Alex mail 03-03-2025: "The Covid Miracle"

 Happy March everyone! Hope you are all having a great start to the week and the month! I can't believe February is already over time is going so quick! All good though each day we're working hard and seeing miracles, nothin’ better than that! The only bad thing about March is that the heat is back 😭, we be grindingggg in the tardes out here - lol it's just like summer again, but we love it!

Highlight of the week was for sure Mauricio's baptism! We did it on Tuesday and he's such a goat! He was a reference from the best member-family in the ward and he was so excited to make a covenant with his Heavenly Father! It's been amazing to see the gospel light enter in and change his life.  I know he's got so much good ahead of him in his future!

Alright, now for this week's title…  I never thought that I would see a miracle come from someone getting Covid haha, but that's exactly what happened this week! We were supposed to have Zone Conference on Friday, this past week, but Pres. and Hermana Webb got Covid.  Don't worry though, they're all good now haha!  But with that, Zone Conference got moved to this next week on Wednesday.  We didn't think much of it until we met with Lety this week. I think I've mentioned a little bit about her before, but she's amazing! She's a sweet older grandma who pretty much calls us her adopted kids haha.  She loves the church she's come like 15 times in the last 5 months. However, she's always been super stubborn about getting baptized, saying she wouldn't do it until May - for some reason lol. This week though, as we were talking with her, we mentioned how because of the last-minute change, Zone Conference and Mission Leadership Conference would be the next week, meaning all the missionaries who have taught her will be back here in Aguas on Wednesday. When we mentioned that, we could see the Spirit touch her heart, and her face light up as she said "Alright, I'll get baptized next Wednesday then - with everyone there!”  It was such a cool miracle and could only have been God's hand directing His work.  The odds of everyone being back were huge, due to what seemed like a random moment of sickness and the change in Lety's heart could only have been brought about by God's perfect timing! I love being a witness of God's great work and marvelous plan every day!

We saw a ton of other miracles this week with 7 of our other people on date for baptism!  It's been awesome to work with them each this week, helping them prepare to make covenants with God! It's amazing to see the willingness people have to sacrifice, learn, and change their lives in order to come unto the Savior. It's really put into perspective for me truly what I'm willing to do to follow my Savior and live His gospel! I've come to realize that as He truly becomes the biggest priority in our lives, all of our trials begin to fade into the background, and we witness His miracles constantly flow into our lives! I promise that as you continue to look unto Him in all things, He will guide you step by step and never let you fall! Have an awesome week and keep smiling, keep laughing, and keep loving as the Savior would! Nos vemos!

Love, Elder McDonald

Word of the Week: Consejeros (Counselors) Yeah, we became marriage counselors this week 💀 😂 we didn't really know what advice to give lol, but luckily the Spirit was able to do His work and now they're doing good, haha!

Invitation of the Month: PREPARE FOR THE SECOND COMING!! Alright this month leading up to general conference, I want to invite all of us to follow the prophet's most recent invitation and prepare for the Savior's return to the earth! Would you be ready if He were to come tomorrow?
