Craziest week ever!!!

Hey family!!!

This week was totally crazy! I will tell you why. Yes! My head has been swimming with all the changes and crazy adventures. One of the adventures you´ll have to stay tuned until Sunday and Dana will put it up on the bullitan board.

I had to go to Berlin with Sister Young (She was also trained by Sister Martinz) because she had no companion. Sister Curtis stayed in Dresden with the Senior Missionaries there. I was even able to see the Brandenburger Tor while I was in Berlin. Now I feel like a true Berlin missionary. We had some good appointments and had fun together.

Thursday I met my new companion, Sister Odenwalder. The training before was good. It helped me remember that these people don´t really know anything about missionary work and we have to teach them the little details of it. But Sister Odenwalder is so great, she has caught on really fast and she is really brave! She fits right in to Sister Curtis and I. We all are having a lot of fun. And not to brag, but we sound like a chorus of angels when we sing in the morning before study. Sister Curtis sings soprano, Sister O sings alto and I sing tenor and octave higher. Crazy that you already know who she is and have talked to her mom. Wow, I wonder how you figured that out so quickly. We had an adventure getting back to Dresden where we would meet up with Sister Curtis. We kept missing trains and running for trains and I even dropped and lost my ticked for about 20 minutes, but then I prayed in my heart and found it again. That made me super happy. Then we went home and all of us unpacked because we were all new to the apartment.

Friday we had a baptism! It was super awesome!!!! AHHH!!!! I was so happy to see them all dressed in white. Everything before the baptism was craziness. Sister Odenwalder and I split up from Sister Curtis. She stayed in Dresden to get everything ready for the baptism and we went to go round up investigators for the baptism. We found Robert and he was at work. We had 38 minutes before the train left and he still wanted to shower, buy new shoes, shave, etc. We waited for him and he wasn´t coming so we were freaking out. If we missed the train we would be 15 minutes late to the baptism. Eventually he came from work (About 8 minutes before the train left) still wanting to shower and shave. We told him heck no and we had to leave NOW. So we started walking quickly and eventually I broke into a sprint. We did make the train, but it was so intense. We ran up onto the Gleiß right as the train pulled up. I couldn´t help but say hallelujah and Robert made fun of me. We got there and both Sabines were sitting on the couch, not in their white clothes. I asked what was wrong and Sabine the mother´s dress was too see through and she couldn´t wear it. We couldn´t get ahold of the person who is in charge of the Baptism clothes, so we had to give her our own white clothes to wear. The Senior Sister in Dresden let her wear a white shirt of hers and Sister Curtis had to run to the apartment to get her white skirt. As Sister Curtis got to the apartment, she realized she didn´t have the keys, but one of the windows was open and it´s pretty high off the ground, but Sister Curtis had an adrenaline rush and ran up the wall and made it into the apartment. I wish I could´ve seen that, but the Senior missionaries got a picture of it. Too funny.

So she got back and then they got all dressed. I don´t know why, but taking pictures of them was one of the most sacred experiences ever. There was a light shining from all of them and they were all so happy and beaming. I´ll have to send pictures. Sabine Jr. was especially feeling the spirit. It was so neat to see her crying and holding her heart because of how touched she was by the spirit. I love these people and I´m so glad they were able to overcome all the things Satan threw at them. It was so sweet to watch them all go under the water and come back up and be smiling so big and hugging each other because they knew they were doing the right thing. I never want to forget how I felt. It was really so amazing to see the people that we talked to on the street dressed in white making a covenant with Heavenly Father. I was able to sing at the baptism. It didn´t go too hot, but the 3 were all crying and that´s all that matters They were also confirmed on Sunday so they are official members of the church! We love them so much and it was so neat to hear the blessing say "Receive the Holy Ghost". I could feel the extra strength in the room. They are going to make such great members! Anna bore her testimony yesterday and that was a mega pay day. It was so sweet. Sabine told us the Branch President wants to give her a calling soon. That would make us so happy. Each new convert needs a friend, a calling, and being nourished by the good word of God.

Saturday we went and found Robert because he left the baptism early because he had to go to work. We asked him about how he liked the baptism. He said "I don´t know why, but I really wanted to cry. I felt so good!" That made us so happy! Robert really is a sensitive guy. He looks rough and tough on the outside, but he is really ready for the gospel. He said to us "Mine is in 22 days!" He really still has a LOOONG way to go before he is ready to be baptized, but it still a desire of his and it is still a desire of his to go on a mission. He just needs to get changing a little faster here.

I´m glad school is going so well for you. And when is your Annie performance? Maybe you should lay off with the Annie things, if you keep getting injured. That makes me happy that Jeff also mentioned "coin, coin".

I´m sorry this is really short, but this week has really only been running around like crazy and getting things ready for the baptism. There are investigators in Dresden too (4 of them) but everyone (Dresden and Meißen investigators) have gotten neglected this week. It was too crazy. But this week we will for sure have appointments with everyone.

I love you all so much! Thank you for your e-mails and for your concern for my investigators / members. I am so grateful to be sharing the truth with these people here in Germany. I´m so glad to help them on their path home. It really is a sacred experience for me and I will never forget it. I am so glad to tell people that the atonement can heal them from all the things they´ve done wrong and everything that has hurt them. I love you all so much! Thanks for your support.

Love, Sister Niebergall

Ps- Dad, can I get your priesthood line of authority so I can share it with investigators? Thank you you´re welcome.
