Well, we had transfers this morning.
Marking the end of another 6 weeks here in the mission. As for me, I am
staying here in Playa del Carmen in the same area. This is my 3rd
transfer now in the area. Which is awesome because I love this area!!
And Elder Mayorga is still my companion. Its the first time here in my
mission that I've had the same companion for more than one transfer.
Nice haha.
And unfortunately I had to say goodbye to an amazing
missionary and friend. Elder Bardales finishes his mission today. He is
so awesome and such a great example to me. He was one of my zone leaders
here in Playa. He's from Peru. I don't know where but thats okay haha.
It was also his birthday, so after our district meeting we ate some
cake. Oh, and a nice picture of Elder Collins eating the cake...right
before Elder Bardales smashes his face into it haha!
It was awesome! I
don't know what Elder Collins was thinking... I guess thats how people
in Oregon eat cake haha (that's where he is from if you didn't
understand). And, he likes the Trail Blazers...of all the teams...haha. I
guess he kinda deserved to get his face smashed in a cake for being a
Trail Blazers fan haha. Go Thunder!!
This past week we got
to see the movie "Meet the Mormons". It was amazing! Everyone needs to
see it. I mean everyone!! Mormon or not, everyone needs to know about
us!! This is a great opportunity to do missionary work. To show this
movie to your friends and family and to everyone possible!! PLEASE.
Haha.
So this little girl that I recently baptized is awesome.
She goes to church every Sunday and participates in learning and living
the gospel! Some of the members of her family are less
active(specifically the father). But for her, that doesn't matter
because she's always telling her dad that he needs to get his butt to
church and its pretty funny lol. Anyways, she is teaching me a lot. That
inspite of what the people do around us, that we always have our free
agency. And we can always choose to do the right even when others may be
lost. And the best we can do to help is set an example of a true
disciple of Christ. As we do that the Lord can work miracles through our
actions and words. I testify that this is the ONLY true church on the
face of this earth. And that Jesus Christ restored it along with his
gospel through Joseph Smith. I have no doubt in my mind!! I love you all
and thanks for all your love and support. Keep sending thoughts and
prayers!!
Love,
Elder Strate
