What a crazy week
haha...It was like insanely
busy the whole week, there was just so much stuff to do and so little time and
some cool miracles and some big changes and some hard goodbyes..... and steak
of course!!!!
So, like long story
short, on Monday Elder Atkin went off to Saltillo to train and Villalobos got transferred
to Ramos Arizpe. After p-day ended I went and visited Sebastian and Ivan to get
everything ready for their baptism and to prepare a couple things and what not.
Then on Tuesday I ran around all day visiting tons of people and what not...
you all know how that grind is. Then before I left for Saltillo on Wednesday we
had Ivan and Javier interviewed for their baptisms. Then I jumped on a bus for
9 hours rip.
When I got to Saltillo
we went to the AP's house for the night and then the next day we all met the
new Mission pres. during the Leadership Conf. His name is President Meza and he
is super cool. It was so great to meet him; it was such a tender moment when he
walked into the room with his wife by his side seeing all of us for the first
time.
After the conference
we ate some steak..... and then we got on the bus for a solid 9 hours again and
then we got to Piedras at like 3 AM and as we got off the bus the police and
all the military guys wanted to see my visa and I showed them the paper copy I
had and they kept harassing us for like 20 and I was tired so that was
funnnn.... lol
Friday morning, we got
Sebastian interviewed and then on Friday night we baptized Sebastian and Ivan.
They are cousins and they are both 13! I told you guys about them a couple
weeks ago, we found them while working with a teacher Samuel after we said a
prayer to be guided by the Spirit! It was a great baptismal service! Great
kids.
Friday night we
visited Cloudia's family and we had a really good lesson about baptism and what
not and there was a super strong Spirit but her daughter Abril and her son
Jorje weren´t sure if they wanted to be baptized yet. Their mother said an amazing
closing prayer saying how she just wants her kids to be able to live with her
in the Father’s kingdom with her. Later that night we got a phone call at like
11 from their mother and she told us that Abril decided that she wanted to be
baptized on Saturday so that was such a miracle! Her grandmother and Aunt are really
strong members of the church and they were just so happy! Cloudia shared her
testimony during the baptismal service and the Spirit filled the room. It was
very powerful and sincere.
The other baptism was
a kid named Javier, we taught him with his buddy Yarik. It was really dope,
Yarik even got to baptize Javier since Yarik is 15! I met Javier’s aunts in
Frontera when I started my mish so that was cool... small world. We threw a
Carne asada party with the ward mission leader and his family to celebrate…. it
was fun!
I'm getting transferred
in like an hour so that will be fun. I’m going to Allende and I will still be
in the same zone just a little bit away from the rest of the zone haha. I’m
really stoked though it's gonna be a blast!
Well I’m out of time…
Much love, Elder Ceb
