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..

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 ...
