Hi Family <3
How are you??? This week has been AWESOME!!!
And really CRAZY! It went by so fast! I can't even believe it! We had a great
week this last week! Full of ups and downs, but full of miracles!!! We had 8
member present lessons which is HUGE!!!!! The standard of excellence for our
district is 7 MP Lessons! It was a miracle! We are able to do much more with 4
of us! We also went on exchanges with the STL's Sister B. and I went
with Sister H. into PJ area! It was so nice to be back!!! And Sister T.
and Sister C. stayed in KL with Sister L! It was so fun to be with
Sister H. again! We talked about all of our good times and talked about
how J, A, KL, S and everyone was doing! J. is going to be
baptized in December! I really hope I’m here to see it!!! :) When we were there
we visited a Hindu couple whose son passed away about 1 year ago from Dengue
fever. They miss him so much; we taught them about the plan of Salvation! It
was amazing! The father was a little hard, he is still very upset and bitter...
but the mom was crying and said she wants to pray and ask God if this plan is
true! I’m so excited for the PJ sisters to continue meeting with them! The
lesson was just full of the spirit! :) Our investigator S. is struggling
really badly, we can't meet with her for a few weeks, but please keep her in
your prayers! It's very difficult to watch people struggle! And it's so hard to see these people who don’t have very much! Many
of them we can't share the gospel with, but I know that with the Lords help, we
can find those who are prepared to accept the gospel and bring them into light!
MIRACLE!!!! While we were on exchanges the
other sisters met with our investigator T, she doesn't speak a lot of
English, but we brought a member that was able to translate for us! And SHE
just LOVED it! She wants to come to church to learn more and to be baptized! We
are really excited to keep working with her! Thanks to V! :) We also had
an Open house at our chapel on Saturday, it was really stressful!!!!! But it
was AMAZING! Over 20 non-members came to the open house! It was really cool! We
had a service project going on, a family history room, the Restoration of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ (which was our station), and lunch was provided! It was
a really neat open house! Such a great place for the spirit to touch the hearts
of everyone that came! :)
The elders in our branch are the zone leaders
and there was an elder who had to go home for health reasons; the comp of the elder who had gone home is
staying with them, so we decided to heart attack them...but with stars...
(didn't want any violations of pg. 33 of the white handbook) and we had made
them planners for this next transfer and ditched them at their door. It was one
of the most fun heart attacks ever! We had so much fun doing it together! :) On
Sunday we went to the M. families home for dinner with all the YSA in the
district and a few of our investigators, B. and Is! It was a
thanksgiving dinner with them! It was SOOO GOOD! It’s been so long since I’ve
had solid American food like that! hahaha! It was wayyy nice! I def. miss mom
and grandmas cooking a lot!!!! :)
Sister M. has a referral for us that we
are meeting on Wednesday! We are SOOO excited! It was a miracle that she is
meeting with us! Sister M. is so excited to have her learn about the gospel!
We are really praying that we can help her! She’s a young mom from Poland and
is an art dealer with her two kids and husband; she wants her family to be
closer together! And Sister M. brought up the church and she accepted to
learn about it!!!!! :) Miracles are happening left and right, and we are
finding those people that are ready for this message! The Lords work is moving
forward! I'm so grateful for the gospel! This past week I was thinking a lot
about second chances, and the Atonement as we apply it in our lives by making
repentance a pattern of our life, we are aloud second chances! Christ’s arms
are continually opened to us! Sister M. said something that I thought was
very profound! It's the fact that the marks on Christ’s Hands are not for him
to remember the sacrifice he gave... but for US to remember! I pray that I can
always remember my savior and what he has done for every one of us! And I pray
that we can each take that to the children of God who are around us!
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!! Keep on keeping on
<3
Love
Eternally,
Sister Waldvogel

Well not much has happened this week.. Except
TRANSFERS!!!! I’m back in SINGAPORE!!! I looked at the transfer sheet and
couldn't even believe it!! But! I’m in Bedok ward! And I LOVE IT! I also LOVE
my companion so so much!!!!! Her name is Sister Hansen; she is from Arizona and
is literally the girl version of Austin! We get along so well! I love her so
much!!!!! We are having a blast!!! :) It was crazy sad to leave KL! But I’m so
glad I was able to serve there! I LOVEEEEE them!! We were able to visit with
M. though and that was AMAZING! She was soooo sweet! We were able to share
a little of the Restoration with her and she is excited to learn more about
what is so important to her daughter! I love her so much! I’m going to miss
everyone like CRAZY! But I’m grateful for the people I was able to meet!!! I
miss all the hijabs in KL, but! Singapore is AMAZING!!! It was so good to come
back and see everyone!!! <3 I cried so hard on Sunday seeing everyone that I
love so much!!!
I've been sick over the past few days, which
has made it really hard to go out! BUT! We have been able to go through our
area book and talk with our Elders to get to know our area! And I’m feeling
better now! So we have a lot of great plans to work with the ward and just go
out and BUILD IT UP!!!! <3 it's a little hard cause we are white washing (we
are both brand new to the area) and it's kind of like we are opening; it was
opened six weeks ago for sisters, but it kind of crumbled so it's going to be
hard, but it's going to be ROCKIN! We are going to work with the members, see
miracles, and just share Gods love with his children like CRAZY!!! I'm sorry i
don’t have a lot
