I
love General Rodriguez. It can be painful riding against freezing wind,
but it's all worth it to be able to find such great people to talk to. This Saturday, Miguel is going to get baptised, who is the smartest kid ever. He's super excited. Then next Saturday
Emanuel is going to get baptised, who is super special. He's sixteen,
and has really grown a lot from receiving the Gospel. The Lord has
worked well with him, and I'm grateful to have been able to get to know
him, and I'm incredibly excited to see him enter in to the waters of
baptism. Pray for him and Miguel!
I'm grateful
for the many blessings I've received from my Heavenly Father, and I'm
grateful to see that He has blessed my family as well for my service. I
often wonder at the Lord's greatness and kindness in blessing us even
when what we do to receive those blessings could never repay Him for all
He has given us in our lives.
"And now, in the first place, he hath created you, and granted unto you your lives, for which ye are indebted unto him.
And
secondly, he doth require that ye should do as he hath commanded you;
for which if ye do, he doth immediately bless you; and therefore he hath
paid you. And ye are still indebted unto him, and are, and will be,
forever and ever; therefore, of what have ye to boast?" (Mosiah 2:23 and 24)
Always
count your blessings and never try to believe we deserve more than we
have! After all we can do, it is only by Christ's redeeming, amazing
grace that we can return to live with our loving Father in Heaven. Don't
take His grace for granted! Live to be worthy of it! I loooove all of
you with all of my heart. I'm grateful for you and your prayers and
faith.
Un abrazo,
Elder McDonald
