Happy 4th of July everyone! I hope you all
have a fun day and eat some watermelon and hot dogs and fries and oh man
basically all the good food for me. Oh and see some bomb fireworks too cuz who
doesn't love some fireworks?! I hope you also take a moment to reflect on what
freedoms you are thankful for J
I am so grateful to be able to live in a
country that respects religious freedom because, let’s be real if it didn't, I
wouldn't be in Pittsburgh right now. This morning in my personal study time I
reflected on how the Lord really knows what he is doing and his timing is
absolutely perfect. I have seen that especially out here on my mission. It's
never what I want but it's what I need. I know that the Lord knew that Sister
Hansen would be the perfect trainer for me to instill in me that obedience
brings blessings and to embrace my inner sass
;) . I know that out of every sister that could have trained Sister
Thorson, he chose me (still not completely sure why...) ha, ha but I do know
that she has helped me and has helped to pull me through the good and bad and
push me to be more humble and pray for challenges HA! He knew that in order to
learn the ropes quickly for being the Pitt 3rd STL and learn how to lose myself
in the work while making the most of every day, I would need Sister Roberts!
Man do I love these three so, so much. They are such perfect examples of
Christ-like love and enduring through thick and thin. Sister Taunima too! We have had a roller
coaster of a time and I'm grateful for all that she has been so patient with me
and helped me grow a lot. I am so grateful that I can testify to anyone I see
of the beliefs and knowledge that have blessed my life and brought me happiness
and peace! And hey this year's birthday already tops last year...we just be
rollin’ along enjoying life this time (pun intended) J what better way to celebrate than declaring the joy
of the gospel!
Sorry not much new other than just a
thankful email - but hey gotta throw those in every now and then! Love you so,
so much all - and am grateful for your love and support! Have an awesome week!
💕Sister McDonald
