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.

Transfer to Moreno Valley

10-04-11
Hello! I have some cool news :) My new companion Elder Park is a great kid! He has been on the mission for about 7 months.  He is still in his first area; this is his 5th transfer here so I'll probably lose him after this one. n I live in a pretty decent neighborhood for living in Moreno Valley.  We live in a home-share with some members of our ward.  They have a few sons and one of the boys is 18 and preparing for his mission.  Then his best friend just got baptized and they are together all of the time from what I can tell. So I live with a way cool family.  My companion is a great kid and the zone-leaders are cool too so this is going to be a great experience for me :) Alright well I think that's about all! I Love you! have a good week!

Love, Elder McNew
