Alex mail 04-01-2024: Egg Wars!!🐣

 

That's right folks you already know who was the Benito Jaurez District Champion of Egg Wars 😏. Now if you're wondering what in the world egg wars is don't worry I'll explain 😂. Basically to celebrate Easter our ZL's had the idea to bring a bunch of hard boiled eggs, make a battle arena out of towels, and then 2 people roll their egg at the others haha. Miraculously one always breaks while the other is completely fine haha 🤷. I'll attach the picture of the egg that carried me all the way and never got a single scratch! Best part was winning a pack of the Cadbury Easter chocolate eggs 😏 

But yeah that's how we celebrated Easter here haha, I hope you all had a fantastic Easter too! I loved being able to really study and focus on my Savior this week and each day I am just more and more amazed at all He truly has done for us! Elder Wahlin and I really focused on testifying of Christ's atonement and resurrection in every possible opportunity we could and we saw a lot of miracles from it! It's amazing to see how the gospel of Jesus Christ truly does apply to everyone and because of His atonement and resurrection, we truly can have hope in this life and know that death, or any trial we face, is not the end!

We had a lot of plans fall through this week due to it being the holiday week and lots and lots of people were out of town haha. However we made the best of it and didn't let it affect our focus or desire to serve and we ended up seeing a lot of miracles from it! It also seemed like this week that almost all the people we had lessons with are struggling with some kind of addiction. Kind of fitting for this week though to be able to teach and testify so much of the atonement! It's amazing to be able to help people understand there truly is a way to overcome any addiction we face and I love being able to testify of my Savior, Jesus Christ!

Also got to have interviews with President this week! So grateful to have that opportunity each transfer to just talk and get his amazing advice! Always super rejuvenating and I'm super grateful for amazing mission leaders who are great examples of our Saviors love!

We were able to have some amazing lessons with some of our most progressing friends Alejandro, Tita, and Jose this week! They were all able to come to church and Jose actually spoke in church which was so cool! He's got a really strong testimony and made our Easter sacrament meeting super spiritual! Another super big highlight was a mission-wide Zoom testimony meeting we had Sunday morning. So powerful to hear so many testify of our living Savior, and this week I've just been so grateful to be a representative of Him and to serve with such amazing disciples of Christ! That's about it for the week but I hope y'all have another great one and enjoy General Conference!! It's the bestttttt! Love y'all!

P.S. also forgot to mention last week but we got to help out with our Stake Primary activity "es genial a tener 8!" (Basically its great to be 8 in English haha) and we got to teach them all about baptism it was awesome, pictures down below!

Love, Elder McDonald (tu Mexicano favorito)

Word of the Week: Cucarachas (Cockroaches 😬 ) yeah so uhhh our house kinda got Invaded by cockroaches this week 😭. So nasty we had to kill a bunch haha but don't worry we've got all the drains covered now we're chillin 😁 

Invitation of the Month: INSPIRED QUESTIONS!! This month I'm really going to focus on taking personal, inspired questions to the Lord! We've got a great opportunity with general conference this week as well! I invite you to take 2-3 personal questions to the Lord in prayer, study, and conference thud week and I testify you will receive an answer in his time and his own way!
