What’s good everybody happy 2025!!! Hope everyone had a great
new year and is off to a great start in all your goals and dreams this year! We
had a super awesome week in the area and in the Mission as a whole, we found
almost 700 new people to teach as a mission which is by far a mission record!
It's amazing to see that the Lord's work continues to roll forward and that He
is preparing more and more people to receive the blessings of His gospel and of
the covenant of baptism!
I got to start the week off with an exchange up in Pabellón!
It's a little pueblito about 30-45 minutes north of Aguascalientes. There are 2 sets of Elders out there who are a
part of our zone! I got to spend the day with Elder Wadsworth from Nevada, and
he's super awesome! Definitely one of the most sweet and loving people I have
ever met, I learned a ton from his example of Christlike love! We had some
really good lessons, we helped an older lady who was trying to get to the
hospital, walking by herself 😳, and we had
some fire food with a recent convert family to celebrate New Years Eve! It
brought back vibes like my Matehuala days, so you already know I was loving it!
Saturday was an awesome birthday! My comp Elder Valencia and the APs, Elder
Hunter and Elder Navarro made the day super special for me! We got some fire
chilaquiles for breakfast and then we did a quick blitz in the AP’s area to
help them find a lot of people, which went really well! I gotta run it back
with my boy Elder Hunter for a couple hours and we just had a bunch of good
laughs and saw a lot of miracles! Then for food, an awesome member took us to
eat and then drove us around the whole rest of the day, going to different
lessons with us! A lot of ‘em fell through, but we found a lot of really cool, prepared
people - by not giving up, knocking random doors, and just persevering when
plans changed! I think that is one of the biggest lessons I've learned on the
mission: a lot of times, our plans fall through, and things just don't happen as
we would have hoped. However, as we
continue to focus on the Lord and keep trying to press forward, He will direct
us to what we truly need, and all we be ok! Thanks for all the birthday wishes
this past week and for all the love and support you guys give to me. I
couldn't do it without you! Hope each one of you has an amazing 2025 and keep
smiling! Love you all!
Love, Elder McDonald

but covered in green salsa, cream, cheese, beans, eggs, and carne asada, it's
soooo good hahaha
Invitation of the Month: THE
ONGOING RESTORATION!! This week as we started studying the
restoration and Come Follow Me, I was super amazed and grateful to know that
the restoration of Christ's church continues today, and we are a big part of
it! What can you do this month to share the message of Christ's restored church
with everyone you meet?
