Sister Erin Megli : I made it....barely

The last picture of my MTC district! I love them!

Hallo Familie!

Oh wow what a crazy week.. Seriously I hope your ready.. And also the z and y are in different places on the keyboard so it's weird and I don't always catch it.
Okay, So lets see the plane ride was awful. Well I LOVED all the letters, I will try and write back as quickly as possible but we are so busy I barely have time to sleep... haha. But so the plane.. After I talked to you I literally had to run and find a store to buy some medicine. I had 5 min before I was supposed to board the plane. So I found some dramamine...? I have never taken motion sickness pills so I wasn't sure how it was going to be. So I took like 2 to start as we were heading off.. I was litterallz going crazy I was so excited. I am actually going to Germany! Oh and of course on the plane it was so fun.. I was sitting by Sister Ferris.. and Elder Kress. Man they made that flight bearable. Elder Kress is really nice he could tell I was struggling when we left the SLC so he tried to talk to me to get my mind off things. he showed me pictures of his family and talked about them. I was doing better but I still felt like throwing up. But I didn't. Spoil Alert. He had also given me a blessing the night before and He came up to me and thanked me for letting him do that. He had never given a blessing and It was a really good one. I could feel the spirit so strong. He told me He had never felt the spirit like that. It is something neither of us will forget.. It was really hard to say goodbye to him.

Okay that was random this whole letter is going to be because it was a random week. But we are on the plane and it probably took me 3 hours to read all of it. Seriously it was the best thing ever. Thank you for everyone who took time to write one. Well after that I starting feeling sick so I took more of the medicine. That was a bad idea.. I was out. I think I slept the whole flight. I remember waking up to eat food but that's it. So we get off the plane, and also they had to check all 3 of my bags because it was too big... oops. So we go to get our luggage and of course the belt that they are on is broken, So we wait like an hour before we can get those, then we headed out that's where Sister Norvak.? was and she took pictures of us. She talked to us for awhile.

Thank you Brother & Sister Nowack for posting pictures from the airport on the facebook page!

We thought the President and his Wife would have been there or anyone reallz... They forgot about us. So we called and they freaked out and sent the APs over. We got out stuff and put it in the van. Then thez told us we were taking the trains back to frankfurt.. That took a million years. We got on and off at least 17 times. The Trains are crazy here.

Oh and keep in mind I am drugged from the medicine on the plane so I am litteralz falling asleep walking. I was so dizzy,. It was the weirdest I have ever felt in my life. We finally get back to I think was the church.. We had interviews with the President. I think I feel asleep I don't remember it.. All I remember was him asking me Are you tired sister Megli and I said yes and He said maybe we should get zou to bed.. And I remember eating pizza and then next thing zou know its 6:30 the next morning. I slept for like 15 hours. Crazy.

This was the hotel we stayed in for the first couple nights. It was so cute & small. Dino Liza is enjoying it too!

