Drew mail 4-26-21: "Its the Best!"


Hi everyone! How are you? I hope you're doing great! This week was a great one, lots of great blessings and great things going on! Just a few of the experiences I wanted to share with you…

First of all, we got to watch a devotional for all of the missionaries by Elder Holland. It was absolutely incredible and I'm so grateful for living prophets and apostles we have in the world today! He talked a lot about being worthy to have the Holy Ghost with us constantly and seeking that constant companionship. It was great to hear counsel from Him and look back over the course of my mission and see each of the ways he mentioned about how the Holy Ghost helps and blesses us in God’s work. Something else that I loved was a great blessing he extended to all of us missionaries and I've already seen the fulfillment of that blessing which is incredible!

Another great thing from this week, was that we were able to get in contact with lots of great people! We received quite a few references and have started teaching the majority of them which has been a great miracle! We had a great lesson with one of the people we're working with and we really were able to testify and focus on sharing from the scriptures. It was a powerful spirit we felt and I'm so grateful for the truthfulness God has given to us!

I've been think a lot about all my experiences and things I've been learning and it was a great experience for me to be able to stop and take a step back today and ask Heavenly Father, am I doing good? Am I doing the best I can, what dost thou see from me? I felt such an incredible sense of peace, comfort, strength and love and it was a great moment to be reassured that God knows and loves me personally.

I know that each one of you can have these personal experiences with God as well as you put your love and faith in Christ and give all you've got to Him. Each one of us need to learn how to live according to God's will and be blessed by Him. We can draw closer to Him by living the Gospel of Jesus Christ and learning to love Him and all around us as well. It requires time, effort and patience, but I promise it will come! I love you all and am so grateful for you, have a great week and whatever I can do for you let me know! Prayers are headed your way 😊

 ~Love Elder McDonald
