"I'm gonna call you hyena"

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 so much stuff on here!" 😄" Very cute. Its way cool to see kids eating it up.

Peg got baptized on Wednesday! I didn't get to go because we wouldn't have been home on time coming back from Ephrata, but I got to skype in. I didn't realize how excited I was for her until I started bawling lol. so much emotion in such little time. Thank goodness for technology so I could be a part of that.

We had interviews with President Jackman on Saturday. He and his wife are amazing people and they are doing so much good for this mission. Fun fact: President Jackman grew up with the mission president of the Salem Oregon mission, weird huh?

Also,.. *drumroll please* WES CAME TOP CHURCH YESTERDAY!! and he already knew some people. He really liked it and had to leave early but he didn't want to :) love that kid.

I love y'all lots!!
Sister Shuldberg

p.s. quote I heard this morning "I have so much to be grateful for, that it would be disrespectful to God if I wasn't happy" words to live by. That's all, folks.

"We are willing to knock on strangers doors" -the theme of missionary work

Other potential subject lines from this week: "Let your grammar nazi go nuts over that!" -Sister Walker. Yup, she loves me. "I love us". Guys, Sister Walker and I are like a comedic duo. It's so much fun. It. Has. Been. A week. We've had quite a bit of snow too, which cause some issues with commuting places.. and seeing how our two areas are full of small towns that are in the hills, its caused a kink in our plans (thumbs up). BUT, all is well because leading up to the catastrophic "snowmageddon" as they are calling it, were a ton of Miracles! Alrighty y'all take a seat, strap in, grab some popcorn. I got lots to share. So, Monday night, it snowed a bunch, so we did District Council over FB video chat, which was fun lol, there was a lag, so the hymn singing was WAY OFF, but it was good. We had interviews and since we had to do that over FB too, I FB chatted with Sister Jackman, man I love that lady. She's so much like my...

I remember laughing, but I don't remember why..

Okay, yes I'm a terrible person, I sent you all those pictures with absolutely no explanation. So get comfortable, here's two weeks worth... EXPLANATION OF LAST WEEKS PICTURES: -SUPER bomb ice cream at East Wind Drive-In in Cascade Locks(Oregon, yep its still weird).. and that was the small -delish tacos from a taco truck(I ate tongue!) -McKenzie's skunk Bumper. he is their pet, and she snuggles with him. They have 2 skunks, 3 possums, a couple raccoons, and a couple deer, as well as 3 dogs, and a couple cats... -Car numero uno is Guapo(our car), car numero dos is Gordo(The Dalles elders car). We had to trade for a couple of days and they took Guapo up to Yakima for some work.. its good to have him home -oh, and Sister Walker eating a cinnamon roll(that McKenzie's dad made) faster than humanly possible Now for this week :) Zone Conference on Tuesday, which was phenomenal, like usual. We have another mission meeting in a few weeks and all the departing mission...

"So, you're nuuunnnsss......???"

Hi Friends! (funny story at the end, so bear with me) We carved pumpkins last Pday, super fun. Sister Zollinger did the Logan temple. look up a picture of the Logan Temple to see how good she did, it's way impressive. We had exchanges on Wednesday!!! my first exchange! I was sooo nervous, but it actually went really well, a lot better than I thought it would at least. Sister Zollinger went with sister McCourt to a different area and Sister Banks came to Terrace heights and I had to take over Terrace Heights, cause Sister Banks didn't know where anything was or who our people are. I was terrified. Plus, pretty much everything I know about being a missionary has to do with Sister Zollinger in some way, shape, of form, so doing all of this with someone different was highly stressful. I t was good preparation for transfers, because as much as I hate to say it, there will come a time when Sister Zollinger and I are no longer companion.. *gasp* I know, I know, scary. Exchanges a...
