February 10, 2014 FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 How are you all?? Well! A LOT happened this week! It was way crazy! I can't believe it's already Monday!! We have had a very busy week! Started off with P-day! We walked around raffles place, which was fun. I’ll send you a ton of pictures!!!! We went with the 4th ward and Bedok Elders so it was a blast! Then we went to our Bishop in 4th wards home for dinner the Q's and guess what?! Teisha and Tianna Thompson are Sister Q's nieces!!!!!!!!!!!!!! APA HAL!!!!! That’s soooo crazy!!!! It’s really weird how many connections I make even here in Singapore! The world is very small!!!! It was really great! We talked with their family a lot about God being mindful of them and them keeping a gratitude journal to always remember what Heavenly Father blesses them with!! :) HIGLIGHT OF THE WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had a lesson with A. (the investigator from Mongolia, super adorable doesn’t speak a lot of English) and we were teaching her the Plan of Salvation. It started off a little rocky and we weren't really sure why... but! We started talking about the atonement and read Alma chapter 7 vs. 11 - 12 with her... after reading it in Mongolian... Tears poured down her face... and she asked "he did that for everyone?? I can't believe he had to do that for everyone..." and she continued on really trying to understand and she felt the spirit so strongly! It was being testified to her that she had a Savior, Jesus Christ who died for her so she could come back to her Father in Heaven if she accepts Christ. Needless to say it was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The spirit hit each of us like a round house kick to the face and it ROCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love being a missionary, the end!!!! Anyway!!! We have had a rockin lesson with our less active AT... we just really let the spirit guide and we can see how he is once again letting this gospel change his life :) Sadly we had SEVERAL cancelled lessons with former investigators, potential investigators, and current investigators... BUT!!! It’s okay, we are going to keep pushing and working!!!! Work like a john the Baptist "WILD WOMAN" (thanks pops) haha anyway!!! We also had a ROCKIN lesson with a less active from the 4th ward! Y! SHE IS AMAZING!!! She has really let the gospel change her! Truly she has taken Christ’s atonement and become a new person. She is so much happier and just ready to take on whatever comes her way!!!! IT’S SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So we visited this rockin family!!! The smith family!!! And they made us do a talent show!!! haha I didn't know what to do!!! So we sang a song there is sunshine in my soul today (Sis. Proffit played guitar and we all sang :) anyway!!! (quick story about there is sunshine in my soul today... it all started when Elder Black told us that his comp was sick so we should call and sing to him... so we did and now we have called prob. every missionary, because everyone is sick, and sang to them! it's really ridiculous and quite fun!!!!) …back to the story! I also taught them how to waltz!!! It was so weird to try to dance without dancing hahaha, it was awkward... but it was a BLAST!!!! And they loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Church on Sunday was INSANE!!!! We were at a chapel on the other side of the island, then had to go to the other chapel and back again to the first chapel!!!! haha it was crazy! BUT! It was amazing and we saw a lot of miracles!!! :) A. came to church and she is doing great!!! We want her to be baptized here, but she might have to be in Mongolia! She sent us a sms saying how amazing the BOM is!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And we also went to a baptism for two little girls in the 4th ward J. and N. :) Anyway!!!!!!! I bore my testimony in fast and testimony meeting on Sunday in the Woodlands Ward (it was this Sunday because last Sunday was short due to the Chinese New Year). Anyway!!! I BAWLED like a baby and was explaining how I may be transferred in 2 weeks... so I wanted to leave a last testimony and told them how much I loved them... testified of my savior and Joseph Smith and I absolutely am going to miss Woodlands!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway!!! Life has been great! We are really focusing on finding new investigators!!! SO! We are praying a lot, a lot!! Life is amazing!!!! I LOVE YOU ALL SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE Eternally Sister Waldvogel O.W.L.E <3

