December 23, 2013 HELLO FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 How are all of you?! Life is great here! Really feeling the Christmas Spirit! It’s really strange being away from home and having it so hot here! BUT! I love the idea of really having Christmas the way that Christ would! Sharing the joy, and serving others! SO! I really couldn't be happier with how this Christmas will be! WHAT ARE YOUR CHRISTMAS PLANS?! :) ALSO!!!!!!! S.S. GOT BAPTIZED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOT!!!!!!!! She rocks! Two other people were baptized also! J. and B! They are all really close! IT was truly amazing! I have pictures to send! Elder Isberto (Woodlands elder DL) baptized S.S., Elder Tseng baptized B. and Sam L. baptized J! It was really neat! And every one of the girls after they came out of the font cried with tears of joy, peace, and filled with the spirit! It was such a sweet experience to be there! That was the biggest miracle of the week!!!!!!! SO! We had a Christmas program with President and Sister Mains which was really fun! They read the Christmas story to us and we did a nativity, it was really nice! We sang a lot! And did a little service! Filling stockings for kids at a hospital, it was really fun! We met this really awesome lady on the MRT and she was a recent convert to Christianity! So we met with her and had one of the hardest lessons of my mission!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT! It was really good, the spirit was there and we were able to help answer several questions, and help her to feel of God’s love for her! We have to pass her, but I'm so glad that we had the opportunity to invite her to come unto Christ! We had Christmas dinner at the W’s home!!!!!! IT WAS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!! I do miss American food sometimes haha! I'm going to miss Grandmas cooking on Christmas SOOO MUCH!!!!! They invited the friends from thanksgiving over and it was really good to talk with them again! The elders are going to be teaching them! And hopefully they will come to church soon! F. was a little worried about coming to church and we prayed a lot to understand a way that we can help her! My AWESOME Companion had the amazing idea to give her a tour of the church! So that’s what we are doing tonight! And hopefully she can feel a little more comfortable, and really feel the spirit there! We have seen a lot of miracles from trying to be aware of people around us, opportunities to serve, and striving to gain the trust of members! There is still so much to do! BUT! We are heading in a good direction and I love that we are able to see God's hand in everything we do! The sisters we live with (Sister Black and Sister Alfrey) ROCK!!!!!! They are really great!!! They have made this last transfer the best one yet!!!!!!! I pray that everyone has a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you all and am praying for you! I hope that you can feel the love of our Savior Jesus Christ and share it with those around you! We are so blessed! Let us thank Heavenly father and our Prince of Peace by giving gifts of love and service!!!!! I know that we will find that peace and joy through Christ!!!!!!!! Keep on keeping on!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love Eternally Sister Waldvogel O.W.L.E <3

We went to the Merlion for my greenie! *WHO ROCKS* she is the best! and then we had an appointment with the C. family! Which was wayyy good… being with them really was uplifting! The spirit was so strong in our lesson! We heart attacked a family in our ward, and they caught us as we were running away! hahah but they appreciated it so much! You could tell it meant a lot! I love when we are able to help people feel loved!!!!!!!!! We also met with S. and had our first recent convert lesson! It was really great! you can really tell that she has a whole new light about her! She gave me the sweetest Christmas card!!!!!!!!! It was in broken English and so sweet! :) Also! WE MET WITH F.!!!!!!! I’m so excited about it! She was having a really hard time, but has been praying and reading the BOM and knows that when she does, it brings her comfort! SHE IS GOLDEN!!!! And we love her so much! Next step is to get her to church! This time of year everyone is going on holiday to Malaysia, the Philippines, or China!!!! haha so it's hard to meet with people sometimes!!! But we read Alma 32 with her, and she felt the spirit and was so excited!!! I love her a lot! ALSO! When we met with S.S, we have been teaching her the commandments, it’s gone really, really well!!!!!! She just accepts it, and has a strong testimony of how they can help in her life! And she still comes to church even after her grandma told her she didn't want her to!!!! ROCKIN!!!!! We met with AC! Convinced her to come to church next week, for God, and so we pray that she will come on Sunday!!! She is the best as ever! Love her a lot!!! We went to visit Sister J! I gave her your love, and she loves you guys!!! We met with her daughter N. (who I had a really amazing talk with) and her two sons, R and I (cutest little boys I have ever met!!!) anyway! The daughter is so amazing! And they invited us to a Christmas party on Christmas Eve!!!!! WE ARE SO EXCITED!!!!!! Missionary work is really moving along!!! :) We went to the T. Families home where we watched the New Testament video, and had a very spiritual thought!!! IT WAS SO COOL!!!!!!!!! The spirit was very tangible there! We had our ward Christmas party!!! It was so fun! Then we taught Sha Sha! Genesis followed us and we taught the law of chastity! (All I could think of was how dad had that pic with the bunny) anyway! It was really nerve racking but it was amazing! She really was able to feel peace from being able to keep Gods Commandments! Then church!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We met a super awesome lady on the MRT and she was like, I love that you guys are out here as missionaries!!!!!! SO! We hope to meet with her and teach her about what makes our church different!!!! And we pray that it goes well, her name is Y. :) we also had a walk in at church a lady from Mongolia with her 2 year old daughter who didn't speak English, but we had fun anyway!!!! haha she and I made faces at each other! It was fun :) and the mom wants to meet with us next Sunday!!!!!!!!!!! We are so excited!!!! Another miracle!!! We were invited to the N. family’s home for dinner where they had 2 nonmember families, less active and active families!!!! It was awesome to just get to know all of them, share a spiritual message, and help them to really bring missionary work together!!!!!! :) WHOOT!!! Miracles galore this week! It has been really good and we have thought of a lot of things to do to help get the ward more involved. I am just really excited to work with Sister Proffit and build up this area!!!!! YAYA!

