"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 ;)

"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. Too much to say and I'm wasting time explaining.  I dunno where to even start. Announcements:  I will be leaving the MTC on October 10. 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.

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
