We had a wonderful week here in Västra Frölunda. We have seen a lot of miracles come from Zaher getting baptized. He is bringing so many people into the gospel. It is so amazing!
Saturday we went on a temple trip was great. We got to find out a lot about the YSA's and just to see some of the less-actives come back into the church and go to the temple was absolutely amazing. We have been trying to work on all the things President Caussé talked about. My companions and I are really working on finding right now because it seems we have very few investigators right now. It will come though. We did just find 2 through our swedish class and we are hoping that will go over well. Were excited to invite them to be baptized. You know the best part of being able to go to the temple is we get to go again!! Yay!!
We just got calls on Saturday and I'm not moving which is amazing because this is the "covenanted" area. I didn't know that when I got the transfer call but now it totally makes sense. It it so awesome. We do have a lot of people that are being transferred and it's sad. I haven't explained my area very well at all. We have a center for the youth or basically the institute center. They have senior missionaries assigned here and then us three. Me and my companions love being assigned here. We have seen so much success through the YSA's. Its sweet too because we have most of our teaches here and the YSA's come on teaches with us. We go on splits all the time too. Yeah it rocks basically oh and we have dinners almost every night. Ha ha and because there are 2 elders and 3 sisters we go to dinner and 5 missionaries show up on their door step. I think it hilarious and tons of fun. We call ourselves a family.. the incredible to be exact.
Our zone is super close my district is too. Like my district leader and his companion are in our same ward so we see our elders ALL the time. If we don't see them every day its an off day. We all use public transportation that is pretty fast. As far as my first area goes we try to find through member of course but we also did contacting and tracting. Bus contacting is actually a lot of fun. People in Sweden don't like to talk to stranger though.. its like impolite. So it really isn't very effective. Here we take public transportation everywhere and that is when we do a lot of contacting.
If anyone is thinking of going on a mission I have a little bit of advice.. Don't get trunky!! It is terrible.You will never have this chance to be a missionary again. Not in the same way. You have an amazing chance to give people exactly what they are looking for even when they don't know they were looking. I have seen people accept the gospel in their lives and seen the changes. People have desires they would have never had any other way. Yesterday at church we had Tony there and I realized he didn't have his earning in! It is so cool!! He still has really long hair but he says he wants to cut it. We didn't even tell him.. it just comes as people begin to walk in the foot steps of Christ. We were reading the other day in personal study and read about different roles in the family. I hope that we are all treating our other family members the way we are supposed to and I hope that especially this time of year you include Christ into the family. He should have a major part
Love all of you. Thank you for all love, letters, support, and prayers. And mom you are so amazing. I have loved all the letters and packages. I really didn't need all of it but my companions and the elders love it. When one person gets stuff it makes everyone happy. Thanks so much! My companions say they want to film me reading your letters to me. I guess I am fun to watch. So many people here say I have a cartoon face ha ha.
Love Syster Sprague
