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
