Hey there everyone!
I am still in Corona! Yay! Transfers are tomorrow and Elder
Schenk is
leaving which is pretty crazy. We were only together for one
transfer
but it was a good transfer. I really learned a lot and we
did a lot of
good here, well The Lord did a lot of good here.
On Tuesday we visited with an awesome family from Ecuador.
They have two little boys who are always running around with a bunch of energy.
We have been trying to help them to come to church more often and to strengthen
their relationship with God. They came to church last Sunday and it was awesome!!
Hallelujah!
I love when people come to church! Because whenever you go
to church you feel the spirit, are uplifted and feel good. FACT! That is what I
want for everyone. Anyway, They were so happy and he shared his testimony in
Sacrament meeting which was fantastic. The
spirit there was so strong. We then watched Earthly Father, Heavenly Father the Mormon message
and
wooooo!!! That whole room was basically in tears. It was
such a
beautiful experience!
On Wednesday the senior couple the Bradfords came over to
our
apartment to put blinds in because we have bed sheets
hanging up as
drapes. Ha-ha :) She told us that is why we need women in our
lives to
make us spiffy and so that way our houses don't look
horrible.
THURSDAY WAS A DAY OF STRAIGHT MIRACLES!!!!
We visited a super awesome family. The husband is from
Colombia, There is a place in Colombia called Cali, so whenever I talk to people
from Colombia I tell them I am from there and they have a mini heart attack every
time because they get so excited, but then I say no actually CALIfornia and
they just laugh and are like of course!
Then after that we visited with this family that I met on
the street
one day. The guys name is C.
He called us and said "Hey! Do you remember
about our appointment that we have today? It is at 6 and
don't go
anywhere else to eat because we are going to give you Lomo
Saltado!" I
was soooo excited. I literally have never had that happen in
my entire
mission. It was so cool. Someone calling to confirm an appointment
with me?? It was
great! The mother, Milta the mom of the
family gave us cereal on the way out as well! Can you say MIRACLE??? I think
so! Because earlier in the week I had completely ran out of my important life
staple and was dying...okay...not really but I had no food basically and then BOOM! Tender
mercy from The Lord! I basically heard a choir singing Hallelujah!
In my
head ha-ha! We are so blessed!
On Friday we had a super sweet visit with a family from our
ward who
made us bomb Mexican food! Oh man! So good! I love Spanish
food so
much. For real. And we had a super fun spiritual thought
with them
about how we can restart every week as we take the
sacrament. The
lesson was of how as we draw something we can never do it
perfect but
every week God gives us a perfectly clean slate through the
sacrament.
God is amazing. I have never felt so guided on my mission
before. I
know he lives, loves, and guides us. He is a God of
miracles. If we
ask for them, then go out and look and work for them, they
come. Fact.
I know that to be true. I love my mission and I love this
place, these
people and God!
Love,
Elder Waidmann
