"goin' to the temple and we're, gonna get baptized.."

Hi Friends!

Lots and lots happened this week, and it feels like each week I have less and less time to share it! Gah.

We met with one of Juttas friends this week, she called us and said she thought he might be interested. He wasn't very interested after all, at least, not in what we had to share. It was really rough on Jutta having someone she'd known for so long turn around and try to tear her down, but it reminded me of something that Bishop shared with us that had been in a teacher training meeting they had. "We teach by light waves, not by sound waves". It's so true too. We can talk their ear off and flap our jaws all the day long, but its not going to do anyone any good if they aren't open to it and seeking for the Light that Christ can be in our lives. Seek for it y'all, its there.

We went and visited Lelani at the beginning of the week and when we were about to leave, Abby the 6 y/o, asked if we could say a prayer so we all took our seats, as assigned by the 5 y/o Eli. Sister Jensen was directed to guide Abby in her prayer and as she whispered to Abby, the 5, 6, and 7 year-olds all repeated what she said. It made my week. They followed her until she was about to close the prayer and then Lelani jumped in to add something, and I finished it up. It was THE best group prayer that has ever been said. I love the small things that can make an impact and am so grateful for the way my heart has grown here. 

We also did a TON of service this week and were running back and forth like the chickens at Grandpas farm(;)) we no longer have the second car, which was rough, especially cause we had planned the week with a car in mind and it was taken earlier than expected (tear), but life goes on. . . I guess. 

ALSO, we went to the temple with Jutta this weekend!!!! It was phenomenal. The spirit was powerful, and it was such a blessing to be able to attend, especially with people whom I have grown to love so much. (in case y'all are unaware, I LOVE THESE PEOPLE AND THIS PLACE)

So many miracles coming. as we increase our faith and keep our eyes open to see His hand in our lives, we'll find it, I promise.

Much Love!
Sister Shuldberg 

p.s. the subject is referring to the same line Sister Jensen was singing ALL WEEKEND lol, it was great, cause there was a couple in our ward who was sealed that same weekend and she had been singing it that week too, *sigh* love

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...

Kind of a walking area...

Hi friends! So I don't actually know how to condense everything that I want to share into a feasible email, so just a disclaimer: I totally don't expect you to read all of this. It's a heck of a lot of information. SOO... We got to go to the temple on Tuesday! As a mission we get to go once every six months, usually in October and April. Our zone all went together to the Columbia River temple, which is way tiny, but it was so wonderful. After a crazy week of so much new and nothing familiar, the temple was way nice to get to recuperate a little.  Wednesday was really chill. We got to brush horses which I loved. they are so calm, at least the ones Sue lets us brush, and it's nice to do something that doesn't require a whole lot of thinking. Sue, the owner of the ranch we went to is so loving and she's kinda hilarious too. She calls us her missionaries or her sisters and says a prayer with us every time we come.  Thursday.. we got Margaret back on d...

"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...
