"What in the helk?"

Hey Hey Hey!

sorry, I'm emailing later today, we went hiking! it was glorious.

couple prime quotes from the week:

Everett, who followed us on his bike with his little sister while we tracted on Tuesday:
     "I found the girls!"
      & we asked if he was going to go home- "not until you're done talking"
Devyn, about his dad:
      "he's making me upset"
Walls, after describing how he had to scoot on his butt when he got his CT scan:
      "ok, enough about my butt, enough butt talk"
And of course, Joyce, who is in the subject line, in an attempt to catch herself

But, my all time favorite was Peg, just yesterday.. She went to church last week, with her friend Donna, and then this week, called a member in our ward and asked to come with her. she then asked for a Book of Mormon. So yeah, we went by her house after church. We were sitting on her couch, trying to keep her dog Queen from making any moves on us, talking about how she felt at Church that day, and where she wanted to go with all of this and baptism came up, so we asked her when she thought would be a good time. She wanted to ask Donna's opinion, so she calls her up right then, but had to leave a message: "Hey Donna, It's Peg. The missionary girls are here, and I want your opinion on when I should get baptized." we loved it, and we love her.

For the 4th, Sister Wilcox and I went around and gave a bunch of members and other people we had met sparklers, cause someone had given us close to 300, yeah. Lelani was so excited because her husband had forgotten to get them for the kids. And Declan, who is like 6 was thrilled because his dad just lost his job and didn't have the money to buy any, it was a fun, heartwarming day.

BREAKING NEWS: Walls has gone from 7 cigars a day to 2 CIGARS per day. Yes, its true. I am a witness of it. He is so excited!!! 

I love you all "with my whole heart and soul" (how Walls describes his love for Fran❤)
Sister Shuldberg

p.s. I held a ferret and it used me as a toilet..
p.p.s. the license plate is for you, Dad

"we don't want to break into our car..."

Hi Friends!  So, I'll start with the funny story. on Thursday we had to go back the apartment to grab a Book of Mormon Lelani had given us to write our testimonies in and as we were leaving, I locked the handle, like we always do and closed the door. Sister Jensen looked at me and asked if I had a key  to the apartment, which I had the spare in my bag. Turns out she meant the car key, which was attached to the apartment key, which had been left inside. and my copy of the apartment key, along with our phone, etc were all locked in the car. We tried to card the door, but unluckily, our apartment isn't very easy to break into haha. So we prayed(which is where the quote comes from, Sister Jensen couldn't keep it together after that) WE called the sisters we live with on our neighbors phone after calling the mission office to get the number, left a voicemail, and walked to our appointment. I'd left my coat in the car too, so it got cold pretty quick, but after seeing Jean...

"I will go, I will do, the things THE LORD COMMANDS!!"

Hi Friends!    So Mission time is so totally warped. The days feel super long and the weeks seem to go by quick-ish, but come Pday I feel like I have no memory of anything that happened that week. And every day ends in a similar way so I have no way of knowing what day it is. Basically my perception of time passing no longer works. It's cool.     We had a Trunk-or-Treat on Wednesday and there was this family all dressed up as Harry Potter characters (Carson, you woulda LOVED it) I took a picture but it's kinda blurry. the mom was Professor Trelawny(sp?), the dad was Professor Snape, and then they had Hermione, Harry, Ron, and their little girl was Dobby.     Margaret is doing super well. We still don't know if she's moving out or no, so that's concerning, especially as we get closer o her baptismal date, but she's super diligent and is being a member missionary before she is even a member. She reads the Book of Mormon to her mom and is t...

"the road's that way"

Hi Friends! It has been one heck of a week. Goodbyes, packing, transfers, new area(and companion and roommates and routine),service, walking, and missionary work interspersed with all of that, we'll see what I can put into coherent thought. My new companion is Sister Jensen. She's been out just over 6 months (and I hit 5 tomorrow!) and has been in Ephrata fro 6 weeks or so. We're both still pretty new, but we've got a good feeling about this transfer and we're gonna learn a lot and work hard. I'm excited. We live with another set of Sisters which has been a little more of an adjustment, to go from spending 4 1/2 months living with one person to living with 3 who already have a groove that now I have to fit into. But they are all wonderful people and we've had some fun in these last 4 1/2 days. I'm going to learn a lot here and its exciting to see how Heavenly Fathers hand was involved in all of this. I know I'm supposed to be here in Ephrata and ...
