Meine gute familie! I'm in the laundry room and its crowded and everyone is trying to find a washer/dryer and it is CRAZY! I think next time I'll just wait to write NOT in the laundry room. Live and learn I guess! It was also really hard to find a washer and I'm paranoid people will steal my dryer. Hahaha. It really is craziness in here.

Oh by the way, meine gute means my goodness. Its my new favorite saying. I love the MTC soooooo much. It is great fun and a lot of work and the best thing I could be doing. I'm so happy to be here! Life is so good. I love being a missionary. I just found out I can't attatch photos. That's so sad! I'll have to fill up my card fast so I can send you some pictures. I love being here! Yes, I remember my companion's name now. Haha, it's Sister Stephanie McCappin (facebook stalk her if you want. I dunno if she has it) She's 26 years old, has her master's degree in developmental psychology and she's sooooooo cool! We work really well together. I've realized I have to rely 100% on the Lord when I teach. My thoughts and remedies aren't enough for someone to feel the spirit so I have to petition the Lord for His help. Yes- we have taught an "investagator" already, and yes- it was in German. It is intense, but I love it and I know the Lord is helping me so much. I've also learned fasting and prayer makes you humble and brings you closer to the Lord. I had a great fasting experience with Sister McCappin. We fasted that we could learn the language and I've already seen such a huge improvement.

So, it was awesome, on Friday I had a really strong impression to write an anonomys encouraging note to an elder who was really frustrated with learning the language. He later said in a testimony meeting that he needed that note so much and he knew it was from the Lord. I'm glad I could be an instrument in the Lord's hands. It was a great experience.

Thank you for the immunizations. I hope that is everything I need.

The other day I got cup cakes from someone and they didn't say who it was from. It was so nice of them to think of me and send me some delicious intense cupcakes. There was an orange flavored one mom, and I thought of you. Thank you soooooooooo much whoever it was (if you're reading this). They came very much in handy.

I'm sad to hear that Rachel was so upset, but I know I know I'm in the right place and I'm loving it. 18 months will seriously fly by. Can't believe I've already been here almost a week.

I have a rekindled love for soccer. Its been forever since I've played with just girls so it was great to be able to go all intense and totally kick the spanish sister's butts! Hahaha actually we lost, but who's counting? It was a lot of fun nonetheless.

THere's a roommate here that I love- Sister Jana Laubaugh (stalk her too) She's like my soul sisters. It's a good thing we're not companions. We would be kind of inappropriate. She's fun.

There's a website that I would love if you guys used- dearelder.com. It's online and they send me a printed letter. It makes me happy to get them. So... hint hint.

I'm pretty sure someone walked in on me in the shower today. Good thing it was my backside so they didn't see my face and I didn't see theirs. Awkward! Also- people love to do 3 part harmony in the showers. Ich liebe it.

My sunday lessons (since i wasn't at the table to tell you) were 1) the atonement and 2) my missionary legacy.

I know the atonement is real and that it doesn't have an expiration date in this lifetime. Don't procrastinate it though! Become more like Him! He wants you to return to Him! I love you! I'll answer your other questions in hand written letters! I LOVEYOU SO MUCH
