"Why are you out bothering people?"

Hi Friends!

Fun Story: we went to visit a  man named Jose to whom we'd given a Book of Mormon and he said we could come back and talk more about it. It had been a while since we'd seen him, he wasn't home usually and we knocked on the door and I could not tell you what he looked like, so he could have answered the door and I wouldn't have known it. Well... a man answered the door and the conversation went as follows:

Me: "Hi! Is Jose here?"
Him: "No."
M: "Oh, okay." *I extend my hand* "Well, I'm Sister Shuldberg, what's your name?"
H: *no reaction to my outreached hand* "Jose... but I'm not interested.."

We still don't know if that was the Jose we originally met, or if there are multiple Jose's living there, or what, but we laughed about it.

In other news, we almost hit 60 degrees on Saturday! This isn't winter! And poor Arizonian Sister Fleming still wears her coat all day every day. 

We didn't have a whole lot of  big exciting things happen this week, but I found an awesome scripture the other day during the best part of the day: Personal Study! It's 2 Ne 8:7. The part I loved was the second half which reads: "fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings." It led me to D&C 30:11: "And your whole labor shall be in Zion, with all your soul, from henceforth; yea, you shall ever open your mouth in my cause, not fearing what man can do, for I am with you. Amen." It was really cool to find cause being bold is kinda scary sometimes, but when we truly love His children and trust in him, there's no need to fear really anything. the one who can do EVERYTHING is on our side, so why fear those who can do almost nothing? 

Fear Not everyone,
Much Love,
Sister Shuldberg

p.s. the note is from a woman we had an appointment to see, but she wasn't home. We wrote her a note back and left her a Restoration pamphlet.:) love y'all Sister Sheulburg ;)

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 mou...

Kind of a walking area...

Hi friends! So I don't actually know how to condense everything that I want to share into a feasible email, so just a disclaimer: I totally don't expect you to read all of this. It's a heck of a lot of information. SOO... We got to go to the temple on Tuesday! As a mission we get to go once every six months, usually in October and April. Our zone all went together to the Columbia River temple, which is way tiny, but it was so wonderful. After a crazy week of so much new and nothing familiar, the temple was way nice to get to recuperate a little.  Wednesday was really chill. We got to brush horses which I loved. they are so calm, at least the ones Sue lets us brush, and it's nice to do something that doesn't require a whole lot of thinking. Sue, the owner of the ranch we went to is so loving and she's kinda hilarious too. She calls us her missionaries or her sisters and says a prayer with us every time we come.  Thursday.. we got Margaret back on d...

Week ..4?

Hi Friends! This is technically finishing up my fourth week, but counting them isn't gonna last very long cause it all blends together sometimes.  PSA: will anyone who has pictures of us (me with you etc) send them? I didn't bring ANY for fear of homesickness, but now I really want them. Other PSA: DearElder doesn't work outside the MTC just fyi Other other PSA: my address for the mission is the following: Sister Karlee Hansen Shuldberg Washington Yakima Mission 1006 S 16th Ave Yakima, WA 98902 Send me stuff! I'll try to write back :) Soooo..., I'm in the mission field!! Aaahhh, can you believe it! It's actually kinda weird, but I already love it and It's so much better than the MTC, at least for me right now it is. i may miss the MTC later, but theses last 6 days have been good majority of the time.  buncha things: -One of the Elders in my MTC district legit laughs like Bob from Monsters v. Aliens and its amazing -Our last Sunday, I ...
