The Epistle of Karlee

Hello All!! okay, so about 3 or 4 times every transfer, we meet for District Council and we talk about the people we are meeting with and how we can help them, we learn from each other and share insights from our studies. This last District Council, we were setting some goals as a district(because missionaries like goals) and it was awesome. The spirit was very strong and I think that was the best goal setting I have ever been a part of, the most inspired and the most reflective as well. We really got into how we can improve and reach our goals this next month and it really hit me personally of what things I need to sacrifice in order to be prepared to receive miracles in this area. It showed me too how much of a reality it is that the Lord of the harvest sends us miracles. No amount of work that we do will ever result in someone entering the waters of baptism without His say so. I reflected, and realized that every person that taught who ended up getting baptized was literally hande...

Hello friends! So last Monday, we had the best gyros this side of the Atlantic at a Greek Monastery Bakery. It was a blast takin a little trip to Greece for the afternoon :) the bees just loved us lol.  We visited with Katie this week who was baptized a little over a year ago. We watched Elder Taniela B. Wakolos talk from General Conference "Saving Ordinances Will Bring Us Marvelous Light". It was way impactful. She was able to relate it to her and her husband and the way that they are growing together and then we talked to her boys about reading the scriptures every day and showed them the app so they could. Later she texted us "Hey ladies! I just had to share with you thank you so much for recommending the Bible app... We are on our way to the Dalles to go grocery shopping and Evan brought the phone with him and he is reading to Landon... So so cute 😍🙌 he is so excited about it he was like "mom this is so cool they have quizzes, games, the Bible, you can do...

Hey, Hey, Hey!! We met some amazing people this week. People who have a sincere deep-seated desire to learn more and who trust that we are representatives from God to share with them the truth. Yesterday, we met with a man named Rusty in a members home and it absolutely strengthened my testimony of member missionary work and how much more of a solid foundation that can give to someone looking to learn more. Brother Golding has been talking with Rusty for the last few weeks about his beliefs and sharing with him bits and pieces that he felt prompted to talk about. He then invited Rusty to his home and invited us as well. He basically did half of the How to Begin Teaching points from Preach My Gospel and then turned the time over to us. He had another of Rusty's coworkers there who is also a member and it was a wonderful experience to be a part of.  Essentially, I am so very impressed with his initiative, with the example that he is to the people he works with and to our ward, and...

Hello hello dearest family and friends, etc How is life? This week has been FULL of things to share, courtesy of transfers. Unfortunately, many of those things will not be shared today also because of transfers. We gotta go down to The Dalles for groceries. Yep, that's right folks, your dear Sister Shuldberg is now residing in the one and only Goldendale, Washington!! if you recall, this is where she and her companion Sister Fleming went for a baptism in February. Now she will be working with the people she met that day! Okay, so leaving Ephrata after being there for 6 months was super hard. But transitioning into Goldendale was way smooth because I've met people here already. And I love it and them.   So, Sister Glover is my new companion. She's from Orem, Utah and "she's fabulous, she likes to exercise, she's lactose intolerant, and she's super fun". That's what she wants you all to know about her. I want you to know that she really is the ...
