Feliz lunes a todos!! Hope everyone had an awesome week filled with joy and that you each were able to feel of God's love for you personally!! Another great week out here in Boulevard! The miracles just keep coming haha!
This week I was able to go on a couple of exchanges, one on
Tuesday in Popular with my dawg Elder Miller, and the other, in our area - with one
of our APs, Elder Summers! It was awesome to see how much Elder Miller has grown
since I first did an exchange with him at the start of his mission - like 5
months ago. He taught me a ton about being more loving and to just be confident in
all that we do! Super fun to go back to Popular again, that area will always be
my home! Then, I learned a ton from Elder Summers in our exchange as well!
He's such a great missionary. I love how he never gets stressed or too
caught up about the little things. He's always just calm and relaxed and his
example of trust in the Lord's plan is super inspiring! Definitely an awesome
week of exchanges!
As I've focused on being more diligent in recognizing the
miracles the Lord has given us, it's been awesome to see just how many there truly are around us every single day! This week we were able to find more
people who are ready for the gospel, than I think I ever have in my mission
before! This didn't magically happen because of anything Elder Hunter and I
did, but rather because God is able to use us as instruments in His hands! As
we've made a more diligent effort to look for and recognize miracles, we've
been blessed to see more and help others come unto the Savior! If you're ever
having a hard time seeing the good around you, pray for strength and help to
see the miracles the Lord is blessing you with, I promise your eyes will be
opened!
We had interviews with President this week, which was super
special as always! I always learn a ton from him and just feel so spiritually
refreshed haha! This time he shared the scripture Helaman 3:35 with me, which
talks about how the righteous purified their hearts through their faith and diligence to the Savior! He shared with me how as we come to truly seek to do
the Lord's will and cheerfully submit to His plan in all things, that is when
we're truly able to become instruments in His hands and work miracles in the
lives of others! So, I want to invite you all to do just that! Seek to align
your will completely with the Lord's and I promise with time, your heart will
truly be sanctified and purified!
And now for the title of this letter; Saturday night I think we had the greatest lesson of my entire mission haha! During interviews Saturday morning, President asked us if we had any lessons that night, where he could come with us. We decided to bring him to a lesson we had planned with an inactive sister, who's husband wasn't a member. The Spirit was so strong in the lesson, and the couple just kept sharing their desires to have a better marriage and stronger family with their 2 little daughters. We were able to testify about the atonement of Jesus Christ, the possibility and reality of eternal families, and how covenants bind us together as families and with God! The Spirit was so strong. It was an amazing experience getting to teach with President Webb! We were able to put the husband, Daniel on date for baptism in the middle of October and they came to church the next day and loved it!! Definitely an experience I will never forget!
Love you all and hope it's another great week!
Love, Elder McDonald
Word of the Week: Chócalas!
(Fist Bump!) We've had 2 times now this transfer where Elder
Hunter has gone to give someone a fist bump, they haven't been looking, and so
he tells em "Chócalas!" But they still don't do it 💀😂 people are
ruthless out here lol!
Invitation of the Month: PREACH MY GOSPEL!! I love how Preach My Gospel is filled with invitations to act, followed by promised blessings! Pick a few invitations to do this week and I promise you will be blessed!!
