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.

Kyle gets baptized!

8/29/11

Hey! What's up?

So, this week went pretty well! We tracted for about 8 hours, taught a few lessons, and it got up to about 110 degrees! Dang! And, we had a baptism! Kyle is now a member of the Church as of Sunday! It's so awesome and such a blessing to people! Lives change right in front of you! It's amazing to see the Lord work through you!

So, as part if my responsibilities as District Leader is to give a training every week. This week I gave a pretty sweet training that I got from Elder Proffit (my trainer) It's all about making your mission an adventure, working hard, and having fun while you serve. So that was pretty sick! I wish I could have a copy of it or something but it's all good.
I'm doing pretty well! Just working hard and trying my best to serve the Lord with all my might. It does get hard sometimes but the Lord is always there to help us. He's like a light. I found this sweet scripture earlier this week about the Jaredites and how they used a stone that the Lord touched as a light to help them through the dark times, if applied.

I love you all!
Have a good week ttyl!
Love, Elder McNew!
