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..

"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.

"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
