General Conference and Singing to Stoners

Hey Hey Hey!

How goes it?
Ephrata is doing well, couple announcements before we begin:

1. Conference was phenomenal, if you didn't watch it, go do so now. One of my particular favorites was given Lynn G Robbins and I highly recommend it to anyone who has ever lived or breathed, especially to those who have done both.
2. We just got a car! The Elders in Quincy sideswiped their car so its going into the shop to get fixed mid-April. Said shop is in Ephrata, so we get to use the car until it needs to go in! what what!

Jutta is being baptized and confirmed this weekend! Its way exciting, she's absolutely thrilled. She met the elders the other day and as introduction she said "I'm Jutta, I'm getting baptized April 7th". isn't that the greatest? We watched conference with her, and she loved it! ah, she's amazing!

We saw lots of little miracles this week, one of them being that we found a new investigator at approx 8:45 last night. We went by Jeff cause he told us evenings works and its so hard trying by people that late, he opened the door and was like "i'd let you in, but these guys are smoking pot and they're drunk" very considerate to not want us enveloped in that, but we talked to him for a bit and then one of the self- proclaimed "potheads" asked us to sing him a song. We thought, why not so we sang them the first verse of "Nearer My God To Thee" and said a prayer with them. Michael, the one who asked for a song, made us hold their hands while we prayed ("you have to") and when we closed the prayer, he started his own prayer and thanked God for sending us to him and said that we had blessed his life, etc. It was sweet. Kind of a strange occurrence, but we have an appointment with Jeff, the sober one, next week, so win-win right?

this is a corgi we met driving out in Soap Lake, we met a lot of dogs this week :) good times

More pictures to come cause we took a billion lol

Much Love!
Sister Shuldberg

p.s. we had dinner with a member this week and played Zombies and Survivors with their 7 y/o. I was dubbed a zombie and may I say made it fairly realistic. My ankle was not happy with my running and falling, but it was a good time.

Love you all!

this is the epitome of our relationship lol, shes a dork and I laugh A LOT

"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...
