"you're gonna get sun cancer!!"

Hello All!!

Another week gone, another 3 hours added to how much sleep I'll need when I'm home lol. 

Few updates:

-we learned/observed how to fix a sprinkler system, so I know what my career will be! #startingourowncompany
-we learned to play shuffleboard
-Sister Wilcox is teaching me how to play the Ukelele(what what!) will send something when I have gained actual abilities.
-ahaha, also, at church yesterday, Dillon(who is 13) came in during the sacrament and sat next to us for approximately 13 seconds then stood, and walked to the front and across to fist bump his friend William and then promptly sat down with Williams family, in front of the entire ward lol, it was hard not to laugh. 
-I learned this week that even if we don't seem to be fulfilling our purpose with others, if we're coming unto Christ, we've had success. 

On Saturday, we didn't have any set appointments, they'd fallen through. We visited quite a few potential investigators and set up some appointments for the following week and it felt fairly productive. For dinner, we were invited to our Bishops home for a BBQ with 3 other families form the ward, two of which were newly moved in families. We were very excited and planned accordingly for our dinner message. We went and were able to build some stronger member relationships and talked to some of their kids about missionary opportunities that they were having or could have. we shared our message and the Spirit was so strong, and it ended really well. Then we ended the day with tracting and although we didn't get to do much lesson teaching, we bore our testimonies throughout the day, and we'd brought the Spirit into many peoples days even for just a moment. As I wrote in my journal Saturday night, I felt like I was achieving my purpose. I felt closer to Christ than I had in the last few weeks, maybe more. It was a miracle for me to see and feel the results of simple acts like those that can bring the Light of the Gospel more fully into the world. 

In regards to the subject line, Sister Wilcox basically couldn't speak yesterday and said perfect, quotable, one-liners, ALL DAY. So I laughed a lot all day :)

Sorry there isn't more, there's always so much more to share, but NO time

I love you ALL!
Sister Shuldberg

The pictures include meeting Kiki, the sassiest 6 year old on the planet.. haha she cut roses off her moms bushes to give to us, Sister Wilcox using a water balloon as a stress ball and popping it on herself while we were telling someone about the Book of Mormon, a BEAUTIFUL sunset(mom you would die), and my nut of a companion when its too hot to have your hair down. not necessarily in that order..

"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..

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...