February 3, 2014 HI FAMILY!!!!!!!!<3 How is everyone?! WOW! I love you all! This week has been CRAZY!!!!!!! First things first! I am now training 2 sisters!!! (Everyone calls them the twins because they both have blonde hair and blue eyes) haha anyway! It's Sister Proffit still and now Sister Alfrey (my roommate)! It's been CRAZY!!! Because we are now over both Woodlands and 4th wards! Sis. Alfrey’s comp. had to go back to her hometown because of visa issues, but she will hopefully only be there for a month or two until she can get a work permit! :) We miss her! BUT! It's been a BLAST these past couple days :) We visited a lot of ward members this week because it's Chinese New Year! :) So it's been really fun! We have had A LOT of hot pot! Which is SOOOOO GOOD!!!!! I can’t wait to introduce it to everyone in America! And we have received a lot of ang poa, they are red packets with money in them! I always feel horrible accepting them, but it's rude not to :( anyway!!! This week has been pretty low on numbers, but we have received a TON of referrals, met a lot of prepared people and we are working really well with the ward members in both wards! My comp was sick for a few days, but she is feeling much better! She wouldn't rest even though she needed to haha. I really played mom that day! hahahaha :) it was fun! Anyway!!!!! Planning this past week was soooooo HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our week is going to be CRAZY!!! But it's going to ROCK!!!!!!!! #life of being a missionary, it's fine!!! :) hahaha it took so long!!!! A lot of prayers were said within those few hours haha :) I am so proud of the Woodlands ward; they are all doing such a great job in each of their missionary efforts! And it's so important that the missionaries and members work together, because this is what has been asked of us!!!! And we all know the promise that is given... When God asks something of us he will ALWAYS prepare a way for use to fulfil it!!! IT’S TRUE EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway! There is an RM in our ward WW and he is so cool!!!! He just returned from Taiwan! And it was really cool to pick his brain over hot pot :) I just always want to be a missionary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU LEARN SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway!!! It was really hard this week! BUT! I know that God is preparing me for something... and I know that each trial helps us grow!!! This is why I’m so grateful for the atonement!!! It covers so much! Our sins, weaknesses, trials, suffering, and all the things in between :) we visited G. and T. <3 Love them soooooo much! They are AMAZING!!!! We ate, sang, talked, and had a ROCKIN spiritual message that went a little different than planned, but that’s the importance of listening to the spirit! And always being worthy to have it... So that you can understand what you need to say!!!!! God knows and is mindful of all his Children... we are just to be tools in his hands :) We sent Sister O. (comp. that went home) off with President and Sister Mains :( it was soooo sad! BUT! I’m really glad to have the opportunity to really stretch myself!!! It’s already been full of miracles!!! I’ll have to send you pictures of the houses in the neighborhood everyone in 4th ward lives in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMGOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WAS IN CULTURE SHOCK! I CAN'T EVER COME BACK TO AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha but seriously!!!!! It was really hard to try to adjust haha but! It’s really fun to try and use a fork and knife now!!!! #i'mpracticallysingaporean :) Our investigators have been so busy!!!! BUT!!!!! S.S. is doing well, she could def. use the prayers still. A. just got back from Malaysia and now she is meeting with us this week. I’m very sad she has to go back so soon! :( But we will have to take a picture and send it to you!!! We met K, one of our Former invest. the other day and set up an appointment!!!! WE ARE SO EXCITED!!!!!!!! Sorry this email is all over the place!!! BUT!!!! We have just a lot of great potentials and this next week is going to be amazing!!!!!!!! I love you all so much!!!! GOSPEL IS TRUE!!!!!!! Keep on keeping on!!!! Love Eternally Sister Waldvogel O.W.L.E <3

January 27, 2014 Hi Family!!!! Well this week has been CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!! :) We had zone meeting this week which ROCKED!!!! It was centered on being master finders and was so uplifting!!!!! The sisters sang a musical number and we had brilliant trainings!! Our zone pretty much rocks my world!!! The next district (those who know of the district will understand) anyway!!! For role plays they made me do one in front of everyone!!! It was with my zone leader, centered on a person who has not so great intentions, haha needless to say it was awkward, but I learned a lot! I have really made it a point to focus on how to begin teaching!!! Best PMG chapter ever! Anyway!!! We also watched a video about the atonement and how it applies to missionary