Hey family!
Yes, yes, YES I´m doing so so well here in Celle! I love it with all of my heart! It really is the best. Its so weird that I´m a "real misisonary" Sometimes I forget, but I shouldnt, because its such a huge responsibility! But I´m so happy to be here having my own misisonary experiences, making my own memories, strengthening my own testimony, but most of all bringing others to Christ!
Not this Saturday, but the next we have a baptism!!! His name is Kenneth, he´s so great! He´s from Nigeria and oh man I can´t express how cool he is! He´s had a baptismal date since before I got here and he is progressing so much and is so ready for baptism. He hasn´t got a firm confirmation for himself that this church is the only true church, but I think he´s getting closer and closer to finding it. He used to say he was too busy to read in the Book of Mormon (oh, he´s english speaking by the way. YES!) because he has school and such, but we started reading with him, just from the beginning to show him how cool it is! We used to give him a verse a day and he wouldnt read, but since we started reading it with him, he has a huge desire to read by himself! We read about Lehi and the pillar of fire and I said "see! The Book of Mormon is cool!" And he started giggling like a little girl. I think that means he agrees :) I think thats the key to keeping someone a solid member of the church is the Book of Mormon. When they have a testimony of the Book of Mormon, its hard for them to fall away. He´s great. Please keep him in your prayers, when people get closer to baptism Satan hits harder. He´s great and we dont wanna lose him!
I love Hilary Weeks!!! Thats nice that you tthought of me when you heard her song. I actually sang at a member´s house at dinner one of her songs. I cant remember if I mentioned that before. I was going to ask if its too early to start requesting Christmas stuff, haha! Because I want some cds! Our music code isnt very strict at all, just as long as it doesnt distract from our work. So I was wondering if I could have some Christmas cds that are on our itunes (i hope our itunes is still working) so I can get in the Christmas mood...yes...already. Any Christmas music will do, even Jingle Bells and things like that. It doesnt have to all be Christian Christmas stuff. Of course I want some Christian though.Haha. Also for Christmas I´d love to have some regular church music cds like Hilary weeks, efy, MOTAB, Voice Male, anything thats good in the religious section of itunes! If you could do that, that´d be great! Also I´d love some thermal garments for Christmas too. Its getting chilly.
For transfers we get told on Saturday and then we leave Tuesday so we have time to prepare. Thank goodness. I cant imagine being told the night before, packing, and figuring out train times. Its so weird to think i´m not the goldenest golden anymore! I think we have 22 sisters in the mission now. We played soccer in Hannover with the Elders. Sis Martinz and I were the only sisters and it was so fun. We were both really really sore for a couple days after though. Haha. How pathetic!
I look forward to getting those letters. Stick them in the mail box :) That will make my day to receive them since I havent received anything here yet.
I heard of President Uchtdorf´s talk in Relief Society but didnt have a chance to watch it. I´ll have to look for it.
I´m not the farthest north I could be in Germany but my mission is the northern part of Germany so I´m somewhat north. We don´t go into other countries either except I think one Elder city goes a little into Poland. One of my MTC district Elders is in that city now. How hard to have to speak German and Polish in your first city. Crazy!
Guess whats stuck in my head right now? "Hot cold, shy bold, lahahahaugh cry, wet dry, eeuhheavy light, day night, wrong right!
You don´t bore me with your school talk. I´m so glad that you´re enjoying it so much! I´m also glad they´re enjoying you so much! Of course they are! I seriously think you´d be the greatest 6th grade teacher cuz then you can show your personality better!
Our investigators are great. The one that broke his finger has a huge cast on and his hand is so swollen. He´s the sweetest guy ever. He gives us little treats every time we come and one time he ran out of drink when he was pouring it for Sister Martinz so she had some and I didn´t and he felt so bad and promised he didn´t do it on purpose. It was so funny. He´s the sweetest AND he´s German. Its rare to teach Germans. Weird, huh! We taught him the first lesson and normally I just sit and smile and nod since I can´t say much but we planned for me to share the Joseph Smith story and we practiced it and when I actually taught it the spirit was so strong and I wasn´t stumbling over my words like normal! I know Heavenly Father helped me. And Herr Hustedt is this man´s name, and he accepts everything so well. But he doesn´t ask questions so we hope he sees the importance of what we´re teaching. He´s so great. I can´t explain how cool he is. Everyone we teach is cool!
Oh could you find out where Bach played the organ so I can go see it? That´d be really cool if you could find the address!
I know this church is true! We are so blessed to know that our Heavenly Father really knows and loves us! There are some people that don´t know this! Why don´t we share it!? I hope you all will share it when you have the chances. Also, have you done any missionary family home evening thing? I would love to hear what you think of. Let me know! You´re all the best family I could ask for! I love you!
Love, Sister Niebergall
