Hey, Everything is going well here! This week was really good! We had a sweet talk by this Returned Missionary. He spoke on testimony and he covered all the bases it was really good! I hope that my homecoming talk is that good! It got me dang close to tears. I like feeling the Spirit that strong when I can cry. I think it’s a healthy thing to cry, ya know?
But other than that I have just been working hard trying to not kill my companion and to keep my district working strong! This week I also had the opportunity to go on some exchanges with some other missionaries and it was good! I love helping and learning from others. It’s a great thing. I think that's what the mission is all about; helping others come closer to Christ and then, as you do so, you automatically grow closer as well! :) Such a wonderful plan that the Lord has for us, and such a great thing to have.
I love serving the mission and I love being able to help others. Lately I have noticed that I need to work on charity being more loving to others because sometimes I have short patience with others but at the same time I have found myself being more charitable helping out other missionaries. Elder Kozub needed some shoes. His old shoes were all torn up, like they probably cost like 20 bucks. They were some Sketchers or something. And I was like, "Bro, do you have any other shoes, or like some polish or something those shoes are jacked!" And he said he didn’t have anything else. So I just gave him mine. I had two pair and one pair I didn’t wear as often just on like Sundays and Tuesdays when we have meetings so I just gave them to him. He needs them and he does have a pretty rough story. He is a convert to the Church, his mom had her record removed. His brothers that converted with him are either anti or just don’t care anymore and the only support he has on a mission is the tiny little branch where he lives in Ohio. Sorry for the big long story.
Needless to say, I am doing well and I am super happy in the service of the
Lord!
I Love you! Have a good week thanks for all of your support and love and everything you do.
Love, Elder McNew
This week was good :) Pretty busy, we had a General Authority come and talk to us today. We decided this Saturday to take out our bikes for once just to save some miles on the Corolla and it's good for contacting people on the streets. Man, I realized how much I miss bike when I actually got out and rode! It was fun. I was riding wheelies and jumping around and stuff. Elder Kozub has a hard time on the bike because remember that he came to a car area because he crashed and messed up his back. Also, this Sunday after church from 4-9 we taught lesson after lesson totaling to 5 lessons in one day which is good especially since we started teaching at 4. All in all I'm doing great :)
