Week 14 - (10/27/2014) - It Is A Honor

Elder McSheehy sounded GREAT today on his brief email.  He is still teaching a lot!  He was a bit concerned about getting transferred this week.  I don't think he wanted to leave these kind people he has been teaching so often.  

Every 6 weeks his mission president decides which missionary is assigned to which area.  So Elder McSheehy could be relocated every 6 weeks if his Mission President feels that is where he should serve.  He will not be transferred this week.  He was very happy about that.  He was not only happy about staying where he is located now but he was SUPER happy that he will now be a trainer to a new missionary coming in Tuesday.  "I'm am super excited to be training a new missionary.  It is honor."  "I am a much better leader then I am a follower.  Even when I don't know what I am doing."

 Anyone that knows Noah, knows how much he loves animals.  He said "Hey Mom, I found Toe Tiger a girlfriend."  HaHa  (Toe Tiger is Noah's cat that looks just like this one in the picture.)



"Tell everyone to have a great week.  I am doing fine and having fun.  Thank you so much for all the love and support you send my way.  I love you all!  Elder McSheehy "

        

Week 13 - (10/20/2014) - Happy Halloween

    

  Hello Everyone.  Once again Elder McSheehy has been so busy that he didn't have time to write a formal blog entry.  He did send some interesting pictures with a few captions.





"Who knew that whoopee cushions could pop?" "That is what happens to them when my companion sits on them.  Hahahaha"

Elder McSheehy received some great Halloween pictures to decorate his room from the primary children here in Fort Walton Beach.  "Thank You FWB Primary!"

"Just a quick update on the man we met a few weeks ago.  The one that was having a pretty bad day and asked us who Nephi was.  Well, we went by to see him this week.  He is still reading everyday and very interested in learning about the Gospel.  He just wants some time to think and pray about things.  But he is doing much better then when we first met him."

"Thank you to everyone that has been writing me this week.  I got tons of mail from so many people.  I a great colorful letter from Jackie too."  "I hope you all have a wonderful week!"  Elder McSheehy

Week 12 - (10/13/2014) - Super Busy

Hello Everyone - I received several pictures and a few short emails from Elder McSheehy this week  However, he has been so busy that he did not have a chance to write an official blog entry.  He said that he has "been teaching a lot and been super busy".  He sent the picture below of a group.  He promised me he was in the picture but challenged me to find him.  Can you find him?  Hint - he is holding bush clippers.  After a while I finally found him.  Good Luck.  I promise, he is really there.

 

Pretty funny huh?

Noah sent me this image.  Isn't that the truth?  We can become anything we want with His help.

 "Hope you all have a great week!  I love you All!"

Elder McSheehy

Week 11 - (10/06/2014) - I Love Watching General Conference

Hey Everyone,

I have had an awesome week!  I love being out here with all of these great missionaries.  I haven't met a missionary I wouldn't love to be companions with.  I love these guys.  Our district is so much fun to be around.

I have heard from so many people this week.  Brother Wagner A.K.A Brother Swagner or Superman - so good to hear from you - I love you man.  Mrs Peters - one of my all time favorite teachers!  Thanks!  That is just to mention a few.  Thank you so much Mom, Granny, Sister Tammy, Skyler, Ashlyn, and Sister Wright.  (Sister Wright sent me this awesome popcorn bowl - thank you).  A big thank you to the Christopherson Family too.  To ALL of my friends and family - Thank you so much!  I love you all!

This week was really amazing!  I love watching General Conference!  The prophets that live on the earth today speak 2 times a year in what we call general conference.  It is really cool to get to hear the modern day revelation.  A lot of times it is about simple things we need to do.  Like loving and keeping our families together & missionary work.

If we all think about it, those are the things we need to work on first.  Lately you can see in the world how Satan has been attacking the family.  We need to focus on the revelations given to us and strengthen these family bonds.  If this doesn't make since, just ask a missionary near you :D

Sometimes there are things you want that you just can't have.  But there are also things you have that you could never want more.  I have a perfect family.  A Mom and Dad who love me, along side of a little sister who loves me just as much.  I see people walking around with their little siblings and I just think about how much I would pay to be with my little sister for one more day before I left.  But no matter what comes, I know we will be with each other for eternity.  I wish everyone had a family like mine.  Or even an understanding of there heavenly family.  I guess that is one of the reasons I decided to leave and serve a mission.  I left my family for 2 years so that others can be with their families for eternity.

I love you guys.  Have a nice week!

Elder Noah McSheehy
