"unicorns and caticorns and mermicorns" -Laila

Hello world!

Quick rundown of our week(cause time is hecka limited)

So, we didn't go ANYWHERE Monday through Friday(except when the RS president cam e and took us to go grocery shopping). Why? Our car was dead as a doornail AND the snow was much too much. But, we talked to lots of people through technology(blessed) and Sister Walker made her first snowman AND went sledding for the first time(we had to trek down to the mailbox to mail a letter).

We had virtual district council again, which was fun and even did a virtual roleplay, very weird.

The Zone Leaders sent us a song on Thursday cause I was havin a cabin fever freakout (thumbs up) it was sweet, and it motivated our FB post, spreadin the love.

On Saturday, we experienced FREEDOM anew. The world is beautiful, especially through a car window driving away from our home-turned-prison. It was a glorious day and we went up to Goldendale that evening for Steve's baptism! Those of you who are dedicated fans may remember Steve from back in September/October. For any newbies out there Sister Glover and I met Steve tracting in Goldendale and taught him until we were sent elsewhere. He was baptized and asked me to speak at his baptism which was a total blessing. In fact, it was an utter miracle that we even got to go with all the snow and wetness. He is so great :) I got a little teary-eyed during my talk and after he said "that was pretty cool how you got emotional" lol, you're welcome that my face leaks a lot.

Lacey and Laila are a mom and daughter we are teaching and they are planning to get baptized on March 23rd. We had a lesson with them this morning and told Laila that next Sunday is my last Sunday and she got kinda sad (my heart) and asked if I would still come visit and make cookies with her when I'm done. Shes the cutest, goofiest 8-year-old and she loves unicorns and slime.

Yesterday was my last Sunday attending the White Salmon ward and Brother Bischoff(from Goldendale) was there as the high council speaker so he called me up to bear my testimony. I talked about you Carson ;) how you ALWAYS bear your testimony, and how I've become that way since my mission. Testimonies are a blessing, cherish them, share them. I'm grateful for mine.

One more week everyone!! Here's to the best week yet!
Love ya! Make good choices!

"He's a good dad"

Hi Friends! Wowee, is there a lot to say. Please excuse the spelling errors. We have an hour to do all letter and email writing and we have to email the Branch President too, so yikes. Too much to say and I'm wasting time explaining. I dunno where to even start. Announcements: I will be leaving the MTC on October 10. Please feel free to mail me things at the following address: Sister Karlee Hansen Shuldberg OCT10 WA-YAK 2005 N 900 E Unit 163 Provo, UT 84602 Also, theres these websites called dearelder.com and mtcmissionary.com through which you can send me things too. If its getting closer to my departure date, send it to the mission home in Yakima..I'll add that address next week. So my district here is super awesome. My companion is Sister Cannell. Shes so understanding, and an amazing listener and I'm learning alot from her. there's us, and Sisters Hatch and Richmond. At first, it was weird to call people Elder and Sister and I often for

"I will go, I will do, the things THE LORD COMMANDS!!"

Hi Friends! So Mission time is so totally warped. The days feel super long and the weeks seem to go by quick-ish, but come Pday I feel like I have no memory of anything that happened that week. And every day ends in a similar way so I have no way of knowing what day it is. Basically my perception of time passing no longer works. It's cool. We had a Trunk-or-Treat on Wednesday and there was this family all dressed up as Harry Potter characters (Carson, you woulda LOVED it) I took a picture but it's kinda blurry. the mom was Professor Trelawny(sp?), the dad was Professor Snape, and then they had Hermione, Harry, Ron, and their little girl was Dobby. Margaret is doing super well. We still don't know if she's moving out or no, so that's concerning, especially as we get closer o her baptismal date, but she's super diligent and is being a member missionary before she is even a member. She reads the Book of Mormon to her mom and is trying to get he

We're the ukeladies!

*takes deep breath* Okay so there is a lot to talk about from this week and like 15 minutes to type this out because I am not good at time management and no I haven't learned that on my mission yet, obviously, thank goodness I still have like 7 1/2 months to go so I can learn how to fix that flaw lol. Any way, major events from the week: Zone Conference was superb! We drove up to Wenatchee for it and it was like an hour drive each way and so we ended up driving 109 miles that day, which is A LOT for us, but its cool it was totally worth it. Sister Jackman talked about earnestly building connections to Heaven(and specifically with each member of the Godhead, which I thought was super cool) we've been able to use that concept over the last couple of days as we've taught and because of the idea that attending church is what builds your connection with the Holy Ghost, WALLS CAME TO CHURCH YESTERDAY!!!!! I literally teared up and could not stop beaming. When Sister Jensen and
