Well this has been a crazy week! very exciting! I have defiantly learned so much already. We are always so busy that its hard to find time to write in my journal, so most of this is just what i can remember happening haha. I feel so blessed that I have the amazing family and friends that I have. I LOVE hearing from everyone! I read every letter and note that is sent to me! I don't always have time to write everyone back but I will try so hard! The easiest way is if you sent me your address because I can write you on my own time. Man so much so much has happened I don't know where to start.
So P-days we always get to write home and then we get to go up to the temple. It is always my favorite part of the day! We go as a district so its super fun! Our teacher Bruder Liddle has been giving us family names so it has been ever more meaningful.
I always get my themed package from Lisa. You wouldn't believe how excited our whole district gets just to see it. the whole week we guess what it would be! We love it! Mama I LOVE the package you and Kristen sent me! The bubbles were a huge hit. Me and Sister Ferris walk around in our free time and everyone always talks to us. We think were so cool. haha But it really is wonderful, I love getting packages! Also Katie Vargo sent me a package she is so sweet! Everyone is jealous they didn't have as cool of a dentist as I did. I have always been blessed by the people I have been able to be around.
This week I have been struggling with the language even more so then usual. My teachers are so nice, they offer to help me during additional study time so that has been helpful. I really love my teachers so much! Sister Drury and Bruder Liddle. They are amazing! Every lesson we have there is always a spirit there that I have never felt anywhere else in my life. We have learned how important teaching by the spirit really is. We have seen it in all of our lessons. Our investigators are really starting to get what we are trying to teach even though I cant even understand half of what's being said... Oh well like Elder Fowler said.. He is the new district leader.. " The spirit doesn't speak German, The spirit speaks to the heart" I loved that so much. I realized that I need to stop feeling sorry for myself that I cant speak German and realize I need to speak through the spirit. It was defiantly an eye opener.
On Sunday... oh my heck!! So Sundays are way different. We wake up go sit in the classroom and normally we watch Mormon messages and then go to breakfast. Then the Sisters get to go to Music and the Spoken word. That's always a nice break. After we have relief society. They always have a speaker come and we have a great lesson. After we go back to the classroom and a companionship in each district has to teach a lesson. Guess who has to teach next Sunday... yep Me. So I'll let you know how that goes. So then we have lunch and then about and hour before we have sacrament meeting. That time we normally get interviewed by the Branch Presidency. So we went to sacrament meeting and every week they call up 2 missionaries, one elder and one sister. No one knows who it will be so you just have to have a talk ready.. in German!!! So this week was on repentance. I kind of prepared a talk but I didn't think our district would be picked because the last Sunday they called us up for both talks and prayers. So i just sat there. They were passing the sacrament and I remember I just said a prayer asking Heavenly Father to help me speak German and to say something that could help someone there. I asked if the Holy Ghost could guide me. I don't know why i said that prayer. So I started to get really nervous. President got up and said we will now be pleased to hear from Elder Beaznar and Sister Megli. I just about peed my pants. I seriously started crying. I didn't feel prepared at all. But I had to get up there. Luckily I had The Living Christ and I shared part of that. but I was able to speak for the 5 min, My Deutsch was horrible but that's okay. I felt the spirit and I'm glad I wont have to do it again! After we have dinner and temple walk, a devotional and then watch a church movie. Just a relaxing day.
Oh some funny things the Elders LOVE to tease me.. I think there is just something about me that everyone loves to pick on me... but that's okay I love it. haha So they decided to tell us what kind of tie we would be. I got the tie that never comes in the mail... Because I am obsessed with getting the mail!! I love hearing from everyone! and then they took it ever further and said I'm the disappointing tie that comes in the mail from your mom.... Haha they are so mean!! Good thing we love them!! And they gave us a song too.... Mine was going off the rails on the Megli train... Because they think I am crazy. But I am, so that okay. I will never change who I am.
Awkward moment of the week Elder Lyon was talking to me and we were saying what rules we broke the night we got set apart. I told them I hugged a friend and all of the stake presidency and bishopric. So they keep telling us here not to flirt so they told us to look at the Elders like our bishop we wouldn't flirt with the bishop but yet we love him,. So Elder Lyon says.. Oh so I am like your bishop here,, you hugged him after so you can hug me.. Um NINE!!!! It was so awkward haha!
We have had some really good devotionals this week Jenny oaks Baker came and played and spoke to us. It was so good! Its amazing what spirit that music can bring in! I loved it! and we got to hear from the General Young Women's President. her name slips my mind but it was really good as well!
My time is short but I want everyone to know how much I love and Miss all of you! I really am so blessed to have such amazing people in my life! I thank God every day for each and every single one of you! I know this church is true. I know this Gospel is the way back to God, If we do what is right and follow his commandments. I know Jesus Christ is center to Gods plan. He died for the sins of the world. Anything bad you are feeling know that Christ has taken it upon him. He wants us to be happy and I know we can have true and everlasting Joy in this life and the eternities because of the Gospel and Through the Atonement. The atonement is real. Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father live and love us! They want to help all we have to do it ask! Always remember to say your prayers and read your scriptures, You will see the blessing from doing this every day. I promise you will be happier! Never forget who you are! The Gospel of Jesus Christ is so True!! I love you all so much! I hope you have a wonderful week!
Auf Wiedersehen!!
Much Love Sister Megli
