Happy Mondayyyy hope everyone is doing great! It's been another awesome week and we saw so many miracles!! It was the last full week of the transfer which is wild to me I literally feel like I just got to Rioverde. 😠So, for all my "track people" out there you know that means we just hit "bell lap." I've got 6 more weeks to give my absolute all as a full time missionary and I'm going to do everything in my power to consecrate my all to the work of the Lord and to be an effective instrument in His hands! We'll get transfer news tonight, but hopefully I'll be staying here in Rioverde for my last transfer!
The mission is gonna be full of so much change over the next few weeks haha. A bunch of goats go home this week including my old comps Elder Hunter and Elder Dominguez. We also get a new mission president in like 2 weeks which is sad but exciting! It was awesome though, on Tuesday this last week, I got to run one more exchange with my dawg Elder Dominguez. It was so much fun to be with him for one last time in the field and see just how much we've grown since our time together in Industrias, at the beginning of my mission. We were in his area - in downtown San Luis and we definitely faced a lot more rejection in the "big city" hahaha, but we grinded through it and found some awesome people! Elder Dominguez has taught me a ton about hard work and fighting through adversity and has been such an amazing example to me during my mission! Super grateful I got to run it back with him one last time!
The rest of our week here in Rioverde was so awesome! We saw so much help from the Lord, for the first time in my mission we put different people on date for baptism every single day this past week! We've just been guided over and over again to those who are ready for the gospel message! Obviously it hasn't been easy and we still face lots of opposition, but it's been awesome to see the Lord continue to deliver on His promises! Two of the people we have on date are Abi and Leticia. Leticia has some pretty big struggles with depression and other health challenges, but has made the effort to come to church 2 weeks in a row now! The light that enters into her eyes when she's at church is so special! Abi also came to church a couple weeks ago and while she has a tonnnn of questions it's so cool to see the Spirit perfectly guiding us in our lessons with her and she's super excited to get baptized! I think a lesson the Lord has tried to teach me over and over again on the mission is that as we really just try our best to do His will, keep the commandments, and be diligent, obedient, and act in faith, we can confidently trust He will constantly work miracles in our lives! Trust in that promise this week and I promise, you'll see the Lord deliver! Love y'all and have a great week!
Love, Elder McDonald
Word of the Week: Miel (syrup) had a spicy syrup today with waffles, lowkey was not bad at all haha
Invitation of the Month: GATHER ISRAEL!! I love that president Nelson has repeatedly talked about how we truly have been reserved to come to the earth during these last days to gather Israel! What can you do this week to fulfill with that responsibility and privilege?
