"I'm gonna call you hyena"

Hello friends!

So last Monday, we had the best gyros this side of the Atlantic at a Greek Monastery Bakery. It was a blast takin a little trip to Greece for the afternoon :) the bees just loved us lol.

We visited with Katie this week who was baptized a little over a year ago. We watched Elder Taniela B. Wakolos talk from General Conference "Saving Ordinances Will Bring Us Marvelous Light". It was way impactful. She was able to relate it to her and her husband and the way that they are growing together and then we talked to her boys about reading the scriptures every day and showed them the app so they could. Later she texted us "Hey ladies! I just had to share with you thank you so much for recommending the Bible app... We are on our way to the Dalles to go grocery shopping and Evan brought the phone with him and he is reading to Landon... So so cute 😍🙌 he is so excited about it he was like "mom this is so cool they have quizzes, games, the Bible, you can do so much stuff on here!" 😄" Very cute. Its way cool to see kids eating it up.

Peg got baptized on Wednesday! I didn't get to go because we wouldn't have been home on time coming back from Ephrata, but I got to skype in. I didn't realize how excited I was for her until I started bawling lol. so much emotion in such little time. Thank goodness for technology so I could be a part of that.

We had interviews with President Jackman on Saturday. He and his wife are amazing people and they are doing so much good for this mission. Fun fact: President Jackman grew up with the mission president of the Salem Oregon mission, weird huh?

Also,.. *drumroll please* WES CAME TOP CHURCH YESTERDAY!! and he already knew some people. He really liked it and had to leave early but he didn't want to :) love that kid.

I love y'all lots!!

p.s. quote I heard this morning "I have so much to be grateful for, that it would be disrespectful to God if I wasn't happy" words to live by. That's all, folks.

"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. Too much to say and I'm wasting time explaining. I dunno where to even start. Announcements: I will be leaving the MTC on October 10. Please feel free to mail me things at the following address: Sister Karlee Hansen Shuldberg OCT10 WA-YAK 2005 N 900 E Unit 163 Provo, UT 84602 Also, theres these websites called dearelder.com and mtcmissionary.com through which you can send me things too. If its getting closer to my departure date, send it to the mission home in Yakima..I'll add that address next week. So my district here is super awesome. My companion is Sister Cannell. Shes so understanding, and an amazing listener and I'm learning alot from her. there's us, and Sisters Hatch and Richmond. At first, it was weird to call people Elder and Sister and I often for

"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
