President called me last Satuday night to tell me that my
transfers were changed! I would no longer be staying in Playa del Carmen with
my dear buddy Elder del Toro.
And where do you think I went? Well, back to my homeland
of Cancún, of course! This time, I’m assigned as Zone Leader in Kabah Stake,
where Elder Walk and I are serving in Kukulcan Ward. President, his assistants,
and the secretaries are all in our zone.... O.o It’s a little bit of pressure,
admit, but I’M SUPER PUMPED. So ain’t nobody gonna bring us down!
We’ve been focusing on the church’s LIGHT THE WORLD
initiative. The members are very excited to participate with us, and we’re
using that positive energy to bring the Restored Gospel to as many people as
possible! I have a personal goal to share the initiative with 50 people every
day, and so far so good.
To start off the new transfer well, Elder Walk and I made
a bunch of lime pies (Elder Carson’s signature) and rallied some members to
help us share it all with the neighbors. The idea is to establish ourselves
well with those closest to us. How can we expect to find new investigators
miles away if we don’t even know the name of the guy next door?
We’re trying to infect the zone with the same enthusiasm.
Sometimes the missionaries seem to be sleeping (even while they’re walking in
the streets!), so we helped them set goals to talk with as many people as
possible. I’ve carried over some old ideas from Playa and Chetumal to help them
be more obedient, as well. We send them questions from the scriptures at
6:25am, and the first ones to answer win points towards a prize at the end of
the 6-week period!!
If you guys have more ideas, let me know! Yall are more
creative than I am!! :)
I’d just like to share with you guys my testimony. Christ
lives. HE LIVES. We would be able to see him and feel the marks in his hands if
he weren’t physically distant. He is a person, like you and me, with a body of
flesh and blood. He is my Savior and my mentor in this great work.
Remember Him this Christmas, and do your part to LIGHT
THE WORLD!
Love,
Elder Carson
