"I'm moving to Selah" -Ana

Hello All!
Not a ton to share, but on Tuesday, we Skyped home! Which was wonderful and weird. Some pictures have been included of Dex trying to take all the screen time haha. I do also have pictures of Bailee and Spencer showing off their double chins, but I think I'll save those for blackmail ;)

It's been a tough week. I've mentally done a lot of comparing and have felt like a total failure. We haven't been able to find many people who want to even talk to us either. BUT its required me to put all of my faith in the Lord and its opening my eyes to even the slightest prompting and the tiniest miracle, so it hasn't been a waste, just different lessons to be learned.

Selah keeps trying to snow and it'll go just enough to get about an inch on the ground and then give up.. keep hoping we'll have a massive snowstorm or something 1. so I can wear my snow boots and 2. because they need moisture in the mountains or they'll have no water come summer.. we shall see 🤞

BUT, wanna hear a straight up miracle? I saw ANA!! On Sunday, she was getting her temple recommend and so she came to our building and she squealed and came straight in for a hug when she saw me. It was a total tender mercy and immediately I was reminded of what I had said to Sister Zollinger when we were initially teaching her: "if no else I teach gets baptized on my mission, that's okay, cause we helped Ana" (not an exact quote). It gave me a better perspective after a week of rejection. God knows us.

Love y'all!
Sister Shuldberg

"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...

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...
