Tough goodbyes to President and Sister Cahoon

Que tranza??  This week went great! We said are last goodbyes to President and Sister Cahoon and so that was really hard. We had a Conference here in Piedras and the elders from the Acuña zone came and joined us. It´s crazy to think that he leaves on Thursday. I was privileged with the opportunity to conduct the program for his last conference. As I sat on the stand and pondered before the Conference started King Benjamin’s last talk came to my mind. I thought of how he gathered all of his people before he passed away so that he could help each and every one of them to make covenants with the Lord. I saw a great resemblance between that day when he gathered his people and this past week when we were gathered together with President and Sister Cahoon for the last time. King Benjamin truly gave great advice to his people and he changed generations and I knew that this conference would also change generations. President and Sister Cahoon gave us the best advice! As we started the conferences I felt that I needed to share some of King Benjamin’s words to help everyone in the zone to have a life changing experience. So, I invited everyone to open their ears so that they could hear, and their hearts so that they could understand, and their minds so that they could see the mysteries of God. Just as King Benjamin did in Mosiah 2:9 then I told President and Sister Cahoon how much we love them and it went great! As they gave their last testimonies the Spirit was so strong, it filled the whole room. As Sister Cahoon bore a powerful testimony, she looked me in the eye and said that she was doing just fine with her emotions as they arrived until I invited the Spirit to the room as we started the conference and then President Cahoon shot me a quick wink! I lowkey cried haha it was a tender moment. I'm gonna miss them. 

This week is gonna be a busy one. We have a Leadership conference with our new Mission President, President Mesas, on Thursday and then we gotta rush back to Piedras because we are going to have a big conference with three zones in Piedras on Saturday so that President Mesas can meet everyone. Then we should have a couple of baptisms and then after that I’m getting transferred to a small town called Allende for my last 6 weeks of the mish so that will be great. I’m wayyy excited! 

Much love, Elder Ceb
