Week 2



Heyo!

 So this email is prolly gonna be just as harebrained as the last one 'cause I'm still working out the kinks of timing and putting my thoughts in order.

 So, this is my last Pday in the MTC.. we leave at 230AM next Tuesday, I don't know what that'll mean for emails but there will be another eventually, no worries.

 Couple things, actually a bunch of things:

 1: Sister Cannell drinks chocolate milk WITH ICE. I know weird, but I've decided to be the bigger person and look past it(that's a joke, I love her, it's hard not being able to put a little bit of sarcasm in my emails)

 2: Anyone and everyone, please feel free to write/email me, I love hearing about like anything right now haha

 3: Role playing is a total blessing, Sister Cannell is pretty shy and it's really helped her come out of her shell a bunch plus it helps to keep me from rambling like I do.

 4: Speaking of my rambling, we watched this Elder Holland talk about opening your mouth and he said "Measure your mission by how much you talk" and I thought, well then I'm definitely good, I can't shut up. But it is so true. If you just open your mouth, the Spirit will put words in that are an answer to someones question, even your own. I was talking and just trying to think out loud and I said something that totally reminded me of why I'm here and I hadn't actually thought about it that way before. 

 5: I saw Emily Johnson and we ate dinner together and it was great. I was hanging on her every word, seriously write me about anything.

 6: I saw Braden Israelsen just totally out of the blue too! I also keep seeing people that I recognize but don't remember their name or that looks familiar but then actually aren't, it's crazy weird here.

 7: I've been saying y'all a lot more 'cause saying "guys" instead of Elders and Sisters isn't acceptable, but "y'all" is! So I'm embracing it

 8: Conference was AMAZING. I got so many answers and I hope you all did too! If you didn't get to watch, or don't know what it is I highly recommend going on lds.org

 8: I got a package from my Mom, I was grinning the whole time until I could go pick it up and it was a nice little piece from home, to even see her handwriting was great honestly.

 9: Story that I forgot to tell last week: I brought an extra bottle of dry scalp shampoo cause utah is the driest it feels like and it opened on the flight and got all over EVERYTHING cause the ziploc bag didn't stay sealed so my quilt was all gross and bad-smelling and these wonderful sisters going to Romania offered to wash it for me cause I was crying in the bathroom trying to clean up the mess, they are wonderful people and I'm gonna miss them so when we leave next week. 

 10: the temple is a blessing and I've seen so many others since arriving here, it's way cool to be able to see Heavenly Fathers hand in literally everything, buut it can be a bit overwhelming too sometimes. 

 I'm learning so much here. I'm learning to love it and to have God's love for his children is so cool.

 Not much time left, working on that whole management thing..

 Farewell!
Much Love, Sister Shuldberg

"He's a good dad"

Hi Friends! Wowee, is there a lot to say. Please excuse the spelling errors. We have an hour to do all letter and email writing and we have to email the Branch President too, so yikes.

Please feel free to mail me things at the following address: Sister Karlee Hansen Shuldberg OCT10 WA-YAK 2005 N 900 E Unit 163 Provo, UT 84602 Also, theres these websites called dearelder.com and mtcmissionary.com through which you can send me things too. If its getting closer to my departure date, send it to the mission home in Yakima..I'll add that address next week.  So my district here is super awesome. My companion is Sister Cannell. Shes so understanding, and an amazing listener and I'm learning alot from her. there's us, and Sisters Hatch and Richmond. At first, it was weird to call people Elder and Sister and I often for

"I will go, I will do, the things THE LORD COMMANDS!!"

Hi Friends!    So Mission time is so totally warped. The days feel super long and the weeks seem to go by quick-ish, but come Pday I feel like I have no memory of anything that happened that week. And every day ends in a similar way so I have no way of knowing what day it is. Basically my perception of time passing no longer works. It's cool.     We had a Trunk-or-Treat on Wednesday and there was this family all dressed up as Harry Potter characters (Carson, you woulda LOVED it) I took a picture but it's kinda blurry. the mom was Professor Trelawny(sp?), the dad was Professor Snape, and then they had Hermione, Harry, Ron, and their little girl was Dobby.     Margaret is doing super well. We still don't know if she's moving out or no, so that's concerning, especially as we get closer o her baptismal date, but she's super diligent and is being a member missionary before she is even a member. She reads the Book of Mormon to her mom and is trying to get he

"Are you eating the Bible I gave you?!?" -Ally to baby sister Emma

Hello one and all!  Jersey came to church yesterday! :) She is a girl we met a couple weeks ago after reaching out to the missionaries who were here last year and they'd mentioned her parents. When we met her, she asked if we could come read the Bible with her because "I need church". Of course, we agreed. She came for choir practice beforehand and stayed the whole time. Her first Sunday, she was there for over 4 hours, and she loved every bit of it :) and they loved her :)  We also got to do some community-lighting this week! If you aren't friends with me on Facebook.. shame on you, but it's okay, I will share. Selah has a couple places around that have apples with the word Selah in them(probably because Washington apples, and because Treetop is located here) so we went in to City Hall Tuesday morning and asked the mayor if she would be okay with us adding something to the one just outside the building, she said yes :) She also asked me to tell the man walkin
