So first off everyone is slacking. Haha except for my mom. Oh and steven. I was shocked when I got a dear elder from him. It rocked! haha it made me miss saige though. He talked about him laughing and how distracting it is. Sunday my branch president had his grandson there and it about ripped my heart out. The day before I got stevens letter I had written him AGAIN and had a sticker on it that said sisters need letters too. The elders in my district get a ton!! I'm happy for them though. If no one got mail.. the day would be seriously depressing. Oh Yeah monday was so not cool! I hadn't had anything since Thursday and didn't until tuesday because of memorial day. Its all good though. I need to lower my expectations i guess. I never wrote anybody... so my bad. I didn't realize how much you want them.
So monday my companions and I taught the whole first lesson in swedish! Wow it was insane. Haha they are really good at it.. mmm me not so much. Understanding it really isn't that hard but knowing what to say and figuring out how to say it in another language really isn't that easy. Its coming along nicely though. Our teachers say were moving along really well.
Its a good thing too because we just found out our day to leave is no longer july 11th is july 4th. Haha we said our way of celebrating the country is by leaving it. Cool though right?? That day will always have more meaning for me now. Man that is insane though. I leave to a foreign country in a month! agh! :)
Did you get any of my photos up? Man they were fun. I should have sent the one of these two elders here who have become really close. I have printed so many of that print because they call it their engagement photo. haha yeah our district gets along really well. Its nice but sometimes the elders are probably too comfortable with us. Were working on it though. Some districts aren't as close.. seems wierd to me.
I lost weight!!! :) AND I can do my splits again. Sweet right??
Syster Hill had a break down sunday. It was so sad. None of us have had really bad like homesickness or anything. So it was alarming but she is much better now. An elder had a bad day saturday too. Its crazy how up and down things can be. The spirit is so strong and yet were working so hard and it really is stressful. Because i'm running out of time i'll sum up the story. An elder had a prompting didn't follow it and got way off topic during a lesson. He immedieally felt terrible and was praying a lot. I wasn't in the lesson and wondered what was wrong. We could kinda hear him in class talking to the teacher. He broke down and cried a lot. It was so sad. He just wanted the day to end. By the end of the day me and him taught eachother. The exercise was "going to heaven" as they call it and making sure the questions you ask and the things you say are led by the spirit. Up to this point I haven't felt the spirit so strong. I was led completely by the spirit and couldn't quite tell you even what I asked or said but he later told me it was exactly what he needed to hear. It was The coolest experience yet. He taught me after and the same happened. When it was all over we both were crying haha. Dont put two ball babies together.
The coolest part of the story is the next day we were gonna talk on the holy ghost in sacrament and the bishop at the pulpet knew he needed to speak and changed it to him. The Lord knows us and knows what we need. Trust him!
Love Syster Sprague!!!
