The Church is TRUE!

This week went really good! 

I baptized my boy Carlitos on Saturday so that is always super fun! I found him my first week here, and it is a super cool story!  We were walking to an apt. and his dad said, "hey Elders." I thought my comp knew him but as we kept walking to the apt. I asked my comp and he said he had no clue who he was.  We both felt prompted to find him, so we started asking around. We managed to find his house and his wife answered the door. She came outside and said that her husband served a mission and that she had been to church before in Veracruz. She said that she had talked with missionaries before, but she was Catholic and frankly wasn’t quite interested, however, we quickly informed her that she had never talked to Elder Cebollero and Elder Lopez and then she let us in and started to talk with her family! Her husband was super excited to talk about this mission and he was really animated that we found his house! She has been really good at keeping commitments. The other day we went to teach the Restoration and as we were committing her to pray she said that she had prayed the night before after she finished reading. She then preceded to state that she had felt an overwhelming peace and she knew that everything was true! We are planning on getting her married this week so that she can be baptized this week too! 

Oh, yah…Carlitos is her son. She had him when she was really young before she got together with Elder (yah the former missionary’s name is Elder haha… so dope). Carlitos is 8 years old so we thought he belonged to the branch, however, his mom is not a member and Elder isn’t his real dad. We didn’t even realize this until Lupita (his mom) said that he had read every pamphlet and wanted to hear the lessons! When we started to teach him, it was super cool because he remembered every little detail from every pamphlet. Such a bright kid with a sweet spirit, we are best friends! 

We baptized Carlos on Saturday night at like 10 o'clock after stake conference.  Pres. Cahoon and Sister Cahoon came to the baptism, and we had president give a quick message! My companion and I also grabbed some Carlos Jr. to celebrate which was super goood! 

We finna baptize at least 20 more before Christmas, stay tuned, the Church is true! 

Much love, 

Elder Ceb
