#jesusdidntcheckifihadanappointment #dirtbikesbeerandcarborators

Hi Friends!

It has been A WEEK. We had Zone Conference on Tuesday and that was a RUSH of spiritual insights and answers to prayers. so many notes and goals.  

so tracting is a blast haha. It's been warming up which means we're more motivated to go out and knock on doors, but its just so funny to hear peoples responses. Most of my subject lines come from that. As a district, when we've done our daily hour of tracting, we text in that we've done it and add hashtags about what happened or what we talked about and some of them are just WEIRD. the first one in the subject today is something a man said to us just before getting in his truck and driving off, and the other is because we literally spent 45 minutes in this guys garage talking to him about the Book of Mormon while he took apart a carborator (sp?) and drank like 4 beers. it's chill, we declined when he offered them to us so :) But in all seriousness, tracting is powerful. Getting out and just talking to people and trusting that what you need to say will come to mind, whether its your mind or your companions mind, is pretty miraculous. the hardest part is TRUSTING those promptings and seeing the results. 

This week, we've been blessed to be exactly where we need to be and to know what to say in many instances. We went by an investigators house the other day to see how he was doing with quitting smoking and we really wanted to give him something, but a bag of treats or a card didn't seem fitting. We sat outside his house for a moment or two, pondering our options, and my eye caught on a pair of round, blue-lensed glasses that we'd gotten for free at a yard sale in October that looked like they should belong to John Lennon. winner! We knocked on his door and discovered that he really was not doing well. He was grumpy and lonely and kinda haggard, but we told him we had just wanted to drop by and give him these glasses that had reminded us of him and he was so touched. His countenance changed and he kept looking at them in wonder. He said to us, how did you find these? thank you for these, and the reverence in his voice reminded me that one of my callings in life is to be a blessing to others. that's why I'm here, and that's what I want to do each and every day, however they need it. 

also, guys, PRAYER WORKS. I could spend the next week typing up all the answers to prayers(that I remember) and then some. Pray, it's the best thing there is.

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...

#whywouldyoudothat

Hi Friends!   Okay, so I  know that missions are supposed to be hard (and don't get too crazy, it's still hard) but it's way fun too! All these different people warning me that it would be so hard and all that got me super worried, but I LOVE it. there's something hard everyday, but there are MIRACLES everyday too, it's crazy.  We have so many Investigators that are doing so well and it baffles my mind to see their progress. It's truly isn't because of us. We're obedient and do our best to listen to the Spirit. EVERYTHING else is out of our hands. The highlight of this week was Ana, who I mentioned last week. Her baptismal date is set for November 25th and she's practically adopted us, she told us that God sent us to her and she's keeping us, sorry mom. :/ She's got such an affect on all the people that she meets too, She's gonna be the means of so many people coming closer to Christ, I can feel it.  We've got so many parents i...
