This has been a good week. Mom, you
don't have to worry any longer, I got the package! Thank you very much! I
am enjoying the treats and the socks!
Some interesting things have
happened this week.
So, almost every Sunday here, there are
tourists/members that come to church. Yesterday I met Stuart Pennington
who served in Argentina with Tyler Hansen! Cool! What a small world that
we live in...so this morning we went to eat empanadas with him and his
wife. It was great!
Oh, and something weird
happened too. So me and my companion were walking, and a guy in a
scooter came up and started talking to us. I think he was drunk and he
had just finished doing some brickwork, so he had a pickaxe with him. He
asked if we were mexicans and my companion said yes, and I did too! He
was relieved because if we weren't, he was going to hit us with his
pickaxe...then he started ranting about Donald Trump and how much he
hates him because supposedly he hates mexicans...and a lot of other
things that I can't remember haha. Good thing that I am Mexican 
the whitest that you've ever seen!
We
also had our Leadership meeting in Cancun and later our zone meeting
here on the island. Its was great. I was able to learn lots about how to
be a better missionary and to teach the doctrine of christ. Focusing
especially on the first principle, "Through Jesus Christ we can be
cleansed of sin". About the importance that Mercy and Justice play in
the gospel. Because of the commandments that God has given us, there is
justice. "Mercy cannot rob Justice". Alma 42 for more details. Man, I
love the book of Alma! Teaches us everything. Its like the book
specially written for the missionaries.
Thanks everyone for your love and support and prayers! Have a great week in the work of Salvation!
Love,
Elder Strate
