What's good everyone, happy Monday! Hope you guys all had a fantastic General Conference weekend! Crazy, it was my last one in the mission 😭. I've come to love General Conference so much while being a missionary! It's taught me how to receive personal revelation so much more and has strengthened my testimony of our living prophets and apostles more than anything else could! I hope you were all able to have receive revelation from your Heavenly Father as well and I invite you to act on whatever promptings you received these next 6 months!
I
loved all of the focus on joy, the gift of repentance, humility, charity,
service, and God's willingness and ability to help us endure through trials! I loved
President Nelson's talk, especially his invitation to develop our confidence
before God right now! As I thought more about that invitation, I realized that
every other message shared and everything we do in the church is done with that
end in mind! Every little thing we do to follow the Savior and His gospel,
helps us develop our confidence before our Heavenly Father and I've been a
witness of that as a missionary! Like Sister Runia testified, God doesn't need
a perfect people, he just needs a people who love him, who want to keep trying
and improving, and seek to give him their all! I testify that these are the
most important focus we can have if we truly want to be prepared, right now for
the Savior's return! Regardless of when He comes, choose to make the efforts
and sacrifice required to be completely confident before God! I promise He's
ready and willing to help in every step of that process and will never leave
our side!
Overall, it was a solid week in the work! We had exchanges with my Dawgs Elder Nielson and Elder May out in Pabellón, and it was sick! I was with Elder May and he's such a goat! Even though he doesn't have a ton of time in the mission he stepped up a ton and killed it, leading his area! We found a ton of really cool people, had a lit doctrine talk with a Christian for like 30 min (no bashing don't worry 😁) and put one of their friends on date! Later in the week, Elder Smith and I had a super cool experience, we were walking and decided to knock the door of a lady we could never get in contact with and had stopped teaching a couple weeks ago. She answered and we were able to teach her, and she came and watched Conference on Saturday! She kept saying how we were an answer to her prayers and that we're here to give her a second chance at life! I love the mission and that every day, as followers of Christ, we have the opportunity to be miracles in the lives of others, answers to their prayers, and witnesses of the goodness of God! Keep smiling, keep loving life, and keep giving our all! You got this! Love you all and have an awesome week!
Love,
Elder McDonald
