Hejsan!

How is everybody?? I'm leaving so soon haha! Yay! So I heard something funny that totally applies to me. A sister missionary wrote to her family and said that she understand her mission in the MTC.. It was to make everyone else look good haha because she was so bad at the language. Well I'm not that bad i don't think, but it is hard! No joke about that. I really enjoy it though and can't wait to just get to Sweden.

We got our travel plans last Wednesday right after I sent my email haha made me laugh. We just took like the HEY i got my travel plans picture today! only a week late.. but one of our elders didn't get his plans and took it really hard. Its Äldste Larson, he will leave a week after us. He gets to fly there with a swed though im totally jealous. An Äldste stopped us systers (yes rachel that is how they spell it in Sweden.. with a y not an i haha) and he had on a Swedish name tag haha we were like who are you?? We knew all the swedes cuz is just us 8 in our district. Well he is from Sweden and moved to Ogden for like the last 5 years and so when he got called to Sweden he only has to be here 3 weeks (lucky duck) English districts have it so easy or its your native language in his case haha. Oh! and can i just tell you he is so hard to understand!! Not quite like the MTC is teaching me a different language than Swedish but like he even has a lisp in English haha oh and just like in the U.S. we have our southern accent well they have it just like that! And he is southern. Yeah so it takes a minute to understand haha

This last week or more has been so fun and SO crazy. We had a surprise devotional because all the apostles were in and out of here because all the mission presidents are being trained. Well we got to hear Elder Bednar :) AGH best day of my life. Many many many people saw the apostles just walkin around. So cool. Elder Bednar taught us how to be a Preach My Gospel missionary. He is amazing. All the devotionals and firesides here are so inspired its almost jaw dropping.

I'm sorry I don't have anytime! Next time I'll be in Sweden! Wish me luck and don't forget to pray for me.

I Love all of you!
Love Syster Sprague

ps. My systrar (sisters) loved the gifts you gave them and my Elders loved the cookies. Thank you so much for the packages. They have been amazing! The apron is beautiful!
