Hello to my wonderful families and friends!
Another week has passed and transfers have came and the
verdict is........I'm finishing my mission here in Guaynabo!! It will be my 3rd
transfer with Elder Gonzalez! I love him and am grateful for him and that he
has to put up with me for almost 5 months of his life! This week was rough on
finding new investigators, but ones we have found earlier are starting to
progress. Recently I have read many letters from missionaries and have heard of
all their great miracles and I always just kind of laugh or sigh and wish that
could happen here in our area. And it was not util today and that my eyes have
been opened and now I realize all the miracles that have indeed happened here
in Guaynabo. We have been so blessed!
This week we taught an investigator that is named Gabriel. He
is great! We have had difficulties meeting with him, but he did came to church
this week! He even walked halfway there! He had a great time and said he
learned many new things. We visited
Joseph on Sunday and had a good visit. On Saturday we had planned to visit a
lady named Yorlenis with a member. She was there along with her sister, so we
taught them both and we invited them to church and we received the best answers I've ever got! Yorlenis said “yeah!
Vamos!” Her sister Virginia also committed to come. They both came and said
they had a wonderful experience at church. The sisters at church did a
wonderful job meeting and supporting her.
We are so grateful for these miracles. We know the Lord is in the
details.
A Dominican family, The Martes, from our ward had us over
for lunch after church. The food was
soooo good! Rice, beans, chuletas, amarillos, tostones, aguacate, and
salad. I was in heaven. Loved it. They
are a wonderful family. We have 19 new missionaries coming in tomorrow and 17
leaving… so the mission is changing more and more! We are excited and hopeful
though:) we planned for transfers for 4 hours on Saturday. It was a very sacred
experience. The Smarts are so wonderful and we do love them!
Anyways, I'm so excited that I have so much time left. It'll
be a blast. I know we do have a Heavenly Father and He does love us! I know
that because He has helped convey His love through me to His children here. I
do love them. I know Jesus Christ is the Savior and that this is His church. I
love you all. Have a wonderful week!:)
Love, Elder Waidmann
