He is a God of Miracles




Hi Friends!

So.... Sister Zollinger is being transferred to Wenatchee, like forever away. going to miss her so much, but Terrace Heights is seriously on fire. 

We saw so many miracles this week! The other day, Sister Zollinger remembered how President Lewis once said to ask Less Actives if we could practice lessons on them because lots of times they don't feel like they need lessons but its a way to help them feel the Spirit, so we figured we'd give it a shot. IT TOTALLY WORKED. We taught the Plan of Salvation to a less active elderly couple who hadn't been to church in a few years and halfway through the lesson, Sister Weldon was crying so hard that she couldn't read the scripture we gave her. It was so powerful to see the change in their countenance as we talked and afterward (and since) Brother Weldon has thanked us profusely for coming over. Its a really good feeling to be able to see people open their hearts to the Spirit. We also "practiced" the Gospel of Jesus Christ on Virginia, who is also a Less Active and she hasn't even stepped foot in a church since 1997. When we asked her to come to church, she told us that since we'd been coming over she was seeing what she'd been missing and knew she needed to come back, regardless of how her husband feels (he's not a member). She came to church yesterday at 8:30, and was there early, and stayed the entire time. She was so glad to be there and there was a major change in her since the week before. so grateful to President for the suggestion and that sister Zollinger was listening. 

In connection with that, this week, I've been studying a lot about how god is unchanging and if he was a God of miracles then, why can't he be a God of Miracles now?. I testify that Heavenly Father is a God of Miracles. We saw so many this week, and more are coming. we can expect miracles according to our faith and its crazy to see that actually happening when you open your eyes to it.

In other news, we did a lot of walking this week, which was totally rough, but it was a grand ol' time and being physically exhausted by the end of day really makes you feel like you did a lot.  

I feel that I've grown a lot this week, and the best part is, even though I know there's so much farther to go, I feel ready to work at it because of those on my side :) 

Okay, well, I thought I had more to share, but nothing else is coming to mind, so..

I love you all!
Sister Shuldberg

"We are willing to knock on strangers doors" -the theme of missionary work

Other potential subject lines from this week: "Let your grammar nazi go nuts over that!" -Sister Walker. Yup, she loves me.  "I love us". Guys, Sister Walker and I are like a comedic duo. It's so much fun. It. Has. Been. A week. We've had quite a bit of snow too, which cause some issues with commuting places.. and seeing how our two areas are full of small towns that are in the hills, its caused a kink in our plans (thumbs up). BUT, all is well because leading up to the catastrophic "snowmageddon" as they are calling it, were a ton of Miracles! Alrighty y'all take a seat, strap in, grab some popcorn. I got lots to share.  So, Monday night, it snowed a bunch, so we did District Council over FB video chat, which was fun lol, there was a lag, so the hymn singing was WAY OFF, but it was good. We had interviews and since we had to do that over FB too, I FB chatted with Sister Jackman, man I love that lady. She's so much like my...

"unicorns and caticorns and mermicorns" -Laila

Hello world! Quick rundown of our week(cause time is hecka limited) So, we didn't go ANYWHERE Monday through Friday(except when the RS president cam e and took us to go grocery shopping). Why? Our car was dead as a doornail AND the snow was much too much. But, we talked to lots of people through technology(blessed) and Sister Walker made her first snowman AND went sledding for the first time(we had to trek down to the mailbox to mail a letter).  We had virtual district council again, which was fun and even did a virtual roleplay, very weird.  The Zone Leaders sent us a song on Thursday cause I was havin a cabin fever freakout (thumbs up) it was sweet, and it motivated our FB post, spreadin the love.  On Saturday, we experienced FREEDOM anew. The world is beautiful, especially through a car window driving away from our home-turned-prison. It was a glorious day and we went up to Goldendale that evening for Steve's baptism! Those of you who are dedicated fans may r...
