Hello family! I'm sad to hear the internet is down, but I'm very glad you let me know! I'm still loving it here! It's so wonderful to focus entirely on the Savior every day and helping others come unto Him. It's really the best thing we could do. Thank you for the package of things I need! And the letters in it too, they made me really happy. I'm excited to hear your responses to the scriptures I sent!
One day this week at 2 in the morning the fire alarm went off. It was quite the adventure. Wasn't a real fire, but I thought it was so I grabbed my scriptures, backpack, and of course my name tag. I felt really silly, but oh well.
So, I've pretty much gotten into the routine of things so I don't have anything really to say about my schedule (Jeff I'll write you about the MTC schedule) but as of now I'm used to it so there's nothing really to say about it. So I'm pretty sure the things I say in my e-mails will just be funny things that happen around the MTC and spiritual experiences.
First of all, there is a TON of guy love here. TONS of it. Elders hanging all over each other and....I dunno, it's weird. But I find it hilarious. They've confessed its because they can't touch girls. So Jeff, be prepared for that. Also, our Elders have decided to make excellent use of their language study time by translating songs like "Space Jam" (put dein handes in the air wenn sie fühlen fine!) and "Lean on Me"(du bist my freunde) Our Elders are seriously hilarious.
So, I was shocked to hear about Greg Grey. Wow, it really shows you that you never know what is going to happen and when Heavenly Father needs you home. Just makes me more motivated to be the best I can. Also makes me realize how much more often I need to tell you all that I love you! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! Thanks for being so supportive. I love you so so so much I can't even express it. Heavenly Father is helping me so much and I know that's a lot because of all your prayers. Thank you so much! I can't say I love you enough! And Grandpa, I can't believe I've been here a month almost and next month I'll be in Germany. That thought kinda just freaked me out in a great excited kind of way! I can't wait to meet the Germans and teach them about the gift that has blessed my life more than anything else in this life. I'm also really excited to learn "real German". Woohoo! But yeah, I'm so impressed with how much Heavenly Father helps me learn German. There's no way I'd be as far as I am without Him.
I dunno if it's the food here or what, but I've had some really strange dreams. I don't know. I just thought I'd randomly include that, but apparently all the elders have weird dreams too- like wedding dreams. I haven't had weddings dreams in case you were wondering. Just dreams about me trying but failing to convince and elder not to get drunk and running into the Sisters from "The District" which is a movie we watch frequently here. Funny funny!
Sunday Sister Faerber played the piano for me and I sang for about an hour. It was so great, I haven't sung for so long and it really was so so much fun. Thanks for sending that music so that could be possible!
We went to the temple this morning. It was really nice to go back- a little hard to stay awake in those comfy chairs, but I never fell asleep completely. The temple was gorgeous and I know its the house of God.
I would love to see our family pictures! It seems like everyone that is here has a picture album of family and fun pictures. If you have time, I'd love if you could send some family pictures and fun pictures of our family in a little album so I can show you guys off! I'd love it.
Wednesday we're getting new Deutsch sisters! I'm so so so excited! We're getting 2 of them in our room so that should be interesting. The other day some sisters from our zone hid in our closets and popped out after we'd had like 5 minute conversation. Sister Faerber even opened her closet and put something in and didn't see them. We're so going to do this to our new sisters. :) I'm excited.
So has there been any mission calls or engagements that I should know about? I feel so out of the loop!
I can't believe Deej is done with drivers ed. That's so nuts. I'm glad I'm gone for the first year and a half of his driving experience. Teehee Love you!
Tone deaf district next to this computer room is throwing off my concentration. They're singing monotonely "onward christian soldiers" in icelandic. Maybe that's how icelandians sing. who knows?
Well I just want you to know that I love the MTC. It's so necessary to come here and hopefully get all the kinks out of our teaching. Sister McCappin and I are learning how to teach more and more every time we teach whether it be "wow, that worked out really well! we need to remember what we did this time." or "wow........that was terrible. What do we need to fix?" Heavenly Father is helping us so much! Thanks for your support and prayers! I love you soooooooo much! The church is SOOO true and God loves His children!
Tschüs!!
Sister Niebergall
