Hola Hola! Esta Iluminado! (It's Lit)... Pretty chill week here in the CCM! This last Tuesday we had a scheduled earthquake drill at 11 and then an actual earthquake around 12, so we were definitely prepared, luckily no one in the CCM was hurt.
Quick update from the surgeon lol, I’m pretty backed up right know, I’ve got like four or five ties that I need to slim for some Elders, and a pair of pants, and a sweater, and I actually might fix a dress for a Hermana lol. I fixed one tie last night and I’ll probably do a couple more tonight after I read my scriptures of course!
On a little bit more of a spiritual note, the CCM has been full of great testimony builders. My favorite part of the CCM is that the Spirit is always so strong, there is no place I’d rather be except for maybe out in the field. I can truly testify in the power of prayer, the gift of tongues, and the priesthood. Last Thursday, all of the Elders in our district had the opportunity to help give a priesthood blessing to one of the Elders in our district that was struggling. We all talked to him for about an hour and just talked about everything that was bugging him.. and then we all stood in and gave him a blessing. The Spirit was really strong. Our district has come together really strong over the past couple of weeks, we've definitely formed a brotherhood that will last a life time!
Last week I mentioned a little bit about how my comp Elder Atkin and I placed our first Book of Mormon! We ran into Tony, the guy that was working construction here at the CCM, and we followed up on our first conversation. He said that he had started reading the Book of Mormon and that it was "Muy Bien" he also said that he shared it with his hermanos and amigos! We probably won’t see him again because most of the construction around the CCM was finished early this week. Hopefully, we planted some kind of seed within his heart and he will be able to know and understand that the short message we shared with him was true, and the Book of Mormon that he was holding in his hands is the Word of God.
This week we got our Latino companions! We go on splits with them a couple times a week! Elder Florez, Elder Taylor, and I our part of a trio, and we taught Elder Florez’s teacher the other night for the first time! We gave a quick lesson on the Plan of Salvation and then after we bore our testimonies, we set a baptismal date! It was just a role play, haha but it’s always great to set up a baptismal date! We are teaching with Elder Florez again tonight. He doesn't speak much English but he has a really strong testimony and I love teaching with him!
Quick Shout-out to the homie Elder Brant haha… it’s been great having my old gym buddy here in the CCM, hitting arms with me at 5:30 before class! Ohh and btw I can bench a lot more than him these days :) haha!
Thx for all the emails, I love hearing from all of you! We are about to head off to the Mexico City temple this afternoon! So I am way excited! Hopefully my Spanish is good enough haha!
Much love,
Elder Ceb
