What is upppp happy Monday! Hope everyone has been having a fantastic summer! I've got one full week left as a missionary and we are sprintinggg this last 100 meters. Another week full of miracles, opposition, and God's hand in Rioverde! I feel like I've experienced every emotion possible haha, but what's kept me steady through it all truly has been my Savior Jesus Christ! My Faith has been tested and strengthened every single day, and I know without a doubt Christ has been walking by our side daily. I'm so eternally grateful for these last 2 years and the conversion to my Savior that my mission has given me!
Overall,
we've been seeing some good progress with our friends and families in teaching!
It's incredible to see how while every person's situation truly is unique and
different from anyone else, the gospel perfectly applies to their needs. I
truly testify that whatever trials or obstacles we might face in this life,
Jesus Christ and his restored gospel are the answer! Please keep Celia and her
family, Delia and her family, Abi, Leticia, and Gonzalo in your prayers that
they can keep progressing in the gospel and make covenants with their Heavenly
Father soon! We're hopeful for the baptisms of Abi and Leticia this weekend
which would be such an amazing way to finish out the mission! However
regardless of the outcome I know Heavenly Father has a perfect plan for every
one of us and I'm so grateful to be part of his work!
Finally
we saw a huge miracle with our friend Florencio, this week! We found him a week
or 2 ago, and we were finally able to find him again and teach him. While
teaching about the Book of Mormon, we opened to 3rd Nephi 11 and
read Christ's first words to the people here in the ancient Americas. We talked
about how he truly invited us to come unto him one by one, and the way to do so
is through baptism. We then asked Florencio if he had that desire to be
baptized as Christ taught and make a covenant with God. He responded, "I
mean maybe it's a desire I have, but I feel like it's more like a necessity."
He then accepted a date for baptism for the beginning of August and then came
to church on Sunday! Please also keep him in your prayers, that he can continue
progressing and complete with the true necessity that baptism and covenants
are!
Love
you all, and never forget the privilege and blessing it is to truly be bound to
the Savior through our covenants! Have a great week!
Love,
Elder McDonald
Word of the Week: Poncho (poncho haha) finally got a poncho today 👀👀 you already know it's got an axolotl on it haha
Invitation of the Month: FOLLOW CHRIST!! This week in finishing up “My Plan” (goals we set for after the mission) there was a prompt about what I want the rest of my life to look like. Simply put, everything I do will be to follow my Savior Jesus Christ and keep my covenants with Him. True and Everlasting joy comes from following Christ!