That’s my #1 miracle!!! I was so worried! BUT! It was amazing! I even sang a duet (I WAS TERRIFIED!!!!!!!!!!!!) but people were really nice! S. was SOOOO happy!!!!!!! She bore her testimony at the end, and I knew GOD had PREPARED HER! It was truly such an amazing feeling to be a part of her journey to finding Jesus Christ! This week was kind of crazy! I had to stay in because I was quite sick, but it was all good!!! I got a blessing and it was the most amazing blessing ever! Elder Devey and Elder Beckstrand gave me a blessing. I have a firm testimony that the power of the Priesthood works! They blessed me that I would be healed according to my faith, and it was amazing! He explained how both God and my Savior Jesus Christ understand my sorrows, trials, and heart ache, but Christ will and has carried me! :) IT WAS AMAZING!!!!! He also promised that my family would come closer in ways which they never have before (exact wording)! It was an answer to so many of my prayers! I really can’t even explain to you, how blessed I have been! This week was slower, but full of little/huge miracles! AC showed up to church out of the blue!!!!! HUGEEEE! She is so old and sick, she can't really travel far, but she came! Without us even committing her to come this week! Also a LA member came to all of church which was amazing! And we had a baptism!

Zhang just became a Chinese speaking sister! crazy! first time they have ever had chinese sisters! WOW!!! anyway! i'm super excited, but really nervous haha :) it will be good! I love woodlands!!! I love the ward, and have loved working in it! God always knows the bigger picture, and he knows what’s best so I have complete Faith in his Decisions!! It’s been a little hard, but I'm really trying to focus on helping her become the best missionary she can be and the best servant of the Lord she can be! :) It's been very, very difficult, but I can do difficult things! They all help you grow! It's been raining like CRAZY here! I have gotten caught in it once and was soaking wet! haha! But I LOVE THE RAIN!!!! Everyone thinks I'm crazy, but it’s sooo fun! KANDECE L. is my favorite person EVER!!!! She wrote me the sweetest letter! And was totally inspired all the way from Utah to write it to me! We are pretty much going to be besties!!!!

A sister in our ward passed away so we attended her funeral, which was so sad :( they do them differently here, most people are cremated but this was a casket. Anyway! We paid our condolences and hope to visit with their family soon! Super cool though! On our way there, we were SOOO LOST! and we almost just gave up! BUT! We ran into someone who was going to the same place! TURNS OUT! It was the neice of the sister who passed! SO! It was a great opportunity to talk with her a little! THINGS HAPPEN FOR A REASON!!! The end :) anyway! The next day we met with sister P. and her family and had AMAZING INDIAN FOOD! (I’m obbsesed! and going to learn how to make it so I can make it when I get home!!!) Anyway! We then heart attacked the Lim family! which was a blast! haha sister Lim called me later that next day! She IS THE CUTEST!!!!! also! HER DAUGHTER IS THE BESTTTTT!!!!!! She wrote me a letter, sent me stickers, and a book mark!!!! I HAVENT EVEN MET HER AND I LOVE HER!!!!! I have decided we are going to be besties for life! haha she really is lead by the spirit. I needed that letter so badly! We met with S. and she will hopefully be baptized this Sunday, but a huge problem has occurred! she can't be baptized in our ward because of where she lives. She can only attend church at 9am so we have to pass her to Toa Payoh ward (which thankfully is sis. Trottier and Kramer) so we are going to double tag it all and make sure this baptism happens on Sunday! :) Sadly we have to pass her, but we are so proud of all her hard work and desires! We had new missionary training! IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really learned all trials are growing experiences!!! TRUTH! That’s all I can say :) it was amazing! so! We met with Sis.

Their kids (3 girls) told the story it was adorable! haha anyway! We helped sort through clothes for the people in the Philippines! It was wayyyy fun!!!!!! I talked to B!!!

