Hi everyone! I am here in Rivera and I am really thankful
for this new opportunity to learn and work. We are just outside the city
center so it is pretty different than my last area, and its pretty hot, but we
found lots of new people already and are working hard with our ward to
help strengthen the members. We have found some people who have talked
completely in Portuguese which has been fun! They understand Spanish so we talk
to them in Spanish and they respond in Portuguese which is a little difficult
to understand but I am working on it! I am amazed by being able to see that
Heavenly Father puts people in our path that we need to find, and has been
directing us each day. I am also amazed by the love I feel for these people and
this area that I don't know very well. I know that it is a blessing from
Heavenly Father, and I am so thankful to have this opportunity to see others as
He does.
I testify that Jesus Christ is mindful of every single one
of us. He wants to bless and help us, and will when we trust in Him and
act in faith. I testify that there is space for everyone in the family of our
Heavenly Father, and that it is never too late to return to Him. If you have
questions, you can go directly to Him and ask. He will answer. I testify that
the atonement of Jesus Christ is powerful enough to heal, strengthen, cleanse,
and change hearts. I know that the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
is the true church on the Earth today, and that we can receive all the
blessings Heavenly Father has in store for us as we follow the path laid by
Jesus Christ. Sé que Dios nos ama y tiene un plan. Él va a bendecirlos a medida
que pongan su confianza en él!
Much love,
~Elder McDonald
