Alright. Well the letter before I get to talk to you guys. Yahoo! I'm not sure exactly when or where I will be talking to you guys just now. But we'll see.
The snow hit, and the cold left. Perfect combination. It dropped to 20 last monday. Then rose to -1 and has been hovering around that all week. There are piles of snow around here 10 feet high. I'd say we probably have gotten 5 feet. No exaggeration. We've had to shovel our car out, every morning. We don't scrape and brush. We use a shovel and a broom. There's so much snow! It is unreal. We took pictures galore, so you'll maybe get a taste of it. We were trekking through snow higher than our knees to a teach last night. Then I look at Taylors pictures from Madagascar. It's a different world.
This week was so fast. I can't believe how fast it went. Maybe because we've traveled 16 hours of it? And had lots of meetings and such? Well. There was two high points this week, scattered with lots of random funny teaches that I'm trying to fit on the tape recorder. I found out that you guys are pretty lucky with how much information you get, some of the other missionaries write home, one letter, every other week. I don't understand. I'm so grateful for how close our family is. I love writing you guys! I love hearing from all of you! It's funny, because I hear from Jordon the least yet he's in like 5 dreams of mine a week. I keep a dream journal, fun fact of the day. Weird huh?
Lucia day was funny, because we found out the day before that they had already had it.. dumb. But we got an invitation to the immigrant center where they were putting one on. Turned out to be one for like 5 year olds. So we kind of got Lucia, with a bunch of small Swedish kids. Ha ha. It was awesome though.

The announcement of the year?
We currently have 90 missionaries.
By the end of next summer, 180.
We currently have 5 Zones.
By the end of next summer, 8.
40- Sisters, 130 Elders. Roughly.
This work is going forward.
We also got new standards of excellence, just new numbers we should strive for every week.. and they said some hefty things. I think we are going to see some large miracles happen here in Sweden. Probably in the world, but especially here in Sweden.
We witnessed a baptism this last Saturday.. and that is always wonderful. We were in Sundsvall for it, and just hung out with Reijo and Jonathan afterwards. No big deal.
Love you more .... -Äldste Sargent
