I got transferred!! I am no longer in
Cozumel. I got transferred to Isla Mujeres!! I can officially say that I
am now an Islander because I have been on both the Islands here in the
Mission Mexico Cancun! Yay! Isla Mujeres is part of the Cancun Stake.
Cozumel goes to Playa so I am not longer in the same Stake.
Isla
Mujeres is very similar to Cozumel. Its a lot smaller and its very
narrow. There is just a small branch here, and I think I will have a
calling in the branch too. And my companion tells me that I will also be
playing the piano! Yay! My new companion is Elder Coffman and hes from
Texas! I don´t know what happens when you put two rednecks together, but
I am going to find out this transfer! He is awesome and there is a lot
of potential here in the island.
So, I am going to share with
you all an awesome story that happened to me this week about transfers.
So, about 4 days ago while I was sleeping, I had a dream. In this
dream, I was talking to President Kirkham and he told me that I was
getting transferred. So I asked him whereto? And he told me Isla
Mujeres. I couldn´t believe it and then I woke up. Then later that
morning I told Elder Vargas that I had a dream and that President was
sending me to Islan Mujeres. He was just as shocked as I was!
So, on
Sunday morning, President Kirkham called us so I answered. And he said
that I was going to be transferred. Then I asked him If I could guess
where I was going and he said ¨sure¨. I replied,¨Isla Mujeres¨. There
was a pause, and then stuttering a bit he replied to me, ¨ugh, yes. How
did you know that Elder'¨. Then I told him about my dream and that the
Lord revealed to me that I was going to be transferred there. He took
another pause, and just responded, ¨Wow¨. We talked for a little bit
after that and he explained to me how the Island is and everything. I
just have to say that in that moment, I felt something very special. It
was definitely the spirit, but this time it was different. And I don´t
have words to describe it, just amazing! I had never felt the way I did
when President confirmed that I was going to Islan Mujeres. It may not
sound like anything very interesting but for me it is. I recieved
REVELATION!! However, I still don´t know why the Lord revealed it to be
beforehand, but I guess I will find out why this transfer!
I
know that personal revelation is real. I also know that God acts
according to the faith of this children and that miracles really do
exist.
We also had Stake Conference yesterday in Playa. It
was wonderful and I got to see lots of members and converts that I know
from Playa and Tulum. Its been a year since I was in Playa so it was
good to see everyone. Also, President Kirkham talked in the meeting and
he mentioned my experience with the dream and everything! Then he told
me to stand up, and then told the story. I feel famous now haha. Now
everything thinks that I am a prophet haha! (or is it just me...?)
Needless to say, yesterday was a wonderful day.
Thats what
happened this week. Thanks everyone for all your support and love. Hope
everyone is well and healthy. Until next week!
Love,
Elder Strate
