Family! I love you so much!! How are you all.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PACKAGE! I wasn't expecting to get it so soon so I was very happy! I loved the ring and I loved all the letters and candy and was so happy to get everything that I asked for. Thanks for being willing to send the flip flops. I've kinda been walking around barefoot in public bathrooms. I'm sure you'll love hearing that, mom.
Jeff and DJ- everyone here always asks why you decided to go on a mission, even to the elders. My advice is to find out now why you want to go so you aren't stumped and so you have even greater motivation to go.
Yes, I saw grandma! It was so great! She was in my peripheral vision and I thought "wow, the person behind me is kinda close to me" So I turned around and it was her! I kinda gasped really loud and gave her a big hug. It was nice to see her!
So dad? Were there people that needed you specifically on your mission? I want to hear these stories, I've never heard them before. Mom, you are an amazing person. You do not need to worry about what's going to happen. I have a 100% firm testimony that Heavenly Father will take care of you. I've seen Brittany around a few times! It's always so good to see her. I've also seen Elder Jolley!
Yes, I have access to a tape player now so you can send me tapes if you'd like! I know I'd love to get them! I hope you got a little taste of our District. Our Elders are crazy, but they're so great. Dad, thanks for the skirt advice and also the advice on passing gas. I just don't want to kill my roommates/compainion. This MTC food is powerful I tell ya! P.S. Entschuldigung = excuse me in German. I'm not sure if that's how you spell it. I can see pics as far as I know... I saw the pictures in Mindy and Tyson's e-mail. I would prefer for friends to send dearelders to me and not e-mails. There is NO time to read e-mails. Also, we're only supposed to e-mail family and I want to be 100% obedient. There's an Elder whistling and humming and I want to PUNCH HIM CUZ I CAN'T FOCUS AND I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME!
So there was this amazing lesson this lady gave and she was talking about the Loaves and the fishes (John 6:2-14) and about how a little lad brought the 5 loaves of nasty bitterness and 2 small fishes. It really wasn't enough, realistically, to feed everyone. But when Christ laid His hands on the loaves and fishes it became more than enough. I know that is the same with us. Without Christ we really can't become all we need to be, but when we rely on Him and with His help, we become more than we could ever have been. I know this church is true! I'm so blessed to have it in my life. I love you all SOOOOOOOO much! I pray for you every day!
Love, Sister Niebergall
PS- Oh, one thing I forgot to say was that people always compliment other people while I'm wearing my little ugly robe so I always pretend like they're complimenting me. I think I'm funny.
