Nothing better than a Thanksgiving feast and baptisms


This week was super gooooood! We had THREE baptisms and Elder Atkin and I prepared a huge Thanksgiving feast for our district here in Ramos. 

Last Monday Elder Atkin and I went to H.E.B. and we bought a bunch of Thanksgiving American food like stuffing, gravy, corn and a few other things. Then on Thursday morning my comp and I contacted some people outside of Costco and they let us use their membership so that we could get in haha. Then once we made our way into the store, I bought a huge key lime pie and a huge pumpkin pie and a couple of other things to complete are little Thanksgiving feast in Mexico! Elder Atkin and I are the only Americans in the district, everyone had a great time though. We have some Elders and Sisters form Mexico in our district and two sisters from Peru so they all really enjoyed their first Thanksgiving. 

On Saturday we baptized Ricardo, Stacy and Meredith. I got to baptize Ricardo and Meredith and my comp baptized Stacy! It was a really great baptismal service. We found this family like 2 weeks ago when we were doing a little service on our p-day. We helped a less active family get their kids to school, and while we were there, Meredith’s mom came and talked to me and gave us their address. When we got to their house, we found out that they had recently gotten here to Ramos. Forty of them live together and they are all members, except for the ones we just baptized ha, but now they all are members. I confirmed Ricardo on Sunday and the Spirit was super strong as I confirmed him. He can´t read because he is not registered in school, however, he has progressed a lot in these past couple of weeks. As I blessed him, I felt a really strong prompting to tell him that he would be able to read, and I thought that was really cool! 

After the baptisms we got right to work, and we were able to find 14 new investigators and set a couple baptism dates for next week! Everything is going really good, I love the work. 


Much Love,  
Elder Ceb

Elder Cebollero's Homecoming

We loved hearing Elder Cebollero speak in our church about his mission and hearing his beautiful testimony.  After church, we had a taco bar...
