This week was so crazy, I don’t even know where to start.... haha rip!
So last Sunday, Julia Santos from Esperanzas came to church with us! She had been praying about baptism, however, she still hadn´t felt her answer. She asked me to give her a blessing, and then we went into Sacrament Meeting! During the meeting, all of the talks were about baptism and she really enjoyed all of them. However, she still didn’t have her answer. So we challenged her to continue praying when she got home!
On Tuesday, I called her to follow up, and she said that she had received her answer and was ready to be baptized in the RIVER on Thursday afternoon! So Elder Sabey and I headed out to Esperanzas on Wednesday afternoon so that he could do her baptism interview. We talked with her for a little bit and then Elder Sabey proceeded to do her interview.
After the Interview, Elder Sabey told me to ask Julia how she felt during the prayer she said to finish up the interview. As I proceeded to ask her the SPIRT was so STORNG and I could honestly feel it rush through my whole body! It was soooo coool! Like on the real though, the hairs on my arms were like standing straight up and I had goosebumps, and the cool thing was that Julia and Elder Sabey had the same feeling!
On Thursday, I had the privilege to baptize Julia IN A RIVER which was so cool! She was very specific about how she wanted her baptism haha. She said she wanted to be baptized in a river, with no pictures, and only with us missionaries, her sister, and another witness! We planned a really simple service with her and it turned out great, the Spirt was so strong!!!
Friday morning, we headed off to Pideras for a quick Zone Conference with Elder Pino from the Seventy! It was way cool, he talked a lot about the importance of our calling as misisonaries! He stated that we need to focus on the things stated in our mission calls after it says where we are going and when we leave and all that good stuff. Each mission call is directly from our Heavenly Father, so I would just like to challenge all of my friends that have just gotten their calls to read their assignment again and ponder the words!
The Zone Conference was held with the other zones in Piedras Negras and Acuna, so that was dope! I got to see my mom and my dad... Elder Cruz and Elder Carreon my first two companions/trainers. I also saw my previous comp and best friend, Elder Villarauz, along with one of the Day One Saltillo boys, Elder Porter!
Saturday we had a soccer tournament at the church and it turned out way good! We had over 20 people come and play with us so that was chill!
The surgeon was crazy busy over these past two weeks. I sent a package back home on Friday since I was close to the border, so I slimmed like 15 ties really quick to send some back to some of my family and friends! I almost lost my package though when I was on the bus. The military came and checked our bus and they wanted to check my package and I may or may not have had some counterfeit stuff in there hahah It´s all good though! I gave him 500 pesos and he let it slide haha!
Oh and btw the Gainz are still good!
Much love,
Elder Ceb