So the next morning we were to get up and go have breakfast which was seriously bread cheese and meat, and nutella and crissants. It was lovely. I can feel me gaining weight by looking at the food. So we sat there until we were called to come into the conference room where we would meet our new trainers!!! YAHHH I was so scared I almost peed my pants.. Which is another thing they don't have is bathrooms anywhere. And you pay 1-2 euros everytime. So you hold it. Anyway, so we go in and they tell everyone there new companions.. except mine and Sister Ferris. We were last. really.. I let out this weird squeal thing I was so nervous. They held up our pictures and I thought seriously this is so cool me and Sister Ferris are going to be with each other.. But we are close she is over by Nurmberg in fochs? I am horrible at spelling. I also freaked out because I knew that was the other area that was open and I thought I was going to where papa had served but I am sure I will make it over there. They tend to keep the missionaries on the East over here so that would be cool.. So Then I knew it was me! Sister Weber stood up and I did and we were like yaahaha!! I didn't even hear where I was serving. So we met and I was like where are we going and she said... .JENA!!! My first area.. I didn't even know where that was. I was so excited! So normally we would have just gone there but because Elder Ballard.. Close dad.. was speaking the next day we just stayed in Frankfurt. We went out contacting for 8 hours.. That's along time IT also started pouring. while we were walking. It was so fun! So we get to the street display and I was like okaz great what do we do? Sister Weber just starting talking to people so I figured okaz sweet. She handed me a Book of Mormon and I was like I will talk to anyone but zou have to take over after she said okaz. so I had my one liner..`´ Haben Sie yea dass Buch Mormon gehört?` and then she would talk about it. It was scary but fun!! I was talking to real people! I couldn't believe it! We did that forever and I was like I need food. So we got my verz first german food. It was a currywurts.. It was gross. It was a brot with curry sauce on it. I decided I would get it without the sauce next time. But it was good. kinda. We had a drunk man sing to us and I didn't know what he was saying so I just smiled and waved. Apparently Germans are mean when they are drunk. and I saz Hi to everyone that's also something they don't do.. So I am going to change Germany!! I will say hello to everyone. so that was fun we also had this guy come and bible bash us. lucky there was like 12 missionaries so we could all back each other up. Elder Strong was there he is hilarious. He makes funny faces. He kept looking at me and my face must have been in shock because he kept laughing at me. I hope I will get to serve with him sometime. So that was an eventful day we were late getting back so it was dark and they don't have alot of street lights here so we walked back in the pitch dark. all sisters. We finally made it to the hotel and slept.

Next day we got up and headed out to hear Elder Ballard. It was so good. It was amazing to hear from a apostle. He told us to work harder and to treasure up the words of Christ and in the moment the words will be delivered unto us. When we have the spirit with us always. Reallz good. So right after that we had to say goodbye and head to our areas. I found Sister Ferris hugged her and bawled.. Haha I love her so much and am so grateful that I have met her.

So we meet our zone and headed home. We are the onlz sisters here. But I am in Elder Robinett's district.. haha he cant get away. it will be fun to still have someone I know. The zone leaders cant say my name or choose not to so I am sister Meggles. I love it. There are some really great elders in our zone. I am excited for zone P-days.

This is our apartment. It's so cute and surprisingly big for Germany.

Sis you will love this.. I am have to shower in the morning and every day.. I hate it.. hah And I actuallz wake up on time.. Its a miracle. But its funny Sister Weber is a runner so she runs in the hall and I just kind of sit on the floor because I dont know how to work out.. I did a few sit ups I think I slept for some of it. I'm not really sure. So this is going to be interesting. We also study for what feels like 10 hrs everyday. But I am learning alot. We have this thing once a week called GEMIKO? I'm not sure what it means or what it is. I just go and sit and I have no idea what's going on because why.. Well I can't speak German. I am reallz starting to get overwhelmed by the language I feel like I can't understand anyone. But I am being positive. And I am trying my hardest. It wils come I know I have onlz been here for 5 days. The people are reallz nice in our branch.. of 20 people. I guess I'm not in utah anymore. everzthign is different. In Church there was no one there so I didn't have to bare my testimony so maybe next week.. this z and y thing is reallz annoying. But the branch is so cute and lovelz people. They all want to help me so they said they are going to have me speak german to them more.. yay. I am so scared And so they made me say the closing prayer. It was the best prayer in German I have said thus far. . But on an exciting note we alreadz have a babtism! October 18 her name is Huiying. She is chinese and speaks english.. YAHOO! she has been investigating the church for a year and half and finally decided to get baptized that will be so cool! random note we had to go to the store and so we went in this mall like clothes all around and there was this random grocery store in there. It was so strange. but I guess that's Germany. I will get used to it.

Well that's just a glimpse of my week sorry its so long I just have so much to tell everyone! I love you all so much! I love this gospel I know its true! I am grateful to be serving with Sister Weber in Jena! Its amaying! I love it! I cant wait to go out and work and actually have a real lesson! I alreadz love it so much! Don't forget to read your scriptures and pray zou will see changes in your life! Learn to rely on the Savior. Let Him be your best friend! I love you! I hope you have an amazing week!

Love Sister Megli
