break 'em break 'em break my ankle...

hey Friends!

this week "was TOTALLY WICKED!" (name that movie)

I feel like its been way more than a week since I sat at this computer in the library last week.. too much to share I guess.

Few highlights;
Last Monday, we had a super fun luau as a zone, pictures to come.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, we did A LOT of service. We pruned trees and cut firewood(pictures to come) during which I legit took a bow saw to my thumb, yes I bled, yes I'm fine, no mom, don't worry. we did a lot of cleaning too, using the same muscles to scrub that I used to saw, so it'd be fair to say I was a tad sore. you don't use those muscles everyday in missionary work y'know
Then, Thursday was ZONE CONFERENCE. It was sweet! I love Zone Conferences. I always leave feeling super motivated and with lots of ideas on how to improve, plus, it's fun and we see friends and we get good food, so win-win-win-win.

Alrighty, So Jutta, mentioned her last week. She is PHENOMENAL. We met with her twice this week and she is practically inhaling everything we put in front of her. She's so excited for her baptism and all that that means to her. She's in love with her new set of scriptures that the Bishop bought her and she's sharing the gospel with her friends and inviting everyone to come to her baptism.

Super exciting things! Joyce came to the Relief Society activity on Saturday and we've been trying for weeks to get her to something. She came and made friends and everything! and then on Sunday....Jeanne and Dennis who are both pretty less active, and Erika and Jutta(investigators) came to church! so much excitement!

Much Love!
Sister Shuldberg

p.s.Super cool scripture that I found this week: Alma 10:17 talks about how Amulek received the servant of the Lord into his home and fed him and the Lord blessed him and his family. Then Amulek goes out a preached the gospel to the people he knew with said servant of the Lord. moral of the story? feed the missionaries, you'll be blessed, then share the gospel.. easy peasy :)

p.p.s. Thursday was Sister Crookstons birthday, so we decorated :)

p.p.p.s. I hit 6 months tomorrow.. if that's not freaky I dunno what is. So to fully embrace the freak out(cause I can feel a breakdown coming) I took 6 month pics! please enjoy..

"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...

I remember laughing, but I don't remember why..

Okay, yes I'm a terrible person, I sent you all those pictures with absolutely no explanation. So get comfortable, here's two weeks worth... EXPLANATION OF LAST WEEKS PICTURES: -SUPER bomb ice cream at East Wind Drive-In in Cascade Locks(Oregon, yep its still weird).. and that was the small -delish tacos from a taco truck(I ate tongue!) -McKenzie's skunk Bumper. he is their pet, and she snuggles with him. They have 2 skunks, 3 possums, a couple raccoons, and a couple deer, as well as 3 dogs, and a couple cats... -Car numero uno is Guapo(our car), car numero dos is Gordo(The Dalles elders car). We had to trade for a couple of days and they took Guapo up to Yakima for some work.. its good to have him home -oh, and Sister Walker eating a cinnamon roll(that McKenzie's dad made) faster than humanly possible Now for this week :) Zone Conference on Tuesday, which was phenomenal, like usual. We have another mission meeting in a few weeks and all the departing mission...

Hi Friends! Okay, so I know that missions are supposed to be hard (and don't get too crazy, it's still hard) but it's way fun too! All these different people warning me that it would be so hard and all that got me super worried, but I LOVE it. there's something hard everyday, but there are MIRACLES everyday too, it's crazy. We have so many Investigators that are doing so well and it baffles my mind to see their progress. It's truly isn't because of us. We're obedient and do our best to listen to the Spirit. EVERYTHING else is out of our hands. The highlight of this week was Ana, who I mentioned last week. Her baptismal date is set for November 25th and she's practically adopted us, she told us that God sent us to her and she's keeping us, sorry mom. :/ She's got such an affect on all the people that she meets too, She's gonna be the means of so many people coming closer to Christ, I can feel it. We've got so many parents i...
