Dear friends and family – as the ‘SisterMcD’ blog comes to
an end, we want to take just a moment and thank you for your love and prayers,
your support and dedication to our beautiful Missionary girl. For our family it has been an amazing 18 months
of blessing and joy we simply can’t describe.
While we are ecstatic to see and wrap our arms around our Kimbee girl, we
know she will desperately miss the joys of serving as a full-time missionary of
the Lord. She has been so richly blessed
to have served with fellow companions who worked hard and loved the Lord, who
helped her to grow in so many ways, more than she could have ever done here at
home with us. She was cared for and
inspired by choice leaders, President and Sister Johnson, who helped her learn
to love and teach and serve. She was
supported, prayed for, written to and encouraged and motivated by all of you! We are amazed that the blog history had over
10,500 views throughout her mission!
It is amazingly rewarding to see the
fruits of our faith and trust in the Lord that our little girl, who would go
out with tender faith and trust, would return home an amazing woman, empowered and
prepared with a powerful testimony and spiritual experiences that will forever
help shape her life. She is returning with charity and the ability to
truly love others, with an understanding of what it means to rely fully upon
the Lord, and an ability to recognize the power and influence of the Holy Ghost,
the Scriptures, and the amazing gift of the Atonement. She has forged wonderful
friendships that have become a part of her heart which we’re sure she will
always hold dear. Most of all, she has grown stronger in love and
devotion to our Heavenly Father, His Son, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ and
its wonderful eternal plan for our families.
May God bless you all!
Thank you for your love and support!
Jeff & Julie McDonald
