Sunday morning in Piedras Negras with Elder Alcala.
Dear Family and friends,
This week I will hit the 2 months mark here in
Piedras Negras! Super crazy! I will also hit 100 days on the mission! Triple
digits! Everyone was right; the mission does go by fast. I truly have learned a
ton though. This week was really good! I absolutely love my companion, Elder Alcala;
his 23 months of experience are helping me become the best missionary I can be.
My last companion taught me how to clean with Clorox, how to iron well
and he taught me a TON of doctrine from the bible. Elder Alcala teaches
me how to simply teach people to understand. Teaching is so fun with Elder
Alcala!
I am doing really really well with the language.
Seriously, I feel really encouraged. I just try to soak up as much as I can
from Elder Alcala because he was just the Assistant to the mission
president and is going home in 4 weeks! It's crazy! We have a couple of
investigators with baptismal dates and we reactivated a inactive family of
7 this week. They came to church yesterday and the spirit was so strong
there!
I am super excited for General Conference this
upcoming weekend! I would encourage you all to watch as many sessions as you
can and bring a list of questions or difficulties you may have and try to
listen for answers to your questions. I know that if pray for personal
revelation, with true and sincere desire, the Holy Ghost will guide us and help
us receive the answers we need. We also have a special chance to see 3 new
Apostles be called! I have a strong testimony of continuous revelation between
Prophets and God in these latter days. I hope you all take advantage of the
chance to listen to the guidance we need in our lives.
Love,
Elder Shipley
