I sure thought about you all day yesterday! I hope all went well and you had a great time together. "I´ll go where you want me to go" was sung in Relief Society and I just know how Heavenly Father knows me and let me experience a mini-Elder Niebergall Farewell through just a song.
That should be fun to meet up with little Elder Stevie before you ship Jeff off. That feels like it was me yesterday- I can´t believe it´s Jeff´s turn. I´m so excited for
I´m glad you got my TP. I´m not mad at all that you hung it up. I think that´s hilarious. Things are getting better in that department, I´ve just learned most of the time she´s joking and not being a bossy rude person. Most of the time. And I´ve learned how to respond when she´s being serious so things are going a little better. How did everyone react to your story? Were they surprised by it? Did Rob and Michelle correct my German? Haha.
I did get the letters you sent. That made me really really happy. It was so nice to hear from the Fellows side of the family. I loved the motivating words from everyone. Thanks so much!
Things still have been kind of slow in Rostock, Sister Kläy is still not feeling well. I hope she starts feeling better because there´s so much to do here in Rostock and so many people to take care of.
That´s so cool that Emily sang the same song that was sung at dad´s farewell. That was probably so special! So sad that I couldn´t hear it.
That is a super cute picture of Megan. I love it.
We´re not really sure what to do with the mannequin head. We´re thinking about maybe cutting off the hair and sticking it in the Elder´s coat pockets while they´re hanging up. We´ll see
That´s okay that you haven´t sent the box. I just realized that I also need that memory card with the pictures on it. Hopefully that isn´t a problem. But since I remembered the Tschüss Books (Christian Peeck told you about them. ps will you send that e-mail to me, what he wrote? He said it was the most awkward e-mail he ever wrote and I want to see it.) But anyway, I need my memory card so I can print out pictures for these Tschüss books. I hope that there´s a way to put pictures back on the card, if you´ve taken them off already. If there is no way, maybe you could make a CD? And if you haven´t taken the pictures off then there is no problem.
That´s so cool that Emily sang the same song that was sung at dad´s farewell. That was probably so special! So sad that I couldn´t hear it.
We did have one cool experience and that is we taught a 23 year old from Africa. We asked him to pray specifically and ask if Joseph Smith was a prophet. He told us he didn´t like to pray for specific things. He then asked us if he had ever told us about his mom. We hadn´t so he explained that in 2009 his mom died. In the Catholic church they have a book of prayers that they say for certain situations. He took out the book and read it to his mom and picked it because he thought it was a prayer for someone sick. As he read it he realized it was a prayer for someone who was about to die and his mom died after he read it. I told him that mom had a somewhat similar experience and that she was singing songs with her family and sang Families Can be Together Forever and then grandpa passed away. I explained to him when that happened they were filled with peace because they knew they would be together as a family forever. I testified to him that we really can be together as families forever and that he will see his mom again. By the end of the lesson Koffi, Sister Kläy, and I were all crying because the spirit was so strong and we all could tell that we would be together with our families forever. It was wonderful to be able to testify of a simple principle that gives hope to us as Latter Day Saints. Sometimes we take for granted these simple truths that are completely foreign to others. I´m so glad we were able to share this bit of truth with Koffi and bring a bit of light into his life.
I love you all!! I´ll be with you there in spirit Wednesday! All the best!
Love, Sister Niebergall
