The Atonement will empower and uplift you each and every day, but it is conditional on our willingness to repent and come unto Christ each and every day. "let the justice of God, and his mercy, and his long-suffering have full sway in your heart" and choose to be empowered!!

Aussie Power!!! - Newcastle

Gooooood morning
This week was exciting!
This week I said goodbye to my man Elder Dawe and it's super weird not having him around. We were together for a crazy long time and saw a lot of miracles together. He will be missed.
But! I got a new companion and his name is Elder Nathan and crikey he has the nicest Australian accent you've ever heard. He's a beast and we are puttin in work! It's gonna be a great transfer.

We got the chance to take 5 of our Recent Converts to the temple on Saturday and it was absolutely wonderful. I'm grateful to watch some of my best friends progress in the gospel!

Fun fact: I'm driving all the time now which is terrifying. Elder Nathan and I have made a little jingle we sing every time we almost get T-boned haha these British roads are as confusing as they get. Its like every time theyre not sure what to do they just throw a massive roundabout in the street. And let me tell ya, I don't understand roundabouts.

There's a scripture in 1 Peter 5:5:
"...be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble."
Go to God with sincerity and Humility! Be willing to try, be willing to learn, and be willing to act! The Lord will bless you with love inspired correction and bless you a whole bunch as you seek to place your agency in his hands.

Much love from Newcastle.. "the land down under" Lyme ;)
Hurrah for Israel!!

Book of Mormon Musical Takeover - Newcastle

Heyo Loves!

This week was so great.

Here are the SCTOP10 for the week

1.Our friend Lily Ann got baptised!! Such a fantastic day. She is in a part member family we've been working with for a while now and she has been wonderful to teach. She has so much joy in her!

2. The Book of Mormon Musical came to Manchester and so the Zone Leaders went up to Manchester for 2 days to do Street Displays at 10:30PM as people were coming out of the show! A majority of the people just laughed at us or said something along the lines of "Run! Run! It's the real Mormons!" Haha it was a good time. But! There were a few people we found who were SO good I was blown away. The musical sparked their interest just enough to meet with us again!

3. We have had ice cream every single day this week

4. Went on a super fun last exchange w Elder Bellassai! Going to miss the Italian Stallion...

5. TRANSFERS: staying in Newcastle for another and getting Elder Nathan! We are going to put in so much work this transfer, I am hyped.

And that's all I have time for!

I love the Lord! I love my mission! And I'm trying my very hardest to love the crazy amounts of rain we get but seriously it's been forever since we had a nice sunny day and my clothes can't dry fast enough to keep up with it haha

Be Brave for Jesus!

Much love

Elder McConkie
