"you're gonna get sun cancer!!"

Hello All!!

Another week gone, another 3 hours added to how much sleep I'll need when I'm home lol. 

Few updates:

-we learned/observed how to fix a sprinkler system, so I know what my career will be! #startingourowncompany
-we learned to play shuffleboard
-Sister Wilcox is teaching me how to play the Ukelele(what what!) will send something when I have gained actual abilities.
-ahaha, also, at church yesterday, Dillon(who is 13) came in during the sacrament and sat next to us for approximately 13 seconds then stood, and walked to the front and across to fist bump his friend William and then promptly sat down with Williams family, in front of the entire ward lol, it was hard not to laugh. 
-I learned this week that even if we don't seem to be fulfilling our purpose with others, if we're coming unto Christ, we've had success. 

On Saturday, we didn't have any set appointments, they'd fallen through. We visited quite a few potential investigators and set up some appointments for the following week and it felt fairly productive. For dinner, we were invited to our Bishops home for a BBQ with 3 other families form the ward, two of which were newly moved in families. We were very excited and planned accordingly for our dinner message. We went and were able to build some stronger member relationships and talked to some of their kids about missionary opportunities that they were having or could have. we shared our message and the Spirit was so strong, and it ended really well. Then we ended the day with tracting and although we didn't get to do much lesson teaching, we bore our testimonies throughout the day, and we'd brought the Spirit into many peoples days even for just a moment. As I wrote in my journal Saturday night, I felt like I was achieving my purpose. I felt closer to Christ than I had in the last few weeks, maybe more. It was a miracle for me to see and feel the results of simple acts like those that can bring the Light of the Gospel more fully into the world. 

In regards to the subject line, Sister Wilcox basically couldn't speak yesterday and said perfect, quotable, one-liners, ALL DAY. So I laughed a lot all day :)

Sorry there isn't more, there's always so much more to share, but NO time

I love you ALL!
Sister Shuldberg

The pictures include meeting Kiki, the sassiest 6 year old on the planet.. haha she cut roses off her moms bushes to give to us, Sister Wilcox using a water balloon as a stress ball and popping it on herself while we were telling someone about the Book of Mormon, a BEAUTIFUL sunset(mom you would die), and my nut of a companion when its too hot to have your hair down. not necessarily in that order..

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...

Week ..4?

Hi Friends! This is technically finishing up my fourth week, but counting them isn't gonna last very long cause it all blends together sometimes.  PSA: will anyone who has pictures of us (me with you etc) send them? I didn't bring ANY for fear of homesickness, but now I really want them. Other PSA: DearElder doesn't work outside the MTC just fyi Other other PSA: my address for the mission is the following: Sister Karlee Hansen Shuldberg Washington Yakima Mission 1006 S 16th Ave Yakima, WA 98902 Send me stuff! I'll try to write back :) Soooo..., I'm in the mission field!! Aaahhh, can you believe it! It's actually kinda weird, but I already love it and It's so much better than the MTC, at least for me right now it is. i may miss the MTC later, but theses last 6 days have been good majority of the time.  buncha things: -One of the Elders in my MTC district legit laughs like Bob from Monsters v. Aliens and its amazing -Our last Sunday, I ...
