General Conference with my companion

Hello Everyone!

Wow! Another awesome general conference is over… I wish it was every month because it is so wonderful!! It was kind of bittersweet…the last conference of my mission but, hey I still have a lot of time to go, pa'lante:) This week was super good! Now we have a lot less time to proselyte, and the Lord has blessed us so much! Last week a member called us and said “I have someone for you to teach!”His name is Wellington and he came to conference and liked it! He is excited to keep learning. We are also teaching a young man named Fabian. He is 16 and it is so cool to see him at such a young age to have a desire to search for God.  We are super happy for him. It has been such a privilege and blessing to work alongside President and Sister Boucher! They love and embrace their calling. We planned with them the other night for topics to teach the mission and the Spirit was so evident as we conversed about topics. Revelation was received and it was so cool and special to see how the Spirit works like that. I Love my mission and I am incredibly grateful for Jesus Christ who has helped strengthen me even though I am so weak. Love you all!

Love, Elder Waidmann

Hello Everyone,

Well now I have completed my first week here in Guaynabo! I am serving in the mission home now! I could the week as following: best/longest/craziest/plan changing week of my life. It has been a blast being with Elder Ferreira.  I am privileged to be able to work so closely with President and Sister Boucher! Every time I get to know them more, I am more grateful for them.  They are awesome!

So President calls us in on Wednesday and says “Hey we're going to St. Kitts from Saturday to Sunday” and we were like....”ok”. Haha… but we were internally stoked! We had a wonderful time and it was so cool to meet the faithful saints there. We cherished our trip even though it was very short. We stayed in a member’s home and we also worked with the señor couple missionaries that are there, The Snell’s. They are awesome. We love the saints so much that we really wanted to stay and keep working… such a great experience.

So Sunday after church we headed straight to the airport to catch our flight back to PR. Well long story short, my companion had visa problems and they wouldn't let him back into US territory.  We stayed Sunday again in St. Kitts and after a lot of re-planning/ searching we were able to get back to PR just a few hours ago. It just proves to show that after we do all we can the Lord helps us out.  It really was a miracle we got back. Love you all so much and sorry for the short email.
