Que ondaaa how was the week?
Crazy it's already the end of May I can't believe I've only got 2 months left
but I think I'm working harder than I ever have before in the mission! You
already know we're leaving it all on the track and sprinting through that
finish line haha! We had a ton happen this week it's crazy to think all of it
went down in the last 7 days haha but it's been great being so busy and having
so much work!On Tuesday we had Zone
Conference down in San Luis and it was soooo good! It was full of some lasts
haha, last Conference with President and Hermana Webb, last interview with
them, and last time seeing my boy Elder Hunter (while in the mission haha.) But
the Spirit was so strong as I was able to reflect on how amazing the last 2
years with these amazing people has been. I could write an essay about all that
I've learned from President and Hermana Webb, but I think what has always stood
out to me the most is just their pure, Christlike love for everyone they meet.
They truly have become like my second parents haha, and since the moment I've
arrived until now in the mission, they've just showed me and every single
missionary so much love and support! Both of their messages were focused on how
we continue to be disciples of Christ our entire lives and how we can
constantly expect miracles throughout our lives as we strive to follow the
Savior! Then, in my final interview it was so special to be able to get their
advice on the next big life decisions and just feel so much joy in reflecting
on all I've learned and experienced as a missionary. To finish it off, we
surprised them by singing "God Be With You, ‘Till We Meet Again" and
I don't think there was a dry-eye in the room haha. Definitely a Conference I'll never forget!
Also, in Zone Conference, the
APs talked a lot about the importance of consecrating our entire lives to the
Lord and His work during our short time as missionaries. It’s wild to think it
passed that quick, but we finished up our 40 day fast in the mission is week,
and so with those two things in mind, Elder Goodrich set out to make this week
the most consecrated week of our missions and it brought so many miracles! We
met some awesomeeee people and families, had 5 people show up to church on
Sunday, and we were able to put a good amount of people on date for baptism!
But even more miraculous than the outward results is the change that's taken
place in me as a person and as a disciple of Christ! I've seen my nature truly
change so much during these past 2 years and while I'm not perfect, I've truly
come to find the joy of forgetting myself and serving God's children! I promise
as you give your all to Him, He will make you something greater than you could
ever imagine! Have an amazing week!
Love, Elder McDonald
