What’s
goodddd, happy Monday! Hope it's been another fantastic week for everyone! I
don't think I've ever had a hotter week on the mission hahaha, but we
absolutely grinding out here in the 105 degree heat! It's been a week full of
miracles, Rioverde is booming!
We
had intercambios with my boys Elder Dominguez and Elder Burke on Tuesday! We did a blitz in our area - meaning all 4 of
us were in our area and we grindedddd! It was so fun to run it back with my boy
Elder Burke, I've been around him and Elder Dominguez for a ton of my mission,
and it was so hype just to go out and grind with ‘em! Basically, where the
title comes in is after our lunch with the members, Elder Burke turns to us and
says "alright combined, we've gotta find 19 people who are ready for the
gospel and teach ‘em before the day is over or we're all drinking Clamato."
Clamato is basically tomato juice mixed with clam juice hahaha, so you already
know we weren't aboutta suffer through that. The whole afternoon we worked as
hard as we could, prayed a ton, and saw so many miracles! In the last hour of
the day, we ended up finding like 7 super interested people and got our goal of
19! It definitely was the most amount I've ever found in one day and it was so
cool to see God answer our prayers and lead us to those ready for His gospel!
And, avoiding the Clamato was a nice bonus, hahaha.
We
saw a ton of other miracles throughout the rest of the week! Our boy Jose Juan
who showed up to church by himself last week is now on date for May 31st! He's
so ready for the gospel haha, if he could he'd be down to get baptized tomorrow,
he can't wait to get closer to God and make a covenant with Him! Keep him in
the prayers that everything goes smoothly as he keeps preparing these next few
weeks for his baptism! We also were able to meet so many people who have just
been searching for truth! I don't think I've ever had an area where so many
people ask US where the church is, and what time our services are, haha! Even
with almost 22 months in the mission I still am so amazed at God's goodness and
work He is carrying out here with his children in Mexico! Keep looking for His
hand, praying for and being grateful for miracles, and keep trusting in His
plan! Love you all and hope it's a fantastic week!
Love,
Elder McDonald
