Companion: Elder Niemann
Today's email was a little different!! We ended up emailing each other back and forth, so it was a little bit more like a chat session.
Elder Shoemaker: Hey hows it going, ok I'm pretty sure I need my social security stuff and my birth certificate and like 2 things that state my residency in Utah if I want to get the document notarized. I'm also pretty sure that I'm gaining weight. It kinda sucks, but you really cant choose what your eating every night because your always eating at a members house every night and they usually go all out for the missionaries.
Elder Shoe's Mom: Are you still on the computer?
I
will email the Mission Office and let's see if we can't get this
thing resolved. It will work out okay honey. No worries. The
pictures you are sending are sure amazing!!! We love the one with you on
the rock and the ocean splashing!!!
Elder Shoemaker: We went on another hike this morning to some more waterfalls. It was pretty cool, we had to climb down the roots of some trees to get to some places.
Elder Shoe's Mom: Are there any parts on the paperwork that you don't know and need me to tell you why your on the computer? The pictures are sure amazing Tanner!! As far as the food thing goes, just try your best to eat in moderation. Eat slowly and take your time so that they can't continue to feed you more if you eat fast!! Just keep active, you'll be alright.
Elder Shoemaker: Then we drove around and chilled on some sweet rocks that sent the water shooting up. we had to wait forever to get those cool shots with the water shooting up behind me, but it was worth it. I'm no longer one of the newest missionaries either. Yeah, Im kinda a little stressed about the whole drivers license thingy, they wont let it be notarized unless I have those things. O man I'm also kinda stressed about getting fat if you haven't noticed yet.

| Soooooooo ELDER SHOEMAKER right here!!!! |
Elder Shoe's Mom: Yes,
I've noticed both things!!!! OK, let me contact the mission office and
let's see what needs to happen. Did you try to go in and get it
notarized? They told you, you need your birth certificate and SS#?
Would any other ID work? Let's see what the mission office says. Don't worry so much about the weight thing, try to let it go bud....cuz it will disrupt your missionary work.
Just pray for STRENGTH....so that you can let it go and keep focused.
Like I said before eat in moderation, eat slowly....We
sure love you! Kinda fun to chat with you real time!
Elder Shoemaker: Doreen's baptism is getting pushed back to the 13th of April. I think its so her
family can be there, but Kalei is getting baptized still on the 30th and they are
both rock solid. I got the paperwork thing all figured out I think, but I
also think that I need my license number also so kinda don't know what to do
with that. Just to let you know I really like all the emails {his missionary friends and cousins} that your sending
me in the mail just keep them coming if you want.
Elder Shoe's Mom: HEY...lucky day!! I have your driver license number!!! Dad's going to send you a little note while I look it
up.
Elder Shoe's Dad chimes in: Hiya,
Buddy. Don't stress too much about the eating thing. I gained a few
pounds when I went to Georgia. When you are at a dinner, just take small
portions, eat slowly, and it's okay to say "no thank you - I'm
full". Allow your brain to realize your tummy is full by eating
slower. Maybe start some basic exercise daily too. That's where I
started some good exercise habits in my mission.
Love, Dad!
Elder Shoemaker: I only have like 15 minutes though and sending all these pictures slows me
down. And my brain is kinda in a thousand places at once right now. They told
me that I needed a state I.D. or something. Things are going pretty OK here. It's not even hard to budget our money I have
like a boatload left over every month. Elder Niemann and I slept outside
like last week. haha. Behind the chapel it was nice, except the freakin cat was
annoying. {meow}
Elder Shoe's Mom: Here
is your DL # {insert blah blah blah}. Here is the plan. I'm going to email the
Mission Home and see if they can't help you directly. If we still come up against a wall, then I'll mail the documentation that you need. It's very frustrating I know, but there has to be a way to do this
without having a DL! So sorry for the mess.......just be strong and it
will work out. Have faith. Hey what about the USB thing? Answer that
question for me. Music, talks and stuff that you want me to send? Good
job on the money!!! That's awesome. We
sure love you!!! Love the pictures too. I'll
be sending and Easter box soon. HUGS --xoxoxoxo MOM
Elder Shoemaker: About the USB some cars you can just plug it straight into
it but not ours. Just send it to me in like MP3 or something then ill just put
it on the ipod shuffle i think that should work. I have short time I cant think
what I should say. Umm I guess I love you. Ya that work.
