"Sisters! Guess who just set a date for November 10!!!" -Sherri Allen

Hello hello!

We've had a difficult time finding this week, but there were moments throughout the entire week where we were reminded that God is aware of us and exactly where we are. In one instance, we'd had little luck with the people we had planned in that day, and as we pulled out of the parking lot, Sister McKnight suggested that we drive by the Spirit and knock a random door. So we did, each time she suggested I turn was a moment when I had felt we needed to turn the same way she'd suggested. When we stopped, we got out of the car to talk to a pair of men walking before going to knock on the door. One of the men was an Israeli man who had just talked with missionaries in Yakima and had taken a Book of Mormon and was planning to read it! He was so cool and so excited to see us. He then proceeded to talk us up to the man he was walking with and they invited us to come walk with them and talk with them this coming week! Totally random and totally inspired. The Israeli man even told us that we had made his day. :)

For Halloween, we are all supposed to be in our apartments at 6, but we got special permission to stay out to go to the ward Trunk-or-Treat and it was so much fun! There were two girls from our ward dressed up as Sister Missionaries, and a girl and boy from 2nd ward who both dressed up as Elders. Amanda and her girls came and Brad(her fiance) brought his son too! It was so awesome to see them and for me to be able to meet so many members. Then, the Iversons brought us a pizza because they knew we had to be in early. (also three days later they brought us donuts for breakfast.. so good)

The next day, we had an appointment with our car.. and I left the apartment key on the ring with the fob, so we got a ride back to our apartment but had to sit outside for approx. 2 hours until a different ride picked us up to take us to do service, which we ended up doing in our skirts cause we couldn't get in to change our clothes. Mom, you'll be happy to know that we can't card our door and we tried to get in through the windows, but that didn't work either. All is well thought, its back and we are good. BUT then on Sunday, our car battery died lol and we had to find someone with jumper cables to be our knight in shining armor. In the process of figuring that out, I saw Brother and Sister Jenkins from Terrace Heights!!! 

Peace out!!

p.s. JOSEPH IS GETTING BAPTIZED THIS SATURDAY in case you didn't get the subject line lol

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 ...
