UNA SEMANASA

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
