BUEEEEEN DÍA. Man, how is every one? Things are getting colder 'round
here.. but every thing's great. This week has been pretty crazy - we've
had lots of stuff going on.
On Tuesday,
we had concilio (I don't know how to translate that word..) with the
leaders of the mission, which was really special. President Resek is
super excited, and has hit the ground running with all of his grand
ideas and love. I love the energy and great humility that he has. Then,
on Friday
we had divisions with President's assistants, which was fulfilling as
well. It was really cool to see how many miracles the Lord gives them
for their hard work. Their area is all city, and really difficult, but
the Lord has blessed them with a lot of success in miraculous ways. If
we are obedient to the commandments and we work to do what He wants us to
do, the Lord will bless us with success! And, ¡ojo! That goes for every
thing. Success with our spouse. With our children. With our job. With
our self-esteem. With our relationship with our Heavenly Father and
Jesus Christ. With the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Speaking
of that special Gift, in concilio, President and Hermana Resek spoke a
lot about how unique the Gift of the Holy Ghost is. We know that it is
given by the laying on of hands, and only by some one who holds the
proper authority, as is described in Acts 19 in the New Testament. And
as God only gives His authority to those who enter in to the covenant of
baptism and subsequently in to the Church of Christ, the incredible
Gift of the Holy Ghost is a unique blessing that is only available in
Christ's church. How grateful I am that I was able to receive that
wonderful blessing from my father twelve years ago as he confirmed me a
member of the Church of Jesus Christ and gave me the gift of the Holy
Ghost, just as Paul did two thousand years ago to that faithful
disciple. I have felt the power and infuence of the Holy Ghost many
times in my life, and with out such blessings, who knows where I'd be! I
love my Saviour, Jesus Christ. I know He lives.
Have a sweeet week every one!
Un abrazo,
Elder McDonald
