Transferring and Training!

What a week! So long story short we dunked another 3 people this week!!! Or in better words we were privileged to bring another 3 souls unto Christ through the waters of baptism this week! I have loved this area it has been super dope, we have been working crazy hard. I got a call last night from my boy Elder Porter #AP and I’m moving areas.... so, I’m still gonna be in Ramos, however, I’ll be on the other side of the river! I will definitely miss this side though. I have been here for about a month and a half and my comp and I have baptized 9 people, so it has been great here haha. I will also be training a new missionary so that’s Gucci! I am gonna be super busy haha because now I’m a Zone leader that is training and I’m also the district leader all at the same time ahha! 

Hmmmm where do I start? On Tuesday, we got Elder and Lupita MARRIED! It was such a cool experience. I was so privileged to be able to be a part of it! My companion and I were witnesses for the wedding! (The judge lady that married them had a $3,000 Louis Vuitton x Supreme bag so I just thought I would give her a shout out for her hype).  It has been really cool to work with this family! We found them a little while ago when Elder talked to us in the street... yes, his name is Elder.... then we started talking with them and we reactivated them along with Elder’s brother, Miguel! Lupita was super timid and lowkey Catholic when we met her, but she kept her commitments and the Spirit cleared all of her doubts! She is so converted to the gospel, and she just got baptized Saturday haha! Elder and Lupita plan on getting sealed in a year from now, and they want me to come so I’m high key trying to come back here in about a year or so!!!!

Another one of the people we baptized is named Monse! She is like 25 and we baptized her son about a month ago! We hadn’t really been teaching her much because she had tons of questions and she wasn’t keeping commitments at first. However, one night we shared this scripture in a huge FHE that we held in her parent’s house and she showed up at church the next day!!!  2 Nephi 32:7 "And now I, Nephi, cannot say more; the Spirit stoppeth mine utterance, and I am left to mourn because of the unbelief  and the wickedness, and the ignorance, and the ^bstiffneckedness of men; for they will ^cnot search ^dknowledge, nor understand great knowledge, when it is given unto them in ^eplainness, even as plain as word can be." We explained how these four things that I highlighted above keep us from being able to have the Spirit, and we explained that she will never get over her doubts or be able to progress if she can’t overcome this obstacle. Later as we kept teaching her, she kept all of her commitments and when we left her the Commandment pamphlets, she straight up just told us before the lesson that she had prayed and that she needed to be baptized! So, in the end she was baptized on Saturday! 

The other baptism was a 9-year-old kid named Hiram! He is super dope. Last week we went to Saltillo to do some interviews and we ran into some Elders, and they gave us the reference. So that same day we ran and visited him and invited him to church! He came to church and everything was going good! Then they had a bunch of family emergencies during the week and it was crazy. One night his mom called us at 12:30 and we had to go help them... and then the next morning she called us at 6 am because they had some more problems... We got everything figured out and his mom was able to talk to the bishop this Sunday! She is a member; however, they had been inactive for four years. Hiram is a super bright kid though; it was so cool to teach and baptize him! 

Love you all, hope all is well. Everyone should read that scripture I put above in the paragraph about Monse... 2 Nephi 32:7- ponder it for a bit and make some changes in the life so that the Spirit can be your constant companion. Trust me- it will help a ton! 

Much love,

Elder Ceb
