Hi Friends!

crazy, hectic, eventful week. such is life.
We set lots of goals this week to, and we're doing well. I don't want to just send a bunch of vague, semi-optimistic phrases, so here's a specific event:

We saw the coolest miracle yesterday because of technology + the Spirit. When we got our phones set up on Friday, there was record of two people of whom we had never heard of, and likely wouldn't have for awhile without ABP. so last night, our plans had fallen through and we were trying to figure out what to do/where to go and Sister Jensen(genius that she is in listening to promptings) suggests that we go by these people, I felt good about it, so off we went in search of their house. We knocked and the woman stepped out and talked about her previous interactions with the missionaries and her previous experiences with church and what caused her to stop attending church. We talked about the Book of Mormon and receiving an answer for herself and she told us how uncomfortable it his for her to just go up to a random church and join them. So we're going to give her a church tour on Thursday! :) bippity-bioppity-boo just like that! And without knowing about her, we probably would've gone tracting or something. Thank goodness we met her.

I love you all!
Sister Shuldberg

p.s. We're officially technology missionaries, so keep an eye out for my face on FB!! ahh, crazy!

p.p.s I made lots of animal friends this week. In one of the pictures, Sister Jensen and I are holding teeny tiny baby hamsters, then I put one on my shoulder, cause it kept trying to go up my arm, so why not? then it jumped off my shoulder and I have a bunch of blurry photos of us scrambling to find it under the chair that Jutta took as she laughed hysterically. yup. :D

"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...
