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.

Tams

7-16

Hey! What’s up!

So this week went pretty well :) We had 17 lessons this week :) That’s pretty good. We helped someone move this Saturday and it took all day freaking long.  Then we barely make it to our dinner appointment. But luckily he saved us by bringing us In-n-Out from Redlands (out-side of our zone) lol it was quite tasty.

So I got some cool news this week. One of my recent converts from Yucaipa 2nd ward. (Sister Heather Allen) is going to be going through the temple for the first time this week! She is getting her endowments on Friday and I have been invited :) Hopefully everything will work out and I will be able to go! :) That will be such a wonderful experience.

 Other than that exciting news today we went on another hike and we found some wild berries, some cool looking trees and hiked around for a few miles. We took some pictures and then afterwards we went to Tams! The local food place. It’s a hit amongst the missionaries. I got to see 3 of my past companions today from the Redlands zone too! Elders Park, Spencer, and Schenk. So, that was good! :) ha ha Well that’s about all that I have to say!

 I love you all!

Love, Elder McNew
