Green smoothies and nauseous

Nära och Kära,

Hope you have had a good week! Even though we have both been sick and a lot of people have been our week still went well. Our week started off strong. We had planned a dinner with a family from another ward because they are coming to Alingsås and in the process of changing. So monday we got home late but we had a wonderful dinner getting to know them and teaching their close friend and nanny. That was awesome! We just thought it would be a member dinner and then they had a friend there actually interested in the church. AWESOME! Its hard when they live so far away though. Its actually our districts leaders area, Trollhättan. It felt really good because even though they are so far away we were really able to help their friend and the whole family. They are having a little bit of a hard time right now and it was perfect timing I guess. I love when you follow the spirit and find out later that you did agh such a wonderful feeling.

Tuesday was awesome because they had the relief society activity for the month and Manal came! Yay that was awesome! She finally got to meet the members. It was cool that she actually knew some of them from the Swedish class she takes. We met with her on Saturday too and talked about the commandments and listened to the prophet from last conference. We were hoping to pump her up for conference this weekend haha it probably just did that for S.Schneiber and I. We seriously can't wait. I don't know that I've ever had so many questions and have felt so prepared to listen to conference.

We started doing green smoothies which was super exciting but by Wednesday night S.Schneiber wasn't feeling well. We got home an hour early so she could sleep and then I woke up super sick the next morning. Haha we were determined to go to district meeting though so even though I threw up (syster schneiber was right there with me rubbing my back the whole time. love her) we jumped on a bus 10 minutes later. I would have to say that was stupid. I don't think I ever slow down especially when I really should. Its okay though. I did get 2 naps in this week. We also had the time change here. It feels like just yesterday the sun went down at like 4 or earlier and last night it was like 7:50. It was a beautiful sky too. Purple!!! Just on our way home we stopped and talked to a man that had a dog named Alice and he was smoking a cigarette as we spoke, but by the end he told us don't forget me and was so happy to talk about religion. It made me so happy to see there are even people in Europe who will listen even if they don't believe in God. I love the gospel and love sharing it!!

Syster Schneiber is amazing. We work hard together and have a lot of fun doing it. I love love love her and love being with her! Yesterday was ward conference and we had such a wonderful day filled with the spirit. There was a girl there name Sara and I just felt I had to speak to her. She is 20 and a non member who is actually interested. During our conversation we both felt the reality of the spirit world and life after death. We both ended up in tears. The ward watched after sacrament was we could hand out a book of Mormon and really how easy it can be to invite people.  One member actually walked passed us talking and stopped to bear her testimony to Sara. I was so impressed. The ward here is awesome. They really are member missionaries! I loved that the ward could see that people are all around us who are ready but that we just have to open our mouths. It got a few of them really excited as they watched me write in the book and then give it to her. What an awesome day. We even had two people say we could come back this week. We really got to see the Lord bless us as we spoke to 10 people... which isn't always so easy here in Alingsås. Anything is possible with the Lord though. That I do know. I know the Lord blessed us because we reached our goal of speaking to 10 people everyday. Miracles!!!

If you don't have any question for conference I want to challenge everyone to find one. This is revelation specifically for us in our day and I know you can receive answers through listening to conference. So prepare yourself and be ready for answers. Expect miracles!!

I love love love you all! (Jag uppskattar allt som ni gör för mig!) I know there are many prayers that go out in my behalf and all missionaries. Thank you!
Love Syster Sprague
