Timehop: "One year ago today.."

Y'know how Facebook asks if you want to see memories from one year go or five years ago etc? well, as of Thursday, all my 'one years ago's will include a missionary name tag. Can you believe it? You'd think a year would be more noticeable, but I'm still chatty and loud and scatter brained and quirky(don't think 12 years could take some of that outta me), but I read this talk and it was very fitting to the week: "Several years ago I met one of our sons in the mission field in a distant part of the world. He had been there for a year. His first question was this: "Dad, what can I do to grow spiritually? I have tried so hard to grow spiritually and I just haven't made any progress." That was his perception: to me it was otherwise. I could hardly believe the growth that he had gained in just one year. He "knew it not" for it had come as growth, not as a startling experience."

Pretty cool huh? yes, I know.

Our week was full of invitations to church and mini miracles that showed how important it is for all of us to be in tune with the Spirit. A couple of times, we went by someone and caught them at just the right time, or something had just happened and we arrived. I love being an instrument in the Lord's Hands.

Big Miracle! Kaya AND Jaeden are going to the Temple with the youth on Saturday, and because Kaya is going(it's her first time)..... WE GET TO GO TOO! Holla.

Stay tuned for a week of miracles next week, it's gonna be so good :)

Love y'all lots!
Sister Shuldberg

p.s. these pictures need explanations
1. Sister Glover saw an excessive amount of plums on someones tree, so we left this note on their door.

Week 2

Heyo! So this email is prolly gonna be just as harebrained as the last one 'cause I'm still working out the kinks of timing and putting my thoughts in order. So, this is my last Pday in the MTC.. we leave at 230AM next Tuesday, I don't know what that'll mean for emails but there will be another eventually, no worries. Couple things, actually a bunch of things: 1: Sister Cannell drinks chocolate milk WITH ICE. I know weird, but I've decided to be the bigger person and look past it(that's a joke, I love her, it's hard not being able to put a little bit of sarcasm in my emails) 2: Anyone and everyone, please feel free to write/email me, I love hearing about like anything right now haha 3: Role playing is a total blessing, Sister Cannell is pretty shy and it's really helped her come out of her shell a bunch plus it helps to keep me from rambling like I do. 4: Speaking of my rambling, we watched this Elder Holland talk about opening your mou...

Kind of a walking area...

Hi friends! So I don't actually know how to condense everything that I want to share into a feasible email, so just a disclaimer: I totally don't expect you to read all of this. It's a heck of a lot of information. SOO... We got to go to the temple on Tuesday! As a mission we get to go once every six months, usually in October and April. Our zone all went together to the Columbia River temple, which is way tiny, but it was so wonderful. After a crazy week of so much new and nothing familiar, the temple was way nice to get to recuperate a little. Wednesday was really chill. We got to brush horses which I loved. they are so calm, at least the ones Sue lets us brush, and it's nice to do something that doesn't require a whole lot of thinking. Sue, the owner of the ranch we went to is so loving and she's kinda hilarious too. She calls us her missionaries or her sisters and says a prayer with us every time we come. Thursday.. we got Margaret back on d...

Week ..4?

Hi Friends! This is technically finishing up my fourth week, but counting them isn't gonna last very long cause it all blends together sometimes. PSA: will anyone who has pictures of us (me with you etc) send them? I didn't bring ANY for fear of homesickness, but now I really want them. Other PSA: DearElder doesn't work outside the MTC just fyi Other other PSA: my address for the mission is the following: Sister Karlee Hansen Shuldberg Washington Yakima Mission 1006 S 16th Ave Yakima, WA 98902 Send me stuff! I'll try to write back :) Soooo..., I'm in the mission field!! Aaahhh, can you believe it! It's actually kinda weird, but I already love it and It's so much better than the MTC, at least for me right now it is. i may miss the MTC later, but theses last 6 days have been good majority of the time. buncha things: -One of the Elders in my MTC district legit laughs like Bob from Monsters v. Aliens and its amazing -Our last Sunday, I ...
