"just keep asking me if I did my homework"

hello, hello!!

 The quote comes from Dakoda who hadn't read what we asked him to when we went to see him yesterday, so he ran inside when we were mid word and shouted "Mom! remind me to do my homework! Jus- Just keep asking me if I did my homework!" I could barely hold it in and it wasn't the only funny thing that he said that day. 

 Fun story: Last Monday we were walking back to our car after talking with Juttas kids for a little bit and these two guys drove up in a truck and one guy asked Sister wilcox if she has a snapchat, to which she said no, and the other guy asked me if I have a snapchat, and I said "No, but we can come to your house sometimes and talk with you about Jesus Christ?" They kinda hesitated and then asked what church we go to. WE got their names and an address, so nothin yet, but stay tuned for a story about Buster. 

 District Meeting has officially been changed to District Council, which was super cool. We all got together and we talked about what a council is and how to counsel together and then discussed the people that we've been working with and how we can help them. It was way cool to put 10 brains together instead of just 2 and we got some super cool ideas for the people that we have been helping, plus, I got some cool insights for myself. 

 Sad story: Devyn, the amazing 17 year old who had become our best friend over the month that we had been meeting with him, turned cold. Something happened and he now doesn't want anything to do with us or the Gospel. The worst part was knowing that he's denying answers that God has given him, and that we won't be able to help him since he's changed his mind about it. It legitimately felt like we'd been broken up with.

 But, even though my mission has allowed me to know what heartbreak feels like, we saw a lot of good this week too. The best one, was meeting with Erika and Karla (her daughter). I'm pretty sure that I've mentioned Erika before but for a while we were unable to get ahold of her, so we didn't meet with her, but this last week, we met with them and talked about the Book of Mormon and the REstoration, and it was super cool to see how Karla was so interested to truly understand and how that kind of got Erika more invested as well. They are doing this together this time and its going to be full of miracles.

 Love y'all!! 
Sister Shuldberg

 p.s. we knocked into a couple dispute. I shall elaborate: We knocked on Nikolays door and met his wife who was not super happy that he had been meeting with us(which explains where he disappeared to). She kinda got a little snippy saying that he should come to her church, because he went to ours, and before I could help it I was like "yikes.."... we left pretty soon after that lol

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...