work!!!! *everyone watch it* it will change your life! It’s so amazing!!!! We go through hard things, because we are allowed to feel just a token of the price he paid! It wasn't easy for him...why should it be easy for us?! It was the greatest day ever! Anyway! We were able to stop by and visit S. for dinner! It was so nice to talk with her and see how she is doing! It's hard for her to be in a different ward, but she is really doing well! Couldn’t be more proud of her!!!! We went on splits with the Assisters!!! And it was a blast!!!!!!! I went with Sister Bishop!!! LOVE HER!!!! She is my old house mate and is the greatest person ever! :) We had a really good RC lesson with S.S! She is so good! Practically taught us the restoration! :) We met with one of our less Actives and the lesson was completely lead by the spirit! It was one of those lessons that make being a missionary completely worth it!!!! :) I love being able to feel the spirit!!!!! "You know your teaching by the spirit when you learn from your own words...." Also, we had interviews with President!!!! He is the most inspired man ever!!!! SO COOL!!!!! When he blessed our house we all felt such a huge lift in our hearts!!!!! The power of the spirit after he left was so amazing!!!!!!! Interviews were awesome! We have some work to do on our area book and finding new investigators! BUT!!!!!! We already had a lot of plans for this week!!! And were ready to ACT!!!!!! We finally met with F!!!! It was so good! She just called us up and asked if we could meet!!!!! We shared a message about the priesthood and invited her to receive a priesthood blessing... she needs a lot of prayers right now!!!!!!!!! We are really striving to help her!!! :) We had a really hard experience with one of our investigators and their family... it was very difficult, but I am putting complete faith in the Lord that all things will work together as we all do what is right! It’s really crazy how many things we go through on missions!!!! I wish I could share the experiences but for confidential purposes I can't. I have really learned about relying on the spirit!!! THAT’S FOR SURE!!!!!!! Anyway!!! A. came to a baptism with us, and she LOVED it!!!!!!! We are sad because she is going to be baptized in Mongolia, but we feel very blessed to have been a part of her story and conversion experience!!! WE LOVE HER AND M!!!!!!<3 that’s her daughter and they are the cutest!!!!!!! AC is so Fun!!!!!!!! I love that lady so much! She gave us love letter cookies (Chinese New Year thing) she is so funny and wants us to make her cookies!!! So during nightly planning we whipped up some cookies to give to her! hahah luckily my comp rocks and knows how to cook and bake and she is AMAZING!!!!!!!! This week she has just seriously stepped up her game on everything! She is a wonderful example of how to be a true disciple of Christ! And she just wants so badly to be the best she can!!!! WOW! She rocks!!! The end! :) We met with sister J. at little India!!! She said to say hello to you! It was an amazing experience!!! We love her! She talked to us about a lot of concerns she has with leaving her family for her mission and how to prepare! She is just amazing! And has such great life experience and she is going to be the best missionary ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! S.S. is being a rocking Member missionary! We met with her and one of her friends and shared the book of Mormon with her friend!!!!! We hope that she will really want to learn and pray that S.S. will continue to be AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) Church was so good!!!!! A. T. had his farewell this Sunday!!!!!! It was so sad!!!!!!!! He did an amazing job!!! I know that he will be a rockin missionary!!! He talked a lot about the atonement! He rocks!! Anyway! I was sitting in church and realized I was wayyy to comfortable there! It feels like my home ward now!!!! I love the people a lot!!!! It’s going to be so hard to leave :( I really want to focus on just building this area up!!!! Helping the Ward members be member missionaries and really finding new investigators!!! So next week we will have a lot to report on!!! It’s gonna be good!!!!!! I love you all soooooo much!!!! You are amazing! I appreciate the emails and the prayers!!! I feel them! It’s been a little bit of a rough week with a few break downs, but I know God is aware of everything we go through!!!!! :) I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep on keeping on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love Eternally Sister Waldvogel O.W.L.E <3 "One cardinal lesson of the parable, apart from the representation of actual conditions present and future is that of patience, long suffering, and toleration... each an attribute of Deity and a trait of character that all men should cultivate."

