Agh!! BIRTHDAYS!!
Happy birthday MOM!!! Oj do I miss you and I'm so sad to miss your birthday but at least its only one of them. I hope you have wonderful day and kick that guy out of that house haha.
Happy birthday to Sullivan too.. what are you like 12 now? No idea but I know your big cuz like 2 years ago you could give me a piggy back ride haha lets just hope your not taller than me when I get home. That would be weird.
And last but not least Nonia wow its been so long. I feel like its been 10 years since I've really talked to you my dear. Sorry i'm a terrible pen pal. I hope you know I think about you and pray for you. I hope you got a job as a CNA! Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY :)
We have had an interesting week in Alingsås with Syster Erickson sick and trying to meet with everyone so they can say their goodbyes. I feel like it was good though. Because she was sick it kept us thinking about our health and not over doing it and also working hard because it was such a bummer that she was sick her last week. I have really enjoyed my time with Syster Erickson and I will miss her. We have seen so miracles here I can't even count.
The Lord is definitely in this work because I know I couldn't have done all of it. ps thanks for the tissues you sent for christmas mom they saved Syster Ericksons nose :)
We have 2 very positive investigators I think I talked about Manal. She is from Lebanon like her husband Kanaan. They live in our same apartment, which is probably one of my favorite things about them haha. Why can't everyone live that close to us. We asked about baptism this week and she, Manal, says she just needs to make sure she knows its true. Things are going along great though. We also got to meet with her husband, Kanaan, who is not religious and doesn't believe in God. Well he liked what we had to say and started reading the Book of Mormon. He even told Manal he thinks he will be a member. Agh I about fell of the couch! Manal is happy about it too. She is happy that he is finally finding answers to his questions. He is finally finding some peace.
So we have had seriously a fun week. Last Monday we went out to see some islands and found a bunch of star fish on a beach. Before heading back to Alingsås we saw a street performer and he pulled me into the show. Hahaha S.Erickson took some pictures. There were quite a few missionaries watching haha they all just laughed. Went to burger king for dinner haha Manal went to a baptism with us in Göteborg and she said can we just do one thing.. ugh yeah.. can we go to burger king? My goodness I love this woman. We went to dinner with a member her named Lennart. He is one of the sweetest people I know. He does so so much for us missionaries. Almost every missionary know him or of him. Anyway we had dinner at his work and then he showed us around. Haha yeah he works at a crematorium. Talk about insane. He's just like this is where I put them in the fire, where I take them out, put the extra bones, then grind the bones, oh and here is what the finished product looks like. Hahaha CREEPY eh? Then he asks, "do you have any questions?" Not sure if is cuz I asked in Swedish, but I realized later what I really was asking. I asked, "So how long does it take to cook a person?" ...Oh.. just 80 minutes.
On a better note. We got snow again! Of course it lasted one day but it was nice. Today is nice and bright and sunny. I woke up sick yesterday though.. that's no fun. Oh and transfer calls were on Saturday. I am staying here and my companion will be Syster Schneiber. I can't wait! She was the one I did splits with and loved her! She does P90X too. Thanks for that mom. I got it last Friday. It rocks! So you already had your time change.. huh we haven't had it yet.. its like the 25th or something. I feel like I have a lot of side notes this week... guess what I found out. When I got sam's blog it said his half way was Feb 23rd. Dude so was mine! Kinda.. I go home Nov 23rd though so Feb 23rd I had exactly 9 months left.. how crazy is that sam?? Some half way day. Haha
Tack för allt ni gör!!... thanks for all you (multiple people) do. That is easier in Swedish to say and also Jag älskar er!
Love Syster Sprague
