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...

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...
