So, I officially hit six months this past week so that’s Hype! It's Honestly so crazy how fast time goes by. Back in the day when I was in Frontera with Elder Carreon he used to always point at the planes flying by and ask how far away I thought they were... During this time, I only had about three months in the mission, so the answer was always about 21 months away because in 21 months I would be on a plane heading back to the 801 (Utah). Anyways, I was looking at a plane flying by the other day and I realized that these next 18 months are probably going to fly by...which means I need to work even harder, so I can baptize at least 1000 people out here in Saltillo!
We had another good week here in Palau! After our District meeting on Tuesday, our DL Elder Viatorro came on divisions with us and it was hype haha! He is honestly one of my favorite Latinos lol. I love that guy haha.
Then Wednesday we went to Parroteran again which is always a good time. This week we found 18 investigators and had 6 people in church and set two more baptismal dates, however, we lost some baptismal dates though. One of our investigators, Samuel who is 14, has been reading the Book of Mormon and all of our pamphlets and he told us that he prayed, and he knew that all of it was true and that he wants to be baptized and everything! However, his parents won’t let him come to church with us. WE talked with them a couple of times and they won’t let him come to church because they go to a different Christian church every Sunday at the same time. It’s too bad that Samuel won’t be able to be baptized, however, we still have a lot of other investigators progressing so Elder Villarauz and I are still going to baptize out here in Palau.
We also had the opportunity to have a miracle this Sunday as we were fasting! We were both fasting for the investigators that we have progressing at the moment, and also for the opportunity to find more people that can be baptized within these upcoming weeks. I was also fasting that we could have our investigators come to church. Anyways, one of our investigators named Maria came to church this Sunday for the 4th time. We were talking with her last Sunday and she said her daughter was a member. But, she didn’t know her daughter’s address, so we haven't been able to visit her. However, this past Sunday her daughter and granddaughters came to church with her and after sacrament meeting her daughter came up to us (who we thought was a member) and said that she really likes our church and then she asked what she needed to do to be baptized. We set an appointment with Maria's daughter and granddaughter for this Tuesday, so we can start preparing them to be baptized. We are also going to work this week to help Maria prepare to be baptized, she lives in Ranchereas which is kind of far away from Palau, so we have only been able to teach her on Sundays after sacrament meeting. However, this week she is going to be in Palau on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday so we are going to work with her this weekend. Every Wednesday we have been working in Barotteran and we pass through Ranchereas on the way home, so we are going to try and set an appointment for this Wednesday night.
This past week we ate dinner every single night haha and a couple of the nights we ate dinner twice rip. Don’t get me wrong the food is wayyyy good and its coool and all that our investigators keep inviting us to eat with them, however, this food is definitely not good for the body lol. It's all good though…I can just pull out the book of gainz and my golds gym in a suit case and get to work! Oh, and btw we have a free gym here in Palau but it’s kind of far from the house and it doesn’t open till 8... However, I can still go lift on P-day! I Went this morning and got a solid chest and back workout and all, but my bench press just isn’t the same as it used to be, so I’ll have to start doing more pushups haha!
Oh, and the Surgeon hasn’t died or anything ha I think I’m going to do a couple of ties this next week!
much love / Elder Ceb
