What is gooddddd… happy December
everybody!! Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and are having a great start
to the Christmas season! Our Thanksgiving was just a pretty normal day haha,
but I did get to talk to the family for a bit which was awesome! It was also
just super good to take time to reflect on the amazing blessings I've been
given, especially this incredible opportunity to sacrifice for the Lord and
help God's children receive eternal joy through the gospel! I'm so grateful for
the blessing of serving the amazing people of Mexico every single day and being
able to feel just a sliver of the love God has for them! And now as we move
into this Christmas season, I invite you all to share that joy and gratitude,
and the blessings you've been given by lighting the world every single day! I
love the theme this year to "be the Savior's angels" and I promise
you will see Miracles as you seek to uplift and minister as He would!
This week was pretty normal, work-wise,
crazy busy as usual, with an exchange mid-week with Elder Hooley in the other
area in our ward! He's doing super good, and it was awesome to learn from him
as we sought to help everyone feel and recognize the Spirit and develop their
own desire to come closer to the Savior. It was super awesome to reflect with
him how much of a blessing it truly is to have the gift of the Holy Ghost and
the comfort knowing that we truly can and are being constantly guided by the Spirit
and our loving Heavenly Father! Seek to be worthy of the gift all of your life
and you will never be led astray!
Finally, we got to go to
Aguascalientes again this week for our monthly meeting at President's house!
Super awesome and fun to see some old companions and friends again and be so
spiritually uplifted! Also got to see my boy, Elder Hunter again, which is
always the best! He and his comp gave a training about confidence, and it was
sooo good! How we as missionaries can be more confident in ourselves, in the
Lord and in His plan, in the missionaries we serve with, and with the people
that we help come unto the Savior! I think one of Satan's biggest tactics is to
try and get us to doubt ourselves and doubt the Lord. However, we truly never
need to fear because thanks to our Savior Jesus Christ, He already overcame all
and so can we! That means we can
constantly be humbly confident in Him and trust that everything will work out
just fine! Another super special moment of the meeting was when our mission
president, President Webb talked about urgency in this work and even got a
little emotional as he realized he's only got about half a year left. He and Hermana
Webb go home right before me, so as you can imagine, the sense of urgency hit
me too haha. In that moment I felt such a strong desire to recommit to the Lord
and give him everything I’ve got for these last 7-8 months. I can't wait to see what's gonna’ happen! I
invite ya’ll to do the same, recommit to the Lord, give him your all, be urgent
always and miracles will come! Love you all and have a fantastic week!
Love, Elder McDonald
Word of the Week: Carreras (races) we got to go go-kart racing today and it was actually so fun haha, I didn't realize how much I miss driving 😂😂
Invitation of the Month: WHO IS JESUS CHRIST? This month leading up to the celebration of Christ's birth, I invite you all to study the life and ministry of the Savior and come to find out for yourself who Jesus Christ truly is! I testify it will change your life!