January 20, 2014 Hi Family!!!! How are you?! I love you and miss you all! Everything is going well in Singapore! Still in Woodlands!!!! :) whoot whoot! haha 7 months go team!! :) I love this ward, so it rocks! Anyway! A. is doing so well!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is on date for Feb. 9th!!!! YAY!!! It’s going really well.. We just need someone who speaks Mongolian because it's hard to really know if she understands everything! BUT! We know that the spirit is the ultimate teacher, and that is what brings true conversion! Anyway! Love her daughter M! She came to church and played with a little girl like all day! It was adorable!!! :) Anyway!!! This week was SO LONG!!!!! After Sister Black left there were a lot of tears :( but it's all good! She was amazing and we are so happy to have lived with her! :) Anyway! So if you could keep S. in your prayers this week it would be great, but it’s all going to work out :) we had a lot of appointments cancel this week :( which is crazy sad :( BUT! It’s alright... there will be hard times and I have learned to face them head on and keep going! Because it will make me stronger as I use Christ’s atonement to take his yoke upon me :) mission’s rock! We met with one of our LA and read the BOM with him, because this is one of my new goals for every person I work with for the rest of my mission! And I’m stoked to see how it really helps them! They feel the spirit and enjoy reading the Book of Mormon because they understand it!!! We met with AC and made her cookies, haha (she was like, too sweet!!!!!!! Asians can’t take sweet things!!!) She is amazing and we love her so much! She is going to come to church after Chinese New Year… This is going on right now! I have taken a few pictures, but there are decorations EVERYWHERE!!!!! Its soooo cool! It’s the year of the horse, so there are a lot of decorations with horses on them! We had a very spiritual lesson with A. on the POS focused on the atonement...and how we can be freed from guilt and shame through our savior Jesus Christ and she was like, how can I do that?! WHOOT! BAPTISM!!!!!!!!!!!! Always a miracle when that happens :) anyway! We had a ROCKIN lesson with S.S. and sister Lim! :) Sister Lim is like my favorite! She just tells it how it is and is able to really connect with those she teaches! I want to be like her!!!!!! She is so cool! :) Anyway!!!! WHOOT! IT WAS MY 6 months!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) It feels weird how fast/slow time goes!!!! Crazy! Anyway! We went to the open house at the Senkang chapel where we really hoped to have F. come, but she has been really sick so we are just praying that she can meet with us! We know she will find comfort in the message we share!!!!!!! But the open house was way fun!!! and we have decided to do a mini FHE and open house at the chapel we attend to get members and missionaries working together to find people to teach! :) Elder Robbins is our new district leader and new to Singapore and is serving in woodlands with us! He is so funny!!!!!!! He is from New Orleans!!! (My fav. place!!!!) We are excited to work with him and he is totally ready to build up this area! Sister Proffit and I have a lot of plans to work with WM and to find new investigators because we are ready to build up this area!!!!!!!! I want to go out with a BANG!!! :) :) anyway!!!!! We had an FHE at Sister E’s house with her 2 RC daughters J. and B. W. was there with Grandma V. and they are the CUTEST!!! We talked about Alma 32 and I had to improvise replacing a seed with an almond, ground with my bag, and water, sun, soil, etc. the flower ended up being a bow that we had in our bag, haha :) it was a little ridiculous but it was a very enjoyable night! We played a game and had some treats! And they were so cute, they told me "never leave woodlands sister" and I wanted to cry!!!!!! :) We went to church and people kept giving us cookies and treats for Chinese New Year!!! hahaha I’m super excited for my free day so I can try one!!! :) Anyway!!! Family! I Love you a lot!!!!! Miracles happen every day!!! ~ Alma 7:23 READ IT!!!!!!!!!!! Christ will always stand by us... as we strive to become like him, we will shine with his light!!!!! I love you all so much!!!!!!!!!!! Love Eternally Sister Hailee Waldvogel <3 O.W.L.E <3

January 13, 2014 Hello Family!!!! <3 How are you?! All is well in Singapore!!! This week was CRAZY!!!! Also AWESOME!!!!! It rocked my world! First off! Monday night we went to dinner with the rockin investigator I told you about last week A. He took us to a soup place and it was fantastic! I loved it! Ate with chopsticks!!! WHOOT! I’m learning! haha :) anyway! We had to end up passing him off to the 3rd ward sisters (Filipino ward) which made us sad, but we are so glad he is being taught and wants to learn more about the gospel! He is so prepared!!! Tuesday was crazy! We had a super crazy fun activity at the chapel with all the missionaries from West Malaysia and Singapore! So that means a TON of my favorite missionaries came in and we had a blast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 I was so stoked! Anyway! We also cleaned the chapel, but they made like a game out of it so it was pretty fun! I’ll send you some pictures! All the sisters and I had a little too much fun with the cleaning supplies... things got out of hand ;) jk jk! But! Zone conference rocked!!!! It was a mission tour with