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 mouth and he said "Measure your mission by how much you talk" and I thought, well then I'm definitely good, I can't shut up. But it is so true. If you just open your mouth, the Spirit will put words in that are an answer to someones question, even your own. I was talking and just trying to think out loud and I said something that totally reminded me of why I'm here and I hadn't actually thought about it that way before. 

 5: I saw Emily Johnson and we ate dinner together and it was great. I was hanging on her every word, seriously write me about anything.

 6: I saw Braden Israelsen just totally out of the blue too! I also keep seeing people that I recognize but don't remember their name or that looks familiar but then actually aren't, it's crazy weird here.

 7: I've been saying y'all a lot more 'cause saying "guys" instead of Elders and Sisters isn't acceptable, but "y'all" is! So I'm embracing it

 8: Conference was AMAZING. I got so many answers and I hope you all did too! If you didn't get to watch, or don't know what it is I highly recommend going on lds.org

 8: I got a package from my Mom, I was grinning the whole time until I could go pick it up and it was a nice little piece from home, to even see her handwriting was great honestly.

 9: Story that I forgot to tell last week: I brought an extra bottle of dry scalp shampoo cause utah is the driest it feels like and it opened on the flight and got all over EVERYTHING cause the ziploc bag didn't stay sealed so my quilt was all gross and bad-smelling and these wonderful sisters going to Romania offered to wash it for me cause I was crying in the bathroom trying to clean up the mess, they are wonderful people and I'm gonna miss them so when we leave next week. 

 10: the temple is a blessing and I've seen so many others since arriving here, it's way cool to be able to see Heavenly Fathers hand in literally everything, buut it can be a bit overwhelming too sometimes. 

 I'm learning so much here. I'm learning to love it and to have God's love for his children is so cool.

 Not much time left, working on that whole management thing..

 Farewell!
Much Love, Sister Shuldberg

"Love God with all your heart.."

Hi Friends! It has been a week. dang.  We got to do a whole lot of service this week which was really fun. It's kinda wonderful to get to think all about someone else even for just an hour. I do a heck of a lot of thinking in a day, so I need a break sometimes and service is the way to do it. The great thing is, if you're doing it right, more than just the service projects feel like service, practically all we do as missionaries is serve, so I get to think about others all the time! yay! One of the things we got to do was go brush horses at Hart Ranch. Sue Hart, the owner, is super sweet and she gave us those gloves as a Christmas gift and we're going back this week to help her put up all her Christmas stuff cause she's getting kinda old, plus we love to do that.  I'm coming up on 3 months and since Sister Zollinger is very likely going to be leaving Terrace Heights at the end of this transfer, I've been thinking a lot about what I've learne...

"Hi Girls!!"

HI Friends! So, no I'm not calling you all girls, ANA WAS BAPTIZED ON SATURDAY! and Sister Zollinger and I spent like 20 minutes trying to imitate how she says "girls" cause she's from the Dominican Republic and it sounds great. That's the way she always greets us :) Love her. Her baptism was absolutely wonderful. the Spirit was so strong and we were all crying, and grinning and ahhh it was so powerful.  Some weird things have happened this week. Tuesday at 12:30AM I woke up and started planning for the day, I woke Sister Zollinger and was so urgent about getting it done until she was like "WE'LL PLAN AT 6:30 WHEN WE USUALLY PLAN". yup. Guess I'm Just too excited about all things missionary. whoops.  Margaret is moved out!! Her new apartment isn't in our area, so we have to give her to another set of missionaries :(, but now she can be baptized!! whoo and we can still go to it, holla. Thanksgiving was grand. We went...
