Elder McShinsky is EXCITED for confrence!!!!

Dear Family

Apparently our house is a little difficult... The stake patriarch came today, and took 7 and a half  hours to install a air conditioning unit... Wow so we spent our entire p day inside, working on the house... 

Sound like ya´ll had a good time competing....

This week we have been working hard to get to know the whole ward, and try and find new people to teach as well. We are hoping to find a bunch this week. Please pray for us, so that we can find more people who are ready to enter in to the lords kingdom through Baptism. Outside of that we just had a bunch of normal everyday adventures.... 

Thank you for all your hard work!

Is it Cold Yet?

Dear Family,

Please have fun on my part during the family reunion.  Yes the weather this week has been a little bit colder.  I've whipped out my coat and we´re out working hard. 

¡¡¡¡Happy Birthday Mom!!!!

O.K. this week has gone by way too fast!  So I'll just write you next week instead.... Just kidding.  But this week really has gone by incredibly fast.  We started the week out with a mission capacitation.  And then worked all week long.  And in the end you get really tired missionary, but a happy one. 

Wish the best of luck to you all!

Memorial Day Letter

Dear Family,

About the tablecloth.  It was made 9 month's ago especially for Mom in Barrio Sajonia by Hermana Leon.  She as well as I send all our love to you.  I was going to bring it home with me, but the opportunity came around so I sent it last week instead.  And yes it is hand made.  The little electronic thing-a-majig is actually a battery charger (like camera and phone batteries.)  Just make sure that the two little metal things are touching the batteries input slots (the little light will turn on).  Then plug into the wall. (P.S. Be sure not to electrocute yourself) It's great for travel.

Well this week was just great!  We had a great surprise.  Felix one of our investigators decided all of the sudden that he finally wanted to be baptized, and that he wanted to do it if possible before Leo (A member of the ward) left to serve his mission in Uruguay.  So he got baptized Tuesday, and then on Saturday the Hna. Jorgelina got baptized as well!  It was great to have both their confirmations on Sunday as well as another farewell to a sister missionary on her way to Peru to serve the Lord.  Or in other words this week in the ward = Lots of excitement.  Two missionaries leaving and two different baptismal services plus all the other normal ward activities.  Wow, what fun to be part of the true church of God.  His kingdom here on earth again.  On top of that we did divisions two times this week, and worked our hearts out!  We're real excited to really get into it again this week as well.  We feel invigorated and Da Gusto!  We feel truly blessed, and we are really trying our best to help out our Zone.

The Lord Loves You

Dear Family,

The Lord loves you.

It's Raining... How fun! That means that we get to run around all day today and get persecuted for the Lord in the rain!  What a blessing!  Generally people feel bad for us when it rains as well so more of them let us into their houses to teach them, so that's just great!

Have fun with the cub scouts!

That's great that your having a Family Reunion, seeing as it's filming in the silent film era, you should put my picture on the wall.  I won't say a word the whole time, I promise!

Congratulations Casey!!! Work hard out there, the Lord needs you to! 

Sorry, I don"t have any more time today, but keep in mind that the Lord loves you!
