"one small voice"

Hello hello dearest family and friends, etc

How is life? This week has been FULL of things to share, courtesy of transfers. Unfortunately, many of those things will not be shared today also because of transfers. We gotta go down to The Dalles for groceries. Yep, that's right folks, your dear Sister Shuldberg is now residing in the one and only Goldendale, Washington!! if you recall, this is where she and her companion Sister Fleming went for a baptism in February. Now she will be working with the people she met that day!

Okay, so leaving Ephrata after being there for 6 months was super hard. But transitioning into Goldendale was way smooth because I've met people here already. And I love it and them.  

So, Sister Glover is my new companion. She's from Orem, Utah and "she's fabulous, she likes to exercise, she's lactose intolerant, and she's super fun". That's what she wants you all to know about her. I want you to know that she really is the greatest. She loves the people in Goldendale(affectionately referred to by many as "old and stale") and we already are working really well together. One of my fave things about her is that no matter what is happening or what we may have just been talking about, anytime she says a prayer, she has the softest, most reverent voice. Essentially, she prays like a child in terms of how humble and trusting she is. I love her.

I love you all as well!
Sister Shuldberg

p.s. the subject line is from a 6 year old boy teaching us how to sing in sign language and he did those same three words probably 23 times :) best part of that day truthfully.

"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...

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...

"So, you're nuuunnnsss......???"

​​Hi Friends! (funny story at the end, so bear with me) We carved pumpkins last Pday, super fun. Sister Zollinger did the Logan temple. look up a picture of the Logan Temple to see how good she did, it's way impressive. We had exchanges on Wednesday!!! my first exchange! I was sooo nervous, but it actually went really well, a lot better than I thought it would at least. Sister Zollinger went with sister McCourt to a different area and Sister Banks came to Terrace heights and I had to take over Terrace Heights, cause Sister Banks didn't know where anything was or who our people are. I was terrified. Plus, pretty much everything I know about being a missionary has to do with Sister Zollinger in some way, shape, of form, so doing all of this with someone different was highly stressful. I t was good preparation for transfers, because as much as I hate to say it, there will come a time when Sister Zollinger and I are no longer companion.. *gasp* I know, I know, scary. Exchanges a...
