"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 ;)

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...