I loveeee the e-mails everyone has been sending! They seriously come at the perfect time and lift my spirits!!! This week has been a little difficult, my patience has been tested and I have spent a lot of time on my knees! BUT! It’s great because that means even though Satan is hitting hard, something amazing is going to come of it! :) Well! Last Monday we went to a science museum for Pday! Got in for FREE! WHOOT! Free things in Singapore just don’t exist! So it was wayyyy legit! We went with Kramer and Trottier! It was way fun! Then we went and visited Sister J. (sweet lady in our ward) her mom who is 91, I have mentioned her before! She is AMAZING! She was in the hospital, so we went to her house when she returned home. Gave her a card, sang Christmas hymns, and left with a prayer! She was so happy, and was crying with so much joy and love! I was beyond touched! :) We love her a lot!!! Anyway! The next day we went to heart attack (woodlands tradition) a family in our ward and it was so fun! We also met with S.S. this week and she on date!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOT!!!!! It was a really good lesson! Gen. (our ward mission leader followed us). We also went on splits with the A-sisters on Thursday! It was AMAZING!!!!!!!!! I went with sister Tehrani! (my grandma in the mission) and she is the best!!!! Seriously one of my besties in the mission!!! :) We met with P, and had the most spiritual lesson EVER!!!!!! She is the best! She is so excited to pray, and come to know of the truth for herself! and she really is the sweetest girl ever! I love her a lot!!! The spirit was totally working in that lesson! Sis.

We are so proud of her! Thank you for all the prayers!!! THEY WORK! We met with AC and she just changes her mind all the time!!! HAHA I love her so much!

November 11, 2013 HI FAMILY! How are all of you?! WOW! this week has really been crazy! We have 2 new investigators this week!!!! WHAT, WHAT!!! :) so stoked! anyway! Sister Zhang met a girl from her ward in China (the only other ysa there) and she is studying in Singapore, so we went to dinner with her at a Korean buffet (SO GOOD!!!) anyway! we met with S.S., our new investigator from last week, and taught her the 1st lesson! With CW a sister that just finished her mission in New York :) it was a good lesson, but it wasn’t as good as it could have been because people here don't like to meet in their homes, so we usually meet them at a McDonalds, KFC, or somewhere that has a TON of ppl! It's really difficult! SO we are focusing on trying to find places to meet with investigators that are quieter, where we are able to focus and feel the spirit! :) Anyway! we also met with E, a ward member who has been in America for 3 years, and his cousin J. who is LEGIT!!!!! he was just baptized into a Christian church and is totally open! he is wayyy cool! we can't wait to teach him more!!!! :) We met with S! she is doing much, much better! we put her on date for November 28th and we have been calling her every day to help her! she said that she is praying a lot every day! She was able to get work off to come to all of church!!!! YES!!!! :) we are so happy about that! :) Than we met with P! A hindu girl WHO IS THE BESTTTT!!!!!!! she is seriously the cutest girl alive! she is so happy, fashionable, and is really interested in learning about Christianity! :) we are excited to keep meeting with her! We also met with a guy from China that Sister Zhang met, and had a pass off lesson with the Chinese elders! It was so good!!!! i didn't understand anything but the guy was so sweet! He told me I was very polite and beautiful!!!! I LOVED THAT!!! he was very, very nice! we pray that he continues to learn! :) anyway! We met with W! (crazy story!) so FL is the girl who referred him from Temple square and she met with him two Friday’s ago. She told us he wanted us to meet with him, and we actually saw him at Chinatown! So we made an appointment and all met together! Sadly! he still doesn't have the desire, and he didn't remember anything we taught him, i was quite discouraged! BUT!!! it's all good, he wants to meet again, so we will see once more if he kept his commitments! :) we are praying for him!!!! ANYWAY! F. is the cutest! i love her a lot! she is so good! We also met with AC (love that lady!) she said she would come to church next Sunday! let’s pray she is well enough! we met with F!!!! I LOVE HER!!!!! FA also came! She has been praying, she even told her mom she was learning and wanted to join (HUGE DEAL) and it was a really good lesson! I have a testimony that besides the fact that we are imperfect! GOD still allows us to be filled with the spirit, and testify of truth! :) ITS AMAZING! CHURCH WAS SOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we taught gospel principles (tithes and offering!) it was wayy good! we used chocolate coins haha it was wayy fun! We had 2 investigators come ShaSha and Susheela! Fazz wanted to come, but was sick :( thats okay! it was amazing! Woodlands ward is really uping their game!!! Stepping up to the plate!!! IM SO PROUD OF THEM!!! :) I love them all so much! we have really had an amazing week! we have taught so many lessons!!! i have never taught this many lessons in my whole life!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!! ALSO!!! i contacted this guy on the train! (I HAVE A TESTIMONY that opening your mouth at all times is important!) so we had one stop till we had to get off, and this guy had a cali shirt on so i said hey! i like your shirt, asked him if he had been there, told him i lived there, and he asked why i was in Singapore (always my fav. when they ask that, haha) so i told him.