Elder Wilson and his wife. He is an area 70 from Asia and they did an amazing job!!! This zone conference was so uplifting!!! Sister Wilson gave an analogy of a clay pot that has cracks in it. If you were to put a candle inside, the candle would still shine through the cracks! This relates to us!!!! We don’t have to be perfect to shine with the light of Christ... we just have to keep the light shining within us and though our imperfections! :) Because it will shine!!!!!!!!! Anyway! let’s just say it rocked! I made a goal to read the BOM with our investigators, LA and RC because Elder Wilson gave us that challenge! So it's been doing wonders!!!!!!!!!! We did that with S.S. and she loved it! She understood what was happening and couldn’t wait to know what happened next! It was really cool! It really invited the spirit in also which made our lessons ROCK!!! :) Anyway! This week was awesome!! We had dinner at bishop Lohs home where I ate Duck brain, foot, and neck.... also pig stomach!!!! WHOOT! I’m adventurous!!! It was a little ridiculous, but I went for it and it was quite an experience! Haha! Anyway!!! This week was kind of hard also! We met with a new investigator and in the middle of our first lesson, another guy leans over and gives him a paper that with anti-Mormon stuff on it..... It was really hard, but we were able to testify of simple truths and invite the spirit to touch his heart! We pray that he will meet with us again.... he has cancelled, but we are really having faith! :) Also, another investigator called us and told us she didn't believe in the BOM or Joseph Smith and that our church gave feelings that satan makes us feel..... It was a very long and difficult 20 min. conversation! BUT!!! I got through it with the spirit and was able to testify of Jesus Christ... and that she can't know it's true until she actually opens the book and reads from it! Anyway! It was good because we made another time to meet to answer her questions with the Chinese Sisters, so, It will be really great! :) I’m so glad I was able to be patient and listen, that’s the key!!!!! LISTENING!!! And LOVING!!!! Good stuff! Anyway!!!! I love the Woodlands Ward! I’m pretty sure I’m staying this transfer, but g-boy is the best! He came up to me and was like... please don’t leave! I almost wanted to cry!!!! I really love this ward and they are all doing an EXCELLENT job and getting into the groove of missionary work, which is what needs to happen! I feel very blessed to see the change in each of them! Mission’s rock!!!! I’m wayyy sad Sister Black leaves this week! But we are going to be besties for life! SO! It’s okay! :) I love you guys so much!!!!!!!! That’s about all I have for this week! BUT!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep on keeping on!!!! Also!!!! WRITE ME LETTERS!!!!! <3 :) And... SHOUT OUT TO BALLROOM PEEPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You all rock at emailing me! I love you so much and if I don’t send you an email right away I’m working on writing!!!!!!!! I love you all so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love Sister Waldvogel O.W.L.E <3

January 6, 2014 Hi Family! :) How are you? I hope things are going well! This week has been sooooo crazy! And soooooo awesome! We have seen a lot of really neat miracles! First off on Monday we went to the D's home with K. and his wife J, and their ADORABLE kids T, M, and K! They are so adorable! I will send pics later! Anyway! We had a family home evening with them and helped each of them make their own missionary name tag! It was really great! They even had a non-member who lives with them that was joining in! Then we played Simon says... and related it to following Jesus Christ! :) We loved being with them! They are such a strong and good family! Anyway! We met with S.S. and she is doing really well! Very excited to learn about the temple, marriage, and church callings! She is doing so well! Everyone is getting sick though, a lot of people were sick this week! Including my roomies :( so I’m hoping I don’t catch anything haha! Anyway! MY FAVORITE STORY!!!! We met with A! The sweet lady from Mongolia and her daughter M. who is 2 and crazy adorable! We met in the nursery at church so that she could play and it was so funny! She would come up to me, and try to make me eat the "food" it was so cute! I missed nannying so much!!!!!!!!!!! But the lesson was soooooo good! The spirit was there despite the language barrier! We helped her come closer to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ! It was so amazing! The little girl didn't want us to leave when we were walking away! haha she came up and grabbed our hands and wanted us to follow her! It was soooo cute! We really want them to stay in Singapore and not go back!!! haaha but we are really excited to keep meeting with her!!!!! we had New Missionary Training! Which was a lot of fun! There were SO MANY new missionaries! But it rocked! Each of us bore our testimonies and it was really amazing to lift each other up. Even President Mains commented on how much he sees how we love and uplift each other! We went to little India afterward and it was a blast! The A.Ps are hilarious! Elder Crosland and Elder Tony crack me up… I have this saying I picked up from my trainer "your honestly the worst..." or "are you joking?!" anyway! They all make fun of me for it! Also, I went on a trip to Indonesia!