#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

"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 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.
