Hello family!!
I am still keeping me own head above the water. This week has been not as crazy as last week, but still crazier than normal. Luckily/sadly that will be solved this week. Sister Curtis will be getting a new companion and staying in Dresden and Sister Odenwalder and I will be in Meißen still. Sister Curtis´ new companion is from Nienberg and she is called to serve at Temple Square, but she has to wait for her VISA so she will be coming to Dresden and Sister Curtis will train her. It´s been super hard to go back and forth between Meißen and Dresden all week, and I feel horrible because I feel like both cities are getting neglected, but I´m glad it´ll be back to mostly normal this week. We have 3 hours less in a day when we live in Dresden because it takes an hour to Meißen and back and then we have to study and extra hour because new missionaries have an extra hour of study time. So we´ll still have one hour less when we live in Meißen, but that´s much better than 3. But yeah. I´m going to really miss Sister Curtis, but she´s still in my District so we´ll see each other 3-4 times a week.
I sent some pictures of the baptism and Brandenburger Tor in the mail last week. I don´t know when it´ll be there, but eventually. We were walking and I was able to stand in front of it and take a picture. I didn´t really get to look close at it. The girl I was companions with was pretty used to seeing it so it wasn´t anything special to her so we just kept walking after I took a picture. That´s okay though, at least I´ve been there.
Sabine, Sabine, and Anna are still doing great. I´m pretty sure Sabine is going to get a calling next week so that really makes me happy! Anna is so popular and all the primary kids love her. Sabine is also doing great and they all really still have a light about them. That is such a wonderful feeling. I hope you can see another convert baptism in your life, it is quite an amazing feeling. I hope I can too!

That´s fun that you have the Hoggans in your ward now and that you´re being so welcoming to them. That really makes a huge difference, it´s always scary to go somewhere new. Thanks for being nice to them. That´ll be fun for you to have a FHE with them. I think I do know the girl who got baptized, Elina. I met her once and she is super nice. But she moved to Frankfurt so we don´t see her anymore. Keep being awesome with the Hoggans. How is Linda?
Robert is doing great! Still talking
about going on a mission and getting baptized. I just found this week "a
guide to addiction recovery and healing" by the church and as I read
it, I just know Robert should read it because it´s exactly what he needs
to hear. Problem is I don´t know if it has it in Czech. But we plan
this week to talk about what he needs to do to get into that water and
how to give up his addictions.
Sister Odenwalder mentioned someone that proposes to me every time we see him. He says "I need love! I´m not a problem! I need to get married." He´s just someone that we see on the street all the time, no one we´re teaching. He´s funny. He´s from Persia. All the middle eastern men love me. I´ll just say that.

I´m glad school is going good. I´m sorry that you don´t get a break. That is probably crazy. I know how hard it is for us when we don´t get a break- so I can´t imagine teaching and not getting a break. Wow. I´m glad you get to eat during recess though. Are you enjoying yourself? I hope so. I hope you get a permanent job soon. That is probably frustrating to always be up in the air. Are you the youngest teacher there (in years of teaching wise) or do others have this problem too. That´s super gross that you have a chip of bone hanging. Nasty, but way to be the last number and show everyone up. Cool!
Tell Mitch congratulations for me! I hope he got a letter Sister Curtis and I sent him awhile ago. She knows him from Snow.
Unfortunately we had to drop Herr Szautner Saturday. He was always sad and telling us his problems and not trying too hard to apply the gospel. We´ll visit him every once in a while, but we want to give him a break.
There hasn´t been anything too exciting, unfortunately. Really just running to catch trains. A good majority of the week has been spent on trains. We also had a testimony meeting for institute and one of our investigators bore his testimony. Robert really wanted to, but he is too shy until you get to know him. Anyway! I´m sorry for the boring and not very informative letter. I think this week will be more normal and more regular missionary work. Oh- Sunday we were talking about 3 Nephi 11 in Sunday school and so we watched the Testaments. It was the first time Sabine has seen it and when Christ touched Helam on the shoulders, she gasped and when Christ healed him she started crying so much (as did Sister Curtis and I). She felt the spirit so strongly and she said "I need that movie! I want to see it again!" It was so great to be there with her to see her reaction and talk about when Christ will come again. I love being a missionary! I can´t say it enough!
Oh, we had Zone Training meeting this week. Our mission President doesn´t want to have Zone Conference as often so he just assigned the Zone Leaders to do a training. It was really amazing. I realized that my prayers have really not been good and we should just say to our Heavenly Father "Thanks for listening" Because He does listen! That´s one of the greatest gifts ever, and sometimes we really don´t appreciate it. Since this training I´ve really tried to make my prayers more sincere and I´ve seen a big change in my happiness and attitude. I love this gospel! I know that He hears our prayers! I know that He just waits to hear from us, He loves us! I´m so grateful for that! I love you my family!
Love, Sister Niebergall
PS- I almost ended this e-mail "Im namen Jesu Christi amen." Wow. I must be used to bearing my testimony. :)
