You Are Hereby Called to Serve....

Dear Sister Niebergall, You are hereby called to serve as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. You have been assigned to labor in the Germany Berlin mission!!!!!! Except it didn't have the exclamation points :) Wow!!! I'm going to Germany speaking...........well....German! Who'da thought? Really though, I was seriously anticipating South America or states, Germany never crossed my mind. Well it did in a fleeting thought, but I thought "No, all my cousins have gone to Germany" And went on thinking about the next place I could possibly be called. My cousin Michelle, who went to Germany, was there when I opened my call and she was so excited for me. My little sister Sarah is taking German in junior high right now and she was just sobbing and it was so sweet to see. My mom was also crying so hard and it was just great to see the joy and support from my family. I wish there wasn't so much happening at once so I could've taken in what was happening better, but it was so crazy- everyone competing for my attention. Super overwhelming. The people there were Mom, Dad, Jeff, D.J., Sarah, Rachel, Brittany, Nathan, Chelsee, Michelle, Krista, Bruce, Melanie, Kyra, Katie, Samantha. So there were tons of people there. It was so insane. Plus I had 6 people on phones listening and I just wanted to give everyone attention, but it was impossible. I am so stinking excited, I can't believe I know where I'm going and I'm old enough to know where the Lord needs me. I'm going to bear my testimony in German, according to google translate. I'm sure I'll look back on this and shake my head, but I'll still go for it. Ich wissen die Kirche Jesu Christi der Heiligen der Letzten Tage ist die wahre kirche. Ich wissen mein Heiland liebt mich und wissen seine kinder. Ich wissen das Buch Mormon wahr ist. Joseph Smith ein wahrer prophet und sah den Himmlischen Vater und Jesu Christi. Gott rief mich an und ich werde gerne dienen. Im namen Jesu Christi, amen.
