Becoming a Missionary

My beloved brethren, you and I, today and always, are to bless all peoples in all the nations of the earth. You and I, today and always, are to bear witness of Jesus Christ and declare the message of the Restoration. You and I, today and always, are to invite all to receive the ordinances of salvation. Proclaiming the gospel is not a part-time priesthood obligation. It is not simply an activity in which we engage for a limited time or an assignment we must complete as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Rather, missionary work is a manifestation of our spiritual identity and heritage. We were foreordained in the premortal existence and born into mortality to fulfill the covenant and promise God made to Abraham. We are here upon the earth at this time to magnify the priesthood and to preach the gospel. That is who we are, and that is why we are here--today and always.

New Companion in Corona

Hey everybody! Guess what? This week was transfer week and I'm staying in Corona but, I'm getting a new companion :) yay! This week for me and Reimann was a little difficult and I know that the Lord knows my desires and so he blessed me with a new companion. Hopefully he is ready to work hard because I am pumped to do some work here in Corona. Not that I wasn't before but, I am just all fired up for some reason. I can feel the difference when people pray for me and this week there must have been a few more than normal because I just have this burning desire to work extra hard! My new companion is Elder FLY! I heard he has been out for a bit, like 22 months or so and I'm going to be "killing him", meaning that I will be his last companion before he goes home.  Crazy! I'm so stoked to meet him hopefully we get along. I can't believe I'm taking over the area of two wards and stuff so soon. One transfer and bam!  I'm here with a brand-new companion (meaning he hasn't served here before) Anyway, all is well!
Well I love you! :) Have a good week!
Love Elder McNew
