Mothers Day!

HEJ PÅ ER!
 
Man it felt so good to call home! Even if its like crazy all over the place with skype and the number doesn't work and it takes 25 minutes. Its so worth it! Just hearing all of your voices was a huge blessing. Thanks for all the wonderful questions. I even feel tons closer to my companion now, S.Schneiber :) We both listened to each others phone calls home. I don't know that we need to be any closer haha I already feel like she is a best friend and I could say anything to her. She called Saturday night because it worked better and she gave me good ideas for questions home. Like blessings my family have recieved since I've been on a mission.
 
This week has been very rainy and very good. We worked a lot with helping members and were excited to have 4 really good member teaches. We almost had 3 baptismal dates. We are hoping this week to set a date with at least two of them. Solomon is a friend of Manal that left to Lebanon and Lennart is an old investigator that is super positive. He is almost done reading the Book of Mormon! It was nice to call home and speak to our families. It can be a little stressful with those cards we have to buy but it works. I even taught some people over the phone about who God is. I guess these little kids had asked that morning but they hadn't answered because I called so I was able to answer them and challenge to have personal prayers. I think these 3 little kids will never forget that. I love sharing the message of the gospel! What I love about being a missionary is you learn to teach very simply for people. I also realized what it is I love about Syster Schneiber. She is never satisfied with mediocre. She is always striving for the best and I learn a lot from her.
 
The mission has come up with a new goal so that we are motivated to have baptisms. Its called the summer of 70 or in other words its S.O.S haha I like it. We are shooting to get 70 baptisms before July 18th.

Thank you for your love and support.

Love Syster Sprague
