"one small voice"

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 greatest. She loves the people in Goldendale(affectionately referred to by many as "old and stale") and we already are working really well together. One of my fave things about her is that no matter what is happening or what we may have just been talking about, anytime she says a prayer, she has the softest, most reverent voice. Essentially, she prays like a child in terms of how humble and trusting she is. I love her.

 I love you all as well!
Sister Shuldberg

 p.s. the subject line is from a 6 year old boy teaching us how to sing in sign language and he did those same three words probably 23 times :) best part of that day truthfully.

"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 ...

"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...

"Are you eating the Bible I gave you?!?" -Ally to baby sister Emma

Hello one and all!  Jersey came to church yesterday! :) She is a girl we met a couple weeks ago after reaching out to the missionaries who were here last year and they'd mentioned her parents. When we met her, she asked if we could come read the Bible with her because "I need church". Of course, we agreed. She came for choir practice beforehand and stayed the whole time. Her first Sunday, she was there for over 4 hours, and she loved every bit of it :) and they loved her :)  We also got to do some community-lighting this week! If you aren't friends with me on Facebook.. shame on you, but it's okay, I will share. Selah has a couple places around that have apples with the word Selah in them(probably because Washington apples, and because Treetop is located here) so we went in to City Hall Tuesday morning and asked the mayor if she would be okay with us adding something to the one just outside the building, she said yes :) She also asked me to tell the man walkin...
