What's
goooddddd! Hope you all are doing well and have had an awesome week! It was a
great last week of the transfer here in Jesus Maria! Even though the heat
seemed to hit a whole new level this week, we kept grinding and finished off
the transfer with some amazing miracles! We had our friend Marileth's baptism
on Friday (more on that in a sec) and had 12 additional baptisms in the Zone
this last week! That set a mission record which was hype, haha but even better
is to see just how many people the Lord has prepared here in Aguascalientes for
His gospel and the constant miracles He's blessed us with these past few
months!
We
got transfer news today and it's a wild one! After 3 transfers and almost 5
months in Jesus Maria, my time here has come to an end. I'll be going to, and
most likely finishing my mission, in an area called San Felipe! I'm super
excited it's the first time this area has been opened in the history of the
mission and it's technically in the state of Guanajuato! It's right over the
boarder from San Luis, so I'll get to see my favorite state still, which is
awesome! It's a group with like 4 or 5 members but they've been having a ton of
momentum out there, so I'm hyped to just jump in and grind these last 12 weeks!
I've
absolutely loved my time these last 9 months in being able to help out and lead
a Zone of missionaries. I have learned
so much from it! I've found so much joy in helping other missionaries and
ministering to all of God's children and I've grown so much in my testimony and
conversion to the Savior! I know that we're going to see so many miracles in
San Felipe, and it's exactly where the Lord needs me to be! Wherever the Lord
has called you to serve in His kingdom, just jump all-in and He will change you
more than you can imagine!
On
Friday, we had Marileth's baptism and it was so awesome! She was super excited
to make her first covenant with God and even invited like 15 non-member friends
which was so hype! My old comp, Elder Valencia got to baptize her which was
awesome to see him and my boy Elder Horoba before he goes home! It's been so
cool to see the change in Lety and Marileth during my time here in Jesus Maria!
They've gone from being some of the most stubborn people I've met to now being
so converted to the gospel and some of my favorite converts on the mission!
They also had tacos catered, haha, so you already know we feasted that night!
Also
got to run some awesome exchanges with my boys, Elder Hales and the GOAT, Elder
Hunter! I've been around them for a ton of time now in the mission, but each
time I learn something new and am always just filled with so much joy! I'm
super grateful for the people the Lord has placed in my life throughout my time
as a missionary and I testify He truly does have a plan for each one of us!
Keep trusting in Him, keep pressing forward, and trust that all will be well!
Love y’all and have a fantastic week!
Love,
Elder McDonald
Word of the Week: Feria (Fair)
"la Feria San
Marcos" is going on right now here in Aguascalientes and supposedly it's
the 2nd largest Fair in the world. It was pretty sick but let's just say it
didn't exceed the hype haha
Invitation of the Month: SHOW GREATER LOVE! Last week of the month! How can you finish
strong by showing even more charity as the Savior would to everyone you meet?
