"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

"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...

Hi Friends! Okay, so I know that missions are supposed to be hard (and don't get too crazy, it's still hard) but it's way fun too! All these different people warning me that it would be so hard and all that got me super worried, but I LOVE it. there's something hard everyday, but there are MIRACLES everyday too, it's crazy. We have so many Investigators that are doing so well and it baffles my mind to see their progress. It's truly isn't because of us. We're obedient and do our best to listen to the Spirit. EVERYTHING else is out of our hands. The highlight of this week was Ana, who I mentioned last week. Her baptismal date is set for November 25th and she's practically adopted us, she told us that God sent us to her and she's keeping us, sorry mom. :/ She's got such an affect on all the people that she meets too, She's gonna be the means of so many people coming closer to Christ, I can feel it. We've got so many parents i...
