For lack of better title... I like turtles? - Mon, Jan 16, 2012

Hello Family!

I can´t believe Megan is joining Alex and I in the field here in a couple days! I´m so excited for her. She´ll love it! And then Jeff next week, that´s really the mind boggler for me! Being a missionary is the best ever!

As for here in Rostock, things have been a little bit on the slow side. Sister Kläy has endomeitriosis (I should know how to spell that because of anatomy but I SO DON`T!!!) and she´s been having a lot of pain this week so we´ve spent a lot of time inside. It isn´t that cold here at all actually. It´s pretty awesome. It feels like spring weather and we are hoping that winter will kind of pass over us. It is cold sometimes, but when it´s cold it feels like late November, not really winter. It´s wonderful. I´m enjoying it. Yesterday was totally sunny and everyone was a little happier to talk to us. I think the Rostockians need more vitamin D.

We do have Elders in our city, too. It´s a lot of fun and can sometimes be crazy, like when the Elders decide they want to get members to pull pranks on you. This week we received a package in the mail. We were so excited to get mail and we opened it. It had a creepy mannequin doll head thing, from the Elders and a member who is 24 named Tobias. It´s a treasure that has been sitting around the Elders apartment for quite some time and they decided to surprise us. I thought it was hilarious and super clever, but my other half didn´t have mutual feelings.Oh, by the way, we have about 200 missionaries in the Germany Berlin mission.

I believe the mission pays for rent. We pay for food, but when we use the trains we send in our tickets to them and they reemburse it for us. We have about 175 Euro a month to use for food and travel so it´s a pretty good amount of money.

I love the pictures of the kinder toys. They´re hilarious. You guys are the best.

That´s totally crazy that Kelley Hill is Amy´s trainer. That is so funny! Wow. How exciting is that? I can´t even imagine. And also TUCKER IS GOING TO BERLIN?!?!?!?! WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!! He is going to the best mission ever. I´m so excited for him. I could go on and on about that but I won´t.

That´s so great that Rachel bore her testimony. I wish I could´ve heard it, but I guess I can wait to hear it.

I´m glad Rob and Michelle got their package. I was worried that maybe they had moved and the address wasn´t right anymore. I knew those were Michelle´s favorite. So glad she enjoyed them. 

As for the less active member- we had a lesson scheduled for this week, but he didn´t answer the door. We were pretty bummed about it. I still haven´t met a lot of the investigators yet. I don´t know what the deal is. We´re hoping to find some of our own investigators soon.

Well, sadly we don´t have much time today because we´re going to the beach. Hopefully we don´t freeze.

I´m so glad that Megan and Jeff will soon be serving the Lord. There´s nothing else that I´d rather be doing. I keep having dreams that I´m home from my mission and wishing I could be back. I love Germany. It´s the best place ever. I love sharing the gospel in Germany. It´s like I´m doing the coolest thing in the coolest place. I´m so blessed. The Book of Mormon is amazing. I´m in 3rd Nephi now. It´s so full of the spirit. I want everyone to be able to read this! Oh... I can give it to them to read! I hope that you all will love for opportunities to share this amazing message we have. I love you all!

Love, Sister Niebergall
