So this past week, I got a new
companion. I think I already mentioned him but I will do it again
anyways because he's so awesome!! His name is Elder Smith, and he's only
got 3 months left in the Mission. Guess I'd better get all the
information and wisdom I can from him before he leaves!!
So
this week, our zone (Zone Playa) had a contest against another zone(Zone
Tizimin). Normally every day, each companionship has a goal to talk
with 10 people every day. But this Saturday we had a challenge. Zone
Tizimin challenged us and said that they were going to talk to 500
people as a zone Saturday. Only on Saturday. And they challenged us to
see which zone could talk to more people. We gladly accepted the
challenge!! We did the math, and every companioship in our zone had to
talk with atleast 67 people. However, this was to get 600 so that we
could beat Tizimin. Remember, this was only on Saturday. One day to talk
to so many people. And our normal daily goal is to talk to 10 people
each day. We definitely had our work cut out for us. So, being the
awesome Zone that we are, we crushed the other zone!! We talked with 647
people on Saturday as a zone. With Tizimin at a measely 453...haha.
It
was a great time and I definitely take pride in it!! Don't get me wrong,
the pride is not for me, but rather for our Heavenly Father. With his
help he enabled us to talk with so many people. And even though it was a
fun competition, we are still always on the same team. Having talked to
more than 1000 people as two zones in one day, I say that's pretty
amazing!!
This is about all I have for this week. We are still
preparing some investigators for baptism. With the help of Elder Smith
who is a veteran, we should be able to get some great work done!! Thanks
for all your love and support!! I hope that you all have a wonderful
week!!
Lots of love,
Elder Strate
