Heyooooo happy Monday
everyone hope y’all are having a great start to the week! It was another great
one down here in Aguas, and definitely a bounce back week in lots of aspects!
First of all, in the weather, after one week of colder weather we're right back
to the heat and chances are that's all the cold we'll get haha. However it was
also a great bounce back week work wise, in our area, in the district, in the
zone, and even throughout the whole mission! We again broke the mission finding
record with almost 700 people and we were able to get some really good work in
with the members and help a lot of people come to church! Super grateful to
know that the Lord is truly right by our side and regardless of the opposition
that comes our way, we can confidently trust that we'll overcome and come back
better and stronger with the Lord!
We got to do 3 exchanges this
week which was a lot - but super good! One with the APs on Tuesday, one with
Pabellón, and one with the Office Elders in Trojes! On Tuesday I was with the
goat Elder Navarro and he's such a dawg haha. We had a ton of fun together and
spent the whole day just laughing and having joy in the work and found a ton of
people! Super grateful for his example to me of complete devotion to the Lord
and His work! Fun fact, at one point some little kids started tossing little
pebbles at us haha but as soon as I hit ‘em with some English, they were too
stunned to do anything else 😂. On Wednesday I
was with Elder Alston in Pabellón, and we again saw a lot of success. But, I think my biggest takeaway was some
really good conversations we had about what makes a true, Christlike leader. I learned a lot about how I can improve! Finally
on Friday with Elder Bennett in Trojes, we focused a lot on just giving our all
and trusting in the Lord's plan, and we saw some really cool miracles! So
grateful for the opportunity to work with and learn from so many amazing
missionaries and disciples of Christ!
An amazing miracle this week was
meeting our new friend Asat! He sent us a reference and as soon as we contacted,
he was super eager to meet with us as soon as possible. Although we might've
had a little bit of doubts or fear that he was just someone crazy, with how
urgent he was, we decided to follow the Spirit and trust that God was with us
as we met him. Turns out he's an 18-year-old kid who's been so well prepared
for the gospel! He had so many perfect questions that led right into the
restoration and the blessings of Christ's restored church on the earth today!
It was amazing to see his faith and desire to follow the Savior. I can testify that our loving Heavenly Father
is preparing His children every single day to receive the message of true joy
that each one of us can and must share! Keep smiling, keep looking for the
good, and keep sharing this gospel and church of Joy! Love y’all, have a
fantastic week!
Love, Elder McDonald
Word of the Week: entrevistas
(interviews) we had interviews with Pres. this week and it was
super special as always! So grateful for his guidance and council for my life
and missionary service!
