Farewell

Hi Friends! So I gave my farewell talk today in sacrament meeting...yikes. Pretty sure I felt like every emotion known to man, briefly. It was weird and felt very jumbled. I had a bunch of things that I wanted to say, but I didn't have a comprehensive order for them, so I just said all of the things almost like a list, at least that's what it felt like. I have never been so glad to have a box of tissues on stand with me, I got up there and my mom just looked at me and there I went, dam broken. Whatever. I said what I needed to say, I made people chuckle, and I lasted my allotted amount of time. Whoop! Lot's of people said it was great and, to quote my visiting teacher who revealed herself today, "inspiring". Pretty cool, huh?

Today wasn't as emotionally draining as I predicted, at least not as teary-eyed but that may be because I lost all of my water during approximately 17 minutes in the chapel. I only have 2ish days left here, but it's not quite as scary anymore. *she says as she tears up while typing* I dunno, maybe I'm lying to you, but I feel peaceful about it, and kinda pumped. TBA if that actually lasts. I may be too busy crying for 18 months to know a difference. Either way, I can't turn back now... Washington gets Sister Shuldberg whether we're ready to meet or not. Much Love, Sister Shuldberg

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 ...