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOT! It was wayyy fun! I have some pictures to send… I went with Sister Stokes and Sister Tai it was wayyy fun to get to know sister tai more! We just walked around the mall and decided to just stay around there, much safer! But it was a blast!!!!!!!!! I got some bajutidurs, key chains, and bracelets! It was wayy fun! Anyway! CHRUCH!!!!!!! WAS THE BOMB!!!!!!! I am so proud of the members! They are all doing a fantastic job with Missionary work! They are all getting really excited and trying to help out more and more! We are definitely seeing the work hastening! They were telling stories about people they talked to on the MRT and while they were out and about! It was amazing!!!!!!!!!!! I was so proud!!!!!! :) Anyway! So we had a referral this week from mormon.org (first time ever on my mission) but he wasn't very keen on meeting with us! SO! We dropped by a B.O.M as he requested and we want to try to contact him soon and pray that he meets with us!!!! He really wants to find out for himself! So we are praying that his heart opens to meeting with the missionaries! Sister Proffit rocks my world!!!!!!! She met this guy named A. 2 days ago while I was gone and he is from the Philippines! He came to church and is now an investigator! He is soooo good! The things he believes align with our churches belief and its so crazy! He rocks!!!!!! We sat after church and just talked with him for a long time, and he really wanted to learn more!!! Sadly we have to pass him! BUT! It was a miracle that sis. Proffit met him! This gospel is going to change his life! it’s amazing! Anyway!!!! Life is great! Things are going really well! We have zone conference next week, so expect a lot of pictures!!!! haha I love you guys so much!!!!! Stay strong and keep on keeping on!!!!! Love Eternally Sister Waldvogel O.W.L.E <3 "My yoke is easy.... my burden is light...."

December 30, 2013 Hi family!!!!! How is everyone?! I can't believe it's the last week of 2013, that went by so fast! It was AMAZING to Skype! It was so fun!! The rest of Christmas was really cool! We met a lot of really awesome people, gave out a copy of the Book of Mormon, and said Merry Christmas to every person we could on the streets! It was fun! First off for Christmas Eve! We went to Sister J’s house, with her daughter N. (and her two sons) I. and R! It was so fun! There was a huge party with all their family! Also, Sis. J's son and his wife and ADORABLE baby came from America! He is so hilarious! Reminds me so much of Brent! Anyway! We chatted with him and all her wonderful family and ate a TON of AMAZING Indian food! I had a lot! It was so great! Then on Christmas Day we went to visit a part member family, and also visited S, she had to work! So it was a good Christmas! We wrote a note to all the missionaries in Singapore which was a really good experience! They loved it! We are really trying to get to know all the missionaries so we can all work together! :) It’s rocking! Our ward mission leader, G. left for Hawaii so we met with his family and it was a BLAST!!! They are the most fun family ever! We loved visiting with them so much! We shared a message about setting goals to become more Christ like, it was really cool! :) S.S. was confirmed on Sunday!!!! Which is wayyyy exciting! We are so happy! We met with her and she is just so much happier then she used to be!!! it’s really great to see people change! So Saturday was crazy! We met a whole bunch of AMAZING people! We noticed that we had stopped praying to meet people who were prepared, and so we started doing that again and it works!!!!!!!!! Prayer rocks my world! We were able to meet 5 different people that day, who were really amazing! Mostly people who were visiting from the Philippines! But it was really neat to hear their experiences they have had with missionaries!!!! Things totally happen for a reason! Anyway! It’s been really hard this week, because we had some investigators drop us, and a lot of them just aren’t answering our phone calls or SMS, so it's been really sad. BUT!!!! We are really striving to work with the ward members to find people to teach! There was a really awesome combined lesson about this that G. gave as his last bang! Now Sam L. is the new Ward Mission Leader!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOT! We are so excited! Anyway! This is our new big goal for this next year! IT’S GOING TO BE AWESOME!! We met with the sweetest lady ever! Her name is A! She is from Mongolia and has a 2 year old daughter M! We taught her yesterday and she really wants to continue to learn! We are sooooo stoked! She is the sweetest, loved coming to church, and really wants to come closer to God! Last night we were able to go with the Elders to give a blessing to a sister who is studying in Australia, but is here for the Holidays and it was really nice! She was the sweetest and really felt the power of the priesthood! The spirit was so strong! We have had a lot of crazy days and experiences this week! BUT! The ward yesterday rocked! We spoke to several people who just opened up to us, and I really feel so much love for them!!! I have never felt so much love for people in my life! So! We are very excited to see how this New Year goes!!! I Love you all and am praying for you!!!!!!!!! Keep on keeping on!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU ETERNALLY!!!!!!!!!!! Love Sister Hailee Waldvogel O.W.L.E FOREVER
