Happy
Monday everyone hope you are all having an awesome week! I hit 19 months on the
mission this past week which is wild. I'm
loving every single minute of it! Nothing better than serving the Lord and His
children 24/7 and I am so grateful for the countless miracles and growth I've
seen in myself over these past 19 months! Excited to finish strong and give my
all these last 5 months!
It
was a really awesome week as always haha! We saw a lot of miracles, found a lot
of awesome people who are excited for the gospel, and most importantly had a
ton of joy in the work! The highlight of the week was for sure Wednesday, to
start off we had Zone Conference in the morning which was super spiritual as
always! We focused a lot on giving our complete all to the Lord, being valiant
in our testimonies of the Savior, and being completely committed to His gospel
and to his work! Then after we had Mission Leadership Council, which is always
a good meeting and focused a lot on how we can help the mission and
missionaries continue to grow and help more people make and keep covenants with
God! And then we finished it off with the best part of the day, Lety's
baptism!! It was so special to be able to see how happy she was to finally make
a covenant with God. It was super
special to have a lot of the missionaries who have taught her there as well!
She's such a sweet, older lady and just a huge witness to me that it's never too late to change your life and come closer to the Savior! I know He, our Heavenly
Father, and a lot of angels were shouting for joy that special day to see a
daughter of God finally take the necessary steps on the way back home!
Got
to run a couple of exchanges with my boys. Elder Hales and Elder Bennett this
week! Elder Hales and I have been around each other for almost all our missions,
and it's always a good time when we can run it up for a day! We saw a lot of
miracles and focused a lot on teaching personally to people's needs! And then
with Elder Bennett we focused a lot on just helping share the joy and light of
the gospel with everyone! I'm so grateful for this gospel of joy and hope and
the amazing blessing to share it each day!
Alright and for the biggest miracle of the week, Claudia and Jania were able to stop smoking!! They're the family of 3 that we found a couple weeks ago and are super excited to get baptized and so ready, the only issue was that the mom and daughter were smoking 40 cigarettes a dayðŸ˜. But after talking with them, doing our best to help them out, and lots and lots of prayers after just 5-6 days they were able to go 24 hours without smoking and now have like 3 days without it! I'm telling you guys God is good haha he's just waiting to bless us with miracles if we will just turn to Him! Whatever difficulty you're trying to overcome I promise He's willing and able to help! Love you all and you got this! Have a fantastic week!
Love,
Elder McDonald
