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

"We are willing to knock on strangers doors" -the theme of missionary work

Other potential subject lines from this week: "Let your grammar nazi go nuts over that!" -Sister Walker. Yup, she loves me.  "I love us". Guys, Sister Walker and I are like a comedic duo. It's so much fun. It. Has. Been. A week. We've had quite a bit of snow too, which cause some issues with commuting places.. and seeing how our two areas are full of small towns that are in the hills, its caused a kink in our plans (thumbs up). BUT, all is well because leading up to the catastrophic "snowmageddon" as they are calling it, were a ton of Miracles! Alrighty y'all take a seat, strap in, grab some popcorn. I got lots to share.  So, Monday night, it snowed a bunch, so we did District Council over FB video chat, which was fun lol, there was a lag, so the hymn singing was WAY OFF, but it was good. We had interviews and since we had to do that over FB too, I FB chatted with Sister Jackman, man I love that lady. She's so much like my...

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...

"So, you're nuuunnnsss......???"

​​Hi Friends! (funny story at the end, so bear with me) We carved pumpkins last Pday, super fun. Sister Zollinger did the Logan temple. look up a picture of the Logan Temple to see how good she did, it's way impressive. We had exchanges on Wednesday!!! my first exchange! I was sooo nervous, but it actually went really well, a lot better than I thought it would at least. Sister Zollinger went with sister McCourt to a different area and Sister Banks came to Terrace heights and I had to take over Terrace Heights, cause Sister Banks didn't know where anything was or who our people are. I was terrified. Plus, pretty much everything I know about being a missionary has to do with Sister Zollinger in some way, shape, of form, so doing all of this with someone different was highly stressful. I t was good preparation for transfers, because as much as I hate to say it, there will come a time when Sister Zollinger and I are no longer companion.. *gasp* I know, I know, scary. Exchanges a...
