Heyoooo como andannnn?? How's everybody doing, estamos felices?? I hope it's been a great week. Gotta say I'm a little bit jealous of all the
snow back home, haha, but it's all good there's no place I’d rather be than
here! It's been amazing to study the restoration of the gospel and Church of
Jesus Christ so far this year, and to see the excitement of those first church
leaders and missionaries sharing the gospel with the world. I can truly testify with the words of Oliver Cowdery
that these are "Days never to be forgotten" in the work of the Lord! I've never felt more joy, more fulfilment, or
more Christlike love in my entire life than during these 2 years as a
missionary!
It was another super busy week,
but we saw a ton of miracles! It's been wild having the whole area we've been
runnin’ all over the place trying to get to everywhere we need to be haha, but
we're starting to get a good feel for it! We had some awesome lessons with our
friends Benjamin and Mauricio who are about to get baptized! Benjamin's is scheduled
for this next Sunday, the 23rd, if all goes well. Mauricio's is scheduled for the following
Tuesday because of his work, but they're both so ready! As we taught the
commandments it was so cool to see them both just so willing to sacrifice for
the Lord! It's amazing to be able to witness people so ready to change their
lives and sacrifice whatever it takes to come closer to Christ and receive the
blessings of the gospel! Then we
finished off the week with lots of miracles, we had 7 people come to church on
Sunday! It's the best feeling ever, seeing people act on their faith and come
and see all that church has to offer! You can see the light enter into their
lives and it's so special!
On Friday we had interviews with
President which were super good. We
talked about the importance of integrity in all aspects of our lives,
especially having integrity when it comes to the covenants that we've made in
our lives! We had a great talk about what it truly means to put God's will
before our own and seek to do His will in ALL things. There were 2 questions
that he asked that really stood out to me; 1. "Are the covenants I've made
truly the most important focus in my life?" And 2. "Am I willing to
stay completely true to my covenants regardless of the consequences or what
others may think of me?" I want to invite you all to focus on these 2
questions and seek to truthfully answer them and develop that trust and
integrity with the Lord! I promise that
as you seek to do so you will be truly blessed and be guided down the path that
will bless you for eternity!
Love you all and have a fantastic
week!
Love, Elder McDonald
Word of the Week: Lárgate
(Get out of here) the white racism has been wild this week 💀😂 some dude
opened the door of what we thought was a reference, asked us "where ya
from?" In perfect English, and right as we started to answer, he yelled
"lárgate de aquí" at us and hit us with every cuss word possible
hahaha, it was hilarious.
Invitation of the Month: SHARE
THE BOOK OF MORMON!! Who can you give a copy of the Book of
Mormon to this week? Whether through the app or a physical one I want to
challenge each of you to share the fullness of the restored gospel with someone
this week through the Book of Mormon! I know it might be a little scary, haha
but I promise as you seek revelation through prayer in who needs that book,
Heavenly Father will lead you to the correct person, all you have to do is try!
