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.

This week we finally had our investigator Lauren come to church for the first time. Man I give her props though because she is getting a lot of anti-Mormon stuff. Her own father threatened to kick her out of her house. Which is ridiculous! How could anyone be so against something that causes people to improve? She wasn’t even currently attending any church anyway. Satan has done a terrible job of making sense. Some people just act so childish.

 Other than that we started a new scripture study class on Thursday evenings and it has been going pretty well thus far. We have had investigators and recent converts come and it has been awesome each time. So... yeah that’s some good news!

This week for P-day we went to forest falls and went hiking. It was great and then we went to this burger place after and I had this huge burger! mmmm. kay well I don’t know what else to talk about so.

Love you have a great week!
Love, Elder McNew
