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.

We got a Car!

It has been hot here, guess what? We got a car! It is pretty sweet! Actually, it's the oldest car in the mission.  A 2007 Toyota Corolla, but it works :) My companion has health issues and this area is huge so we got a car!

This week was pretty sweet though.  Our investigators JR and Monica are on date for baptism in September.  But, they didn't come to church this week.  Maybe you could include them in your prayers? That would be nice! We got some pretty good news this week for an investigator that has been taught for forever.  She has an interview with President Smart on Saturday and we have been going over the lessons with her again. Other than that, there is not a lot of other news that I can think of to share,

I love you all, Love Elder McNew
