Que onda fam ??? Soy
el Mejorrrrrrr
We had a really great
week! We brought 8 people to church and we have some that are progressing
really great. We found a family last Sunday working with the ward list. The
mother of the family was baptized about 10 years ago but went inactive shortly
after and started going to a Christian church. My companion and I visited them
last Sunday night and washed all of their dishes from Christmas and the New Years
and explained some things about the church as we showed love for them! It was
great to have the four of them in church. It is really funny because the
grandma like high key has a crush on me, so she was super excited when I showed
up to push her wheelchair to church hhaah!
We also had a youth
that we are teaching come once again too. Her name is Ximena, and this is her
third time coming, she is really animated with her fecha for this week. We had
a great lesson with her last Friday with her friend from Fundadores Christian,
and another member from the Aurora named Billy. It was awesome, everyone
brought a super strong Spirit. This week we have some lessons planned with some
YSA in the ward and we are planning the baptism too so that there will be some
good ward support.
After we brought that
first family to church we went running 6 blocks up the street for another
family, however, they didn’t end up coming this week. We found them on Saturday
and they are really cool. I had a really strong prompting to ask a lady if she
was a member and she told me that her mom got baptized about two years ago in Veracruz
and she is really interested.
Shortly after we left
on Sunday, we had a family of four walk in that we have been teaching! It was
great to see them there! We were really direct with them on Saturday. I read
Mosiah 2:9 and explained why King Benjamin was talking and also a little about
what he taught his people. Then I read Mosiah 6:1-2 and explained how everyone
made covenants with the Lord except for the young kids. I explained how they
need to teach their kids the things that King Benjamin taught and how they need
to set the example. Then I explained the difference between the truth, and
beliefs, and traditions and I explained some things about baptism. Then we read
Mosiah 26:1-4 and explained what happened that the people that were kids when King
Benjamin gave his talk and how they needed to teach their kids and help them
make covenants now because there kids are 9 and 11 and if they wait a couple of
months or years their kids could be like those kids that didn’t want to be
baptized because they didn’t want to understand what King Benjamin taught and
they did not want to be baptized. They I told the dad that he was responsible
to teach his kids and I also explained that he is an agent and not an object so
if he really wanted to help his family, he would be able to do it! It was so
great to see them in church!!
I did a really
interesting interview this week. The guy that I interviewed was like super
excited to meet me because he thought I was like some really especially upper level
Elder or something because I would be the one interviewing him. When I got to
his house he ran out and gave me a big hug and then we went into the room where
I did the interview and he put his both hands out and was like please sit on
the throne my great friend. Then I sat down, and he hugged me and started to
tell me his conversion story, so we hugged for a bit haha probs like 15 mins
haha and then I was like okay fam we gonna start with a prayer. Then I sat down,
and he kneeled down in front of me and like put his head on my lap... like in
my stomach and grabbed my hands and I asked him who he wanted to pray, and he
was like please do me the honor and pray. After that the interview went great,
then when I asked him if he wanted Elder Lopez or Elder Garcia to baptize him
or a member he was like- ¨what about you¨and I was like…¨what about me¨and he
was like please baptize me haha. Then I was like hmmm, I really wanna dunk you
but I know that Elder Lopez does too and then he was like hmmm how about all
three of you enter the water with me but you dunk me... and I was like hmmm how
about I be a witness with one of the other Elders and then the Elders can dunk
you and then he was like no I want you to dunk me and Elder Lopez and Elder
Garcia to be the witnesses haha. Then I talked with Elder Lopez and he really
wanted to dunk him haha so then we talked with the guy and I was like fam… I
will give a talk at your baptism and he was like alright that would be amazing.
and I will humbly say that it was the best baptism talk I have heard... just
being humble.
Haha so many more
things that I want to say lol, but I am out of time...
Much love,
Elder Ceb
