Week Twenty Four - I'm trying to be like Jesus 2/23

Thank you everyone for your love and support for Shawn, especially these last couple of weeks. He seems like he is doing really well.

Dear Friends & Family,

So this week was super interesting!

First off, we had dinner with some of the Recent Converts, Matthew

and Courtnie Naiche. We ate stuffed Fry-bread. It's so good, but so

unhealthy. It was a lot of fun! Then Elder Mangum and I brought the

Sundaes for dessert!

Then I got to go on Exchanges with Elder Backus a few days back, in

Roswell, NM! It was a lot of fun, and a really good growing

experience. We talked about how the night before he got set apart I

came over and said "See ya in 2!"... How wrong I was. I am so thankful

for him and his loving example to me. We had a whole lot of time to

reminisce about good ol' Murray, Utah and the Memories. It was a good

change. One I really needed.

The Next day I went on exchanges with Elder Slater, and we got

stuck in a mud pile. An hour and a half later, I had muddy shoes in

the backseat, My pants were rolled up over my knees, and I had taken

my tie off to push the car. I was covered head to toe in mud. Oh the

good Samaritan who pulled us out laughed so hard.

Then Saturday we helped Larry and Kelly on the Farm get their

Tractor Unstuck. So that was funny. I also got to feed a baby horse,

and hold a Lamb on my shoulders. (I'm trying to be like Jesus in all

sorts of ways).

Saturday night we had Stake Conference, and it was so good! The

spirit was super strong, and I learned so much! Afterwards President

Heap took us all to Dairy Queen and wouldn't let anyone pay! He is too

nice to us. Haha. Then he also felt bad some guys behind us had

waited, so he paid for theirs as well!

Sunday Larry and Kelly came to stake conference and cried the whole

time! it was so great!!

I hope y'all had as great of a week as I did. I love you. Y'all are in

my prayers.

Elder Shawn Michael Murray
