Hello Everyone!
Wow! I love how on the mission you can never stop learning.
Every new week is a start to a new lesson you need to learn. It was really has
to not see our investigator because he dropped us earlier in the week. It was super sad. I have pondered and prayed and I know he will
be baptized one day. It is so important that we follow the will of the Father,
not the will of ourselves. God is perfect and knows what we need.
I am so grateful for this wonderful week so much has happened.
Last Monday night we went to an appointment and the person was not there, so we
prayed to know where we should go to contact. We felt we should go to the end
of a street and the second house we contacted the guy came right out and asked
us right away when we could come back. We were really shocked, but he told us
his niece has been going through a rough time in Florida and she prayed to know
if God was real and to show her a sign if he was and the next day the
missionaries showed up at her house. Then, the next day we showed up at his. We
taught him later that week and we will go visit him tomorrow and try to teach
his family too. Such a miracle.

Another night we were walking past a bar to an appointment
and I saw this young guy sitting down drinking and he looked completely
depressed and I had such a strong impression to talk to him, but I sadly ignored it and
as I turned around, he called us over and we had one of the most spiritual
contacts I have had on my mission. He was shaking and to the point of crying
and told us what has been going on in his life. His wife left him and he has
been suffering without his family and he told us that the beer is not strong
enough for this pain. We testified of
the healing power of the atonement and we will visit him this week. I was so
sad that I ignored the spirit and it had me down for a few days that I didn’t.
We need to follow the promptings of the Spirit always! The Lord is preparing
people, and all we have to do is magnify our calling as missionaries and be
diligent and we will find them!
Love,
Elder Waidmann
