Hola Loved OnesWe had a super good week. I found out my new companion today. He is Elder Gardner. He will be coming and Elder Gunnell will be headed home this Wednesday. I'm excited to work with Elder Gardner, and Elder Gunnell will be missed for sure. Another change happening this Wednesday is that President Bell is finishing and going home as well. Prez Bell saw something in me I didn't see in myself and helped me become someone I didn't think I could become. Because he showed charity when I needed charity, he chastened when I needed to be chastened, and he always turned me to the Saviors Atonement. He has made a huge impact on me and I'm eternally grateful for him. But the new mission president is called of God and I, as well as the mission, are excited to embrace the change! The new President will be my mission president for these last two months of my mission. I'm way stoked to finish out my mission super strong and baptize like crazy as an expression of my love for God and the conversion that has taken place in myself these last two years. I love you all and hope you have a great week! Love, Elder McGeezy:)

Hola Loved Ones,

Incredible Week! So many flippin miracles. Let's start with my favorite. Lynda was baptized on Saturday! Like I talked about last week she has changed SO MUCH and has overcome SO MUCH to get to this point. It was a really good baptism service. President and Sister Bell made an appearance at it, which was super cool! That was the first time they've ever come to one of my baptisms so I enjoyed them being there. Another awesome miracle was when a member of the ward sparked a conversation with someone outside a restaurant and referred him to us. This guy the member had referred us to was a nonmember who just came from Utah, and had gone to church several times out there and was looking for some missionaries because he wants to get baptized. What!?! So yeah, he came to church yesterday and we're stoked to work with him. Miracles have not ceased! But before I wrap this email up I want to bare testimony that  I am incredibly converted to the Doctrine of Christ, I testify that those principles (Faith, Repentance, Baptism, Gift of the Holy Ghost, and Endure to the End) have so much depth and are the key to a happy and meaningful life now, and to progression and joy in eternity. There is a quote by Elder Uchtdorf that states, "Exaltation is the Goal, Discipleship is the Journey". Let us all keep an eternal perspective during this mortal probation and let us settle our discipleship a little more each day because of that. I know God lives and I know this church is his Kingdom upon the earth preparatory to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. I love you all and hope you have a marvelous week! :) -Elder McGee

Hey Family and Friends!This week was good. There was a lot of good things that happened, and a lot of good things coming up this week as well. Lynda was at church yesterday and after church we had a super good lesson with her in the home of a family from the ward. It was awesome. She is super solid for this Saturday. LeAnn and David (they were married and she was baptized a couple weeks a ago now) actually live with Lynda right now. When we first met Lynda, which was at her house but was to teach LeAnn, she told us she was Agnostic believe it or not. But she would always listen in to the lessons we had with LeAnn and David, and we had a feeling she would come around. It's awesome it happened this soon. But yeah, super exciting stuff. I testify that Faith can be gained even if you can no more than desire to believe and then go from there. I also know that the work of the Lord is hastening in these Latter Days. Love Ya'll and hope ya have a great week!:)-Elder McGeezy
