Hey!
Luckily kids are more durable than they seem, haha. The parents here must whoop their kids, we were at a member dinner and I asked one of the kids what he learned in primary and he said, "I learned our parents don't whoop us for no reason." Haha, that was funny!
With my mission, we find a descent amount of people, but it's real tough to get anyone to progress, so I will keep you posted on those as they progress. I miss all of you as well, to be honest, I've missed home more this past month than any other time on my mission. I love y'all!
Love,
Elder Shields

Transfer News...
Transfer news!?
So I will be staying and Elder Tyler will be leaving.
Do you know anything about your new comp?
Elder Bush is a missionary that I came out with, and i will be grooming him to be a District Leader here.
Investigator/Finding update:
We found Anthony the cigarette guy, and another college kid. Most people dropped us this week, good ole anti info from preachers is a doozy.
Funny Story:
We taught a man who rolled cigarettes with the pages of a JW Bible, sweet justice.
Scripture:
1 Nephi 2:16

Another week in Pembroke...
Hey Mom,
The pants fit great, and we won't know any transfer news until Saturday or Sunday. Things are still fine with Elder Tyler. Robert and Jasmine were out of town this week so we will be seeing them next weekend. Finding was tougher this week, but we were able to find a few more kids at the college, Dennis and Demarco, also a single mother named Shannon. I think the thing I have learned the most while living in Pembroke is patience.
