"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

"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...
