"as the mother of 10 children.." you'll have to watch the women's session of conference to get the reference ;)
Hello hello!
I can't even begin to express the highs and lows of this week. To begin: the pictures included are, in no particular order, my dear sweet nutso companion, the Sunnnyside sign because we had Zone Conference this week!, the sisters at zone conference, sweet Sister Kempt who is leaving for Arizona for the winter, and dear old Don, the grumpy ol' veteran.
That was probably the saddest part of the week. We've been meeting with him weekly for two months and he loves learning about the gospel, but he's not ready to allow Christ to heal him. The Atonement cannot help him if he doesn't accept it and do the things we've all been commanded to do. And he's not ready to forgive himself yet. He's not ready to feel loved by our Father in Heaven. I cried when we left, simply because he doesn't realize how much this matters. But he still being prepared; God's not done with him, thank goodness He doesn't give up.
Last week was way tough, but this week started off good, I think I had a wall that needed to be broken down to truly feel and recognize the Spirit again, and it was down. :) The revelation was flowin'.
Cool thing! On Tuesday we were practicing what we wanted to say to people if we met them in random places and Sister Glover(as the missionary)sat down next to me(the person) and introduced herself and the name that came to mind when I introduced myself was Cassie. No big deal. things went on throughout the day, whatever. THEN, that afternoon we were going to go see if we could catch Cory and instead we met his daughter... wait for it.. Cassie. She was super nice and we talked a lot about God and finding purpose in life. She was visiting Goldendale for a few weeks to find some clarity and we shared the Book of Mormon and how it can provide answers to a lot of questions in our hearts and souls. She was very excited and I know that we were meant to meet her. It was so totally wicked.
We met with Steve this week! We read the Book of Mormon and it was super spirit filled. Plus, he watched conference Sunday morning and really liked it. He's such a cute old man.
Zone Conference and General Conference were both inspired. It was way cool because some of the topics were things that I had studied throughout this last week. 10/10 would recommend. highly encourage everyone to go check it out. If we already did, watch/listen/read again cause there's still lots to learn from the servants of the Lord.
Okay, Last thing! does anyone remember me telling about Tyler? He called us yesterday!! ahhh. we were thrilled. He told us that some hard thing had been going on over the last couple of weeks and that our conversation 2 weeks ago really helped him. He said he has the Book of Mormon next to his bed and has been praying non stop and he knows meeting us made a difference. and we were about to the point that we didn't think he was going to call. God is in the details. :)
My dear friends, I know this Gospel is the truth. I'm grateful beyond belief that I have been allowed to come be a part of the Lord's work and to grow in ways I probably don't know (hopefully). Don't ever stop growing, it'll only hurt you.
Much Love,
Sister Shuldberg
p.s to top off the cold weather that's rolling into Goldendale, our power is out lol 👍
