Lots going on!

So many things to tell you and not much time......ah! Oh, and incredible keyboard again.. Looks like you'll get 2 periods again.. Oh great.. And no enter key.. Life goes on......WELL----I SANG FOR THE PROPHET THIS WEEK!!!!!!!! Not to mention every member of the 12 at one point or another, but the highlight was the sacrament meeting at 10:30 AM Sunday morning.. The Prophet and 10 of the 12 were on the stand, in the room with all the training mission presidents.. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity, that's for sure.. PLUS we got to listen to him speak after (only the choir, which was a bonus!).. It was in a incredible meeting.. We sand every morning at 8 am.. Once for Pres Uchtdork, once for Pres Eyring, once for Pres Packer, and once for Pres Monson.. Plus every time we sang there were additional Apostles on the stand, along with general authorites, Relief Society Presidency, etc.. It was incredible.. I will never forget it! And Friday night we had a devotional with Elder Oaks, who talked about essentially the first 2 lessons in Preach My Gospel (explaining why we're the only true church on the face of the earth).. It was powerful.. It wasn't anything different than anything we'd ever heard, but it was powerful coming from a man who has spent his life in the service of God.. As I watched him on the stand, along with Elder Holland, Elder Nielson, Elder Scott, Elder Cook, and Elder Christofferson, I was filled with such peace.. It was powerful.. Especially when I listened to the Prophet......AH.. He is simply an ordinary man with extraordinary power! I don't mean to diminish his character in anyway--he's wonderful!! But he is just like you and I in this mortal life.. He emphasized we are God's children working TOGETHER to establish God's kingdom on earth.. His humility and normalcy really struck me on Sunday.. I love this church.. Not just because the leaders we have, but everything that it stands for.. The promises we have! I've also been humbled more this week......and I feel like my companionship is doing incredible things together.. It's so powerful! I've realized this week that I will never have a perfect companion my entire mission....but neither will they.. I have many things to fix and accomplish, why waste time pointing out things to them? Things are going suuuuper well with my companions.. I love how different we are! Something else the prophet said, sorry to be scattered, is that "show how is more important that tell how.." I really really feel that this is his way of sharing the gospel.. He has set the example for all the world, and shown us the way to return to Heavenly Father.. He also said, "You've got to be yourself, but you've got to be your wisest self.." Ah I wish I could tell you everything about it....I supposed I will someday.. Just no time right now! At the bookstore the other day, by the way, I walked in a swarm of people (it's been super crowded with all the mission presidents and their wives here....tons of people!) and recognized a familiar face.. Before I knew what I was saying, I said, "Oh well hello, Elder Scott!" Hahaha.. Yes, THE Elder Scott.. We brushed shoulders and he just kind of laughed.. "Hello, sister!" he said.. "My, you've got a lovely smile. Never stop smiling!" Haha! It was so nice.. I never knew he was so short! Haha.. Anyway, that was a fun experience.. I really loved it.. And I shook Elder Christofferson's hand (and his wife) before a devotional one night.. He came and thanked the choir for their music.. And after we sang once for the Brethren, as I was walking away Elder Nielson looked me in the eye, put his hands together up by his face and whispered, "Thank you, sister.." It was sooo powerful.. It's been quite the experience spending so much time with these men of God! There has been a different feeling here at the MTC, but even moreso because we've had the opportunity of singing for them.. I felt like an angel singing these incredibly powerful, moving songs.. It felt like madrigals but a bagillion times better.. I love to sing! Also, Hardcastles! I saw Pres and Sister Collins! They are so sweet, she gave me a big hug and I got to talk with them for a while.. They look so happy and were really enjoying the session.. I love your neighbors! And I also talked with Pres and Sister Brower for a few minutes! They left for Canada today, but they were so sweet.. I told them to tell BJ and Katie hi, so I hope you got the message! I love you botha dn hope you're happy! Well Family, my time is short.. I love you all so much.. Thank you for your prayers and concern for me, I can feel the strength from God more every day.. I can't believe I leave in less than 3 weeks!!!! AH!!!!!!!!!! I love Thailand! Anyway, I love you! MOM--THANK YOU for those pictures through email.. I can't believe how HUGE those girls are! Seriously! Shelby looks like she's 8 years old! I hope you're having fun with them this week, give them hugs and kisses from me.. I love you all! I pray for you every day..
 Love, Sister Naegle
