"goin' to the temple and we're, gonna get baptized.."

Hi Friends!

Lots and lots happened this week, and it feels like each week I have less and less time to share it! Gah.

We met with one of Juttas friends this week, she called us and said she thought he might be interested. He wasn't very interested after all, at least, not in what we had to share. It was really rough on Jutta having someone she'd known for so long turn around and try to tear her down, but it reminded me of something that Bishop shared with us that had been in a teacher training meeting they had. "We teach by light waves, not by sound waves". It's so true too. We can talk their ear off and flap our jaws all the day long, but its not going to do anyone any good if they aren't open to it and seeking for the Light that Christ can be in our lives. Seek for it y'all, its there.

We went and visited Lelani at the beginning of the week and when we were about to leave, Abby the 6 y/o, asked if we could say a prayer so we all took our seats, as assigned by the 5 y/o Eli. Sister Jensen was directed to guide Abby in her prayer and as she whispered to Abby, the 5, 6, and 7 year-olds all repeated what she said. It made my week. They followed her until she was about to close the prayer and then Lelani jumped in to add something, and I finished it up. It was THE best group prayer that has ever been said. I love the small things that can make an impact and am so grateful for the way my heart has grown here.

We also did a TON of service this week and were running back and forth like the chickens at Grandpas farm(;)) we no longer have the second car, which was rough, especially cause we had planned the week with a car in mind and it was taken earlier than expected (tear), but life goes on. . . I guess.

ALSO, we went to the temple with Jutta this weekend!!!! It was phenomenal. The spirit was powerful, and it was such a blessing to be able to attend, especially with people whom I have grown to love so much. (in case y'all are unaware, I LOVE THESE PEOPLE AND THIS PLACE)

So many miracles coming. as we increase our faith and keep our eyes open to see His hand in our lives, we'll find it, I promise.

Much Love!
Sister Shuldberg

p.s. the subject is referring to the same line Sister Jensen was singing ALL WEEKEND lol, it was great, cause there was a couple in our ward who was sealed that same weekend and she had been singing it that week too, *sigh* love

"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
