Yes, I'm the new one!! Hello, I'm Sister Shuldberg :)
oh, the soundtrack of a new area. Gotta love it. Today is day 6 in Selah and boy has it been strange. When I was in Terrace Heights, we would spend our Pdays here, so I'm having all sorts of flashbacks. But it has been good.
We ended our time in Goldendale saying goodbye to a few more people we love and having one more lesson with Steve. He truly is a wonderful man. He's been reading and praying and we read more with him on Tuesday and talked about baptism and he set a goal to quit smoking by Thanksgiving. He's so sweet and sincere in his desire to follow Jesus Christ and knows that the help he receives from the Lord will be crucial in making any changes. and though we had to say goodbye, he told us that he is sure "our spirits will cross paths again" how sweet.
Transfers were CRAZY. and adjusting to a new area has been weird and very fun. It's cool and strange to have another opportunity to tell people all about you and almost reinvent yourself. thankfully, I haven't felt an intense need to change everything, but this gives me another chance to improve even more. Weirdest thing, we went to Walmart(oh how I missed it) on Wednesday to get me some groceries until we could come today and I saw Taleesa Crawford AND Bishop Johnson from the Terrace Heights ward! It was a blast from the past lol.
So, my new companion is Sister McKnight. She's 24, from Wichita, Kansas, and number 6 out of 8 kids. She wants to be a mental health counselor, and now I feel like I'm writing her dating profile.. lol she's been out almost 4 months and just barely finished her training, but has a super strong testimony and a very unique perspective that is likely going to teach me a lot more than it teaches her. She's also 5'11".. some would argue 6'.. and can reach everything on the top shelf so easily, I love it. no counter climbing for me :)
We're working with some really wonderful people here. and I'm super grateful for them and for the ward. Sister McKnight and I are making a greater effort to help the members to share the gospel with their friends and the other day, at dinner one woman was telling us about the girls she works with and the nervous excitement she had when she decided to follow up with one about something she'd given her was so familiar. I love seeing the light that the Gospel brings to peoples faces. and hopefully, that light will keep growing brighter, its the best light there is :)
I love you all!!

p.s. the first quote was when some guy invited Sister McKnight and I to join their Halloween party cause they needed teams of 4 for beer pong and flip cup.. so we gave him a pamphlet :)
