Is Vitamin D Milk the same as Whole Milk?

Hi Friends!

So, we just found out we're getting smartphones in April, so that's weird, I currently have an LG flip phone, quite the difference. We're all still deciding how we feel about it, there's pros and cons to everything, but it'll be good :)

It's been a good week. I'm learning more and more to judge the quality of my week by effort instead of perceived success. I want to be able to end every day by saying "I gave my all, I did everything I could, and put my heart and soul into it.". There's contentment in knowing its out of my hands. Doesn't sound like me does it? Yeah, it's weirding me out a little bit. 

In other news, related to the subject line, we delivered some milk the other day. Lelani is a less active member we've been trying to see, and we reached out to her on Saturday to invite her to a ward activity and found out she has the measles.. yeah. So we were like, uh, let us know if there's anything we can do for you, or bring you.. and she needed Whole Milk! Well, we just happened to have a full, unopened gallon of WHOLE MILK, so I got really excited since people don't usually tell us things we can do when we ask like that. So we start to head over(keep in mind, we're walking, in the cold, with major wind, and a gallon of refreshing, fresh-from-the-fridge milk) when we discover its Vitamin D milk, not Whole Milk... We don't know the difference, or lack of, so we call like three different people trying to find out if that's acceptable in the place of whole milk. It was a very stressful walk. But she accepted the milk and we got to visit with her, it was grand. :) Below are selfies of our milk delivering adventure. As well as the district, and Pday funtime :D

It's been really cool this week, as I've tried to focus more on doing all I can do, I've developed more love for the people around me and for each aspect of missionary work. 

Always Learning, Still New...
Much Love!

"This is Sister Shuldberg and Sister Jensen.. er no Sister Wilcox"

Oh, the adjustments that come with a new companion. and you'd think with how many times I've introduced Sister Wilcox to people, I would've known to answer the phone with her name.. guess not oh well, Hi Friends! (I can't not start my email with that, I'm on a 7 1/2 month roll) It seriously feels like its been 3 weeks since I emailed last.. and each day has felt like at least 3 days.. does that add up right?   Ephrata is lighting up y'all. funny thing about being a missionary, I get crazy excited about fairly minor things. For example, one of those miracles that I got to witness was as we talked to a man named Garrett. He did not seem interested, he actually looked almost amused, but as we continued talking with him and testified of the Book of Mormon, his expression softened. He accepted a copy and said we could come back. I'd never noticed peoples countenance change so clearly, it was cool to witness.  more miraculous, Debbie brought her boyfriend S...

He is a God of Miracles

Hi Friends! So.... Sister Zollinger is being transferred to Wenatchee, like forever away. going to miss her so much, but Terrace Heights is seriously on fire.  We saw so many miracles this week! The other day, Sister Zollinger remembered how President Lewis once said to ask Less Actives if we could practice lessons on them because lots of times they don't feel like they need lessons but its a way to help them feel the Spirit, so we figured we'd give it a shot. IT TOTALLY WORKED. We taught the Plan of Salvation to a less active elderly couple who hadn't been to church in a few years and halfway through the lesson, Sister Weldon was crying so hard that she couldn't read the scripture we gave her. It was so powerful to see the change in their countenance as we talked and afterward (and since) Brother Weldon has thanked us profusely for coming over. Its a really good feeling to be able to see people open their hearts to the Spirit. We also "practiced" th...

Who's ready to #LighttheWorld!?!?!

What's crackalackin? I'll tell you what,... I got my trunky call this week :( Basically that is when the office missionaries call you because you have 3 months left on your mission and they have to get info for flight plans.. :( I cried; I didn't expect it to come this fast or to be this sad.  On a happy note, Brad and Amanda are my fave people. We had an amazing lesson with them on Tuesday. We taught Brad about the gospel being restored through Joseph Smith and Amanda pretty much taught like 1/2 of it. She explained to him what the priesthood is and described the First Vision so well. We were so proud :) It has been amazing to see their growth in just the last few weeks and to hear them talk about the changes God has wrought in their lives and how excited they are for more changes. Brad got kind of emotional during our lesson as we talked about why he feels being baptized will be a blessing for him and his family. He talked about Sister McKnight and I and the impact w...
