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

05/07

Hey what’s up?

 Hello and good afternoon, I am doing great! Back here in Yucaipa is awesome! I’m serving in the Yucaipa 4th ward, which is just to the east of the ward I was in before. My new companion Elder Kava is awesome! He is Tongan and part Mexican, and he is way chill and he likes to work hard!

This week was okay because we are still getting used to the area. We talked to 209 people and taught 14 lessons. That’s not bad. We will be doing much better this next week though! :) I’m stoked because my companion is ready and so willing to do work and to be obedient. I am excited about that! :)

 Love you!

Have a great week and so will I.

 Love, Elder McNew
