Talk with my family weekly!! Muy Bueno!


Que rollo? 

This week was gooood…. we have been working a ton. It is super cool that we can video chat and call the fam more often now. I got to talk to them for a little bit this morning so that was fun. I’m going to start doing some mission prep classes for my little sister McKall since she just started her papers... so that will be fun. 

My Book of Mormon study has been going really good lately. Love that boook so much! Just thought I would share a couple of scriptures that I really like. I use them a lot to teach lots of things haha so if you all read them you will know what to do....

Alma 37: 44-47
44 For behold, it is as easy to give heed to the word of Christ, which will point to you a straight course to eternal bliss, as it was for our fathers to give heed to this compass, which would point unto them a straight course to the promised land.

45 And now I say, is there not a type in this thing? For just as surely as this director did bring our fathers, by following its course, to the promised land, shall the words of Christ, if we follow their course, carry us beyond this vale of sorrow into a far better land of promise.

46 O my son, do not let us be slothful because of the easiness of the way; for so was it with our fathers; for so was it prepared for them, that if they would look they might live; even so it is with us. The way is prepared, and if we will look we may live forever.

47 And now, my son, see that ye take care of these sacred things, yea, see that ye look to God and live. Go unto this people and declare the word, and be sober. My son, farewell.

Helaman 8: 13-15
13 But, behold, ye not only deny my words, but ye also deny all the words which have been spoken by our fathers, and also the words which were spoken by this man, Moses, who had such great power given unto him, yea, the words which he hath spoken concerning the coming of the Messiah.

14 Yea, did he not bear record that the Son of God should come? And as he lifted up the brazen serpent in the wilderness, even so shall he be lifted up who should come.

15 And as many as should look upon that serpent should live, even so as many as should look upon the Son of God with faith, having a contrite spirit, might live, even unto that life which is eternal.

1 Nephi 17:41
41 And he did straiten them in the wilderness with his rod; for they hardened their hearts, even as ye have; and the Lord straitened them because of their iniquity. He sent fiery flying serpents among them; and after they were bitten he prepared a way that they might be healed; and the labor which they had to perform was to look; and because of the simpleness of the way, or the easiness of it, there were many who perished.  

Alma 33:19-21
19 Behold, he was spoken of by Moses; yea, and behold a type was raised up in the wilderness, that whosoever would look upon it might live. And many did look and live.

20 But few understood the meaning of those things, and this because of the hardness of their hearts. But there were many who were so hardened that they would not look, therefore they perished. Now the reason they would not look is because they did not believe that it would heal them.

21 O my brethren, if ye could be healed by merely casting about your eyes that ye might be healed, would ye not behold quickly, or would ye rather harden your hearts in unbelief, and be slothful, that ye would not cast about your eyes, that ye might perish?

So, this Wednesday I was going to a district meeting in Saltillo and like a good zone leader, district leader, trainer, senior companion- I brought some Costco muffins and a Costco key lime pie for the district. Then after we got on the bus I gave the stuff to my companion.  Then I went to sit down and as I put my leg up and started to slide, my pant ripped from my calf all the way up hahahha! So, then I jumped off of the bus and I ran home to change. I still made it to the meeting on time ahhaha! Good times lol gotta love some tight pants like on the real though!!

This week we held a little soccer tournament with the family that we baptized from Monterrey and with some other investigators too! It was great, the bishop was watching us during mutual and he had a look of amazement on his eyes because of how many people we had there…haha! 

Much love,
Elder Cebollero

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...
