Hello Everyone!
I hope that you are doing wonderful! First off… I totally
met Elder Hallstrom from the Quorum of the Seventy! It was so cool! It was a shock to see him yesterday at
the church! It was a pleasure to meet him.
Well just to let you know everything here is moving right
along! It was so cool to here about the new companionship and then to meet them
this last week! I am so happy to have Elder Bills and Elder Garcia with us.
They are awesome Elders and they are so ready and willing to work hard and to
find people to teach! They are already having some success in doing that, which
is so wonderful to see! I am happy to have them with us.
This last week was wonderful! I was so happy to see the
progression of our investigator! That man is a walking miracle! He is so
humble and so pure in heart. He is already a missionary, in the sense that he
knows the importance of preaching and teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to
others. It is so amazing to see how the Lord really does prepare His children at
the perfect me to help them accept the true and restored Gospel of Jesus
Christ on the earth today. I am so grateful and will be forevermore grateful
for this wonderful and miraculous opportunity that I have to be here to see that
hastening of the Lord's work here. It truly is so incredible!
I am so happy for our investigator! He is getting baptized
this next Sunday. He is so happy and so ready! He is such a warm man and is so
kind to others! We taught him this
week about the importance of commandments and principles that he needs to
commit to live, before he is baptized. The great thing is that he is already
living them! He tells us of how when
he reads the Book of Mormon, that he can understand things so much easier and
how he loves what he is reading. I love how he says that here, in The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is where he feels the truth. He feels good and
he feels that he is walking in the way that God wants him too. It is amazing.
I am so happy to be able to be a part of this. I am learning
so much about the Lord and how He provides miracles in these days. The Lord is
so good to us and He loves us so incredibly much. I know that to be so true.
The gospel is true. I know it, and I know that God knows it! I love you all so
much! It is so cool to see all of these great things happening here in New
York! This week has been so
wonderful! We are so happy to be here! Love you all so much!
Love,
Elder Waidmann
