Saving a sweet soul

Que rollo con el pollo? Ramos is lit! This week was fun.  We had leadership conference, so I got to chill with the boys and I also got to get a nice carb load with some peter piper pizza! Which I used today to get some solid gainz in the Golds Gym here in Ramos!! 

Yah so this week we like lowkey had a baptism but we weren´t able to attend the baptism…lol..long story. There is this girl named Mia and her parents live here in Ramos and what not, however, her grandparents live in Saltillo. She was going to school here in Ramos, but the school was way far away and there were some problems with transport, so she transferred to a school in Saltillo.  Well long story short my boy Elder Reed started teaching her and her cousin and her cousin Alison accepted a baptismal date, but Mia did not.  Then Mia came back to Ramos for some school vacation time and we taught her a bit and then she accepted a baptismal date! We invited her to church in Ramos, but then when we found out her cousin was going to get baptized we decided that it would be better for her to be baptized with her... so we finished teaching her everything and then she went back to Saltillo and got baptized with her cousin. We wanted to try and go to her baptism; however, it was outside of our zone, so we were unable too. It´s all good though because we still played a big part in saving this sweet soul!!! 

I also had the privilege to give the priesthood to my convert Fernando!! He got baptized last week and he is really excited! Shout out to my mom for sending him the tie!!! 

Much Love,
Elder Ceb

Be direct and to the point

What a goood week in MX! We out here grinding as always!! This week Fernando got baptized so that was cooool! Last Sunday during the last session of conference he showed up asking for Elder Hanning who finished his mission like a year ago... Fernando then told us that he had come to church like 3 times, and I asked him if he had been baptized and he said "No" so then I asked him why not?  He said that he hadn’t really thought about it and then he asked when the next baptism would be. I told him that we baptize every week and that he could be baptized the next Saturday and he was lowkey about it! 

Then we went to his house last Monday and he started talking about some struggles in his life and also with like his work and family and what not, and then I read 2 Nephi

32:5  " For behold, again I say unto you that if ye will enter in by the way, and receive the Holy Ghost, it will
show unto you all things what ye should do." Then I explained that he needed the Holy Ghost and how it would help him and he accepted a baptismal date for last Saturday. Such a dope baptism…really cool guy! 

Lowkey out of time, love you all, the field is white and ready to harvest... don´t waste time just be direct and to the point... 

Much love,

Missionary life is Gucci!!

Life is Gucci!  We are out here dunking! This week we dunked Jabier and his mother Dianna. They are both really great. We were eating food about two weeks ago and I asked the sister for some references, and then she told us about an inactive member. So, we went and visited the inactive lady and she introduced us to her friend and her son! 

When we talked with Jabier the first time he was super hyped to get baptized, and so then we talked to his mother, and she was also super hyped to get baptized with him haha. It has been great to see some changes in them! Excited to see my boy Jabier pass the sacrament!!! He is 14 by the way..... 

My boy Jose, my convert that is like they hypest Deacon, is like lowkey the best missionary in Ramos and he is only 12. I went and talked to him about some of his responsibilities as a deacon and how he needs to share to gospel and what not. So, then the next day he told me that he talked to his friends and all 4 of them want to get baptized and that the older two wanted to pass the sacrament with him! There are four brothers, 8, 9, 12, and 14 years old, they all came to church along with their parents. Their parents are really great too, however, they aren´t married so they can´t be baptized yet.  However, they are supporting their kids so that they can be baptized this week! 

We went to go buy a cake at the store before our baptism on Saturday when a guy came up to us... It was cray, he was COVERED IN BLOOD LIKE ALL OVER HIS HANDS AND CHEST/BELLY....... because he works in the meat department lol ha-ha.  Anyways he asked us where the church was located and then he told us that he had been going to church for about a year but then they moved a couple of times and couldn´t find the church. He also said that his 9-year-old daughter really wanted to be baptized, however, they moved right before she got dunked. 

We then went and looked for the house of the girl that wanted to get dunked, and when she saw us she started jumping up and down and gasping and well for lack of better words she was super hyped! Then we put a video of Christ’s baptism and her mother and her both started crying.  The Spirit was super strong! She is going to be baptized this week! Such a coool experience.

So much more that I would like to say, however, no time lol!

Much love,

Still loving broccoli, flexing, and baptizing!!

Wow, I don’t think that I have ever been more tired in my whole entire life haha like rip. This week was insane, I am the only Zone leader in the Zone, and I am also District leader haha and so I did so many baptismal interviews this week.... Like on the real though, I legit did like 14 interviews this week! The Republica zone is on fire though, we are on track to beat the mission record of baptisms in a month once again, for the second month in a row, so that’s Gucci! 

This week we baptized a young kid named Luis so that was cooool! He is 9 years old. Most of his family members are members, however, his father is not so he didn’t have permission to get baptized for a while. However, his dad warmed up a bit and gave him permission and then even came to his baptism! 

We also baptized Citlaly this week! She is a pretty cooool girl! Her dad was baptized in Frontera like two years ago, where I started my mission.  We were talking a bit and we know a lot of the same people! 

I did an interview for the sisters last week, and then at the last second, the mom got mad and wouldn’t let her daughter be baptized. So, then President had me go and do an FHE with the family and it turned out really good.  The Spirit that filled the room was out of this world haha! Sooooo coooool! Then the girl even asked me to baptize her so that was fun! After the baptism her dad gave me his watch..... I tried to say no, however, he forced me to take it. What a great guy, I’m going to hook him up with a watch one of these days! ;)

Much love,

Serving in a trio

Probably like the craziest week of my mish haha. We are grinding though, you know how it is. 

My convert Jose, that I gave the priesthood to last week, passed the sacrament yesterday! He was in a full suit with a white shirt and of course a tie that the SURGEON slimmed for him!

Also, I’m in a trio now so that is HYPE, now I have 7 sons and a couple of daughters too! (Now covering both areas in Ramos)

Legit no time, until next week,

Trusting in the Spirit

Que rollo?

What a great Sunday!!! We gave two of my converts the priesthood so that was lots of fun. I gave my boy Jose the priesthood. He is 12 years old and his family has been doing really great!  They are all super active now and they fill up like two rows at church haha! I was able to confer the priesthood to him which was a super cool experience! Pablo also got the priesthood; his son gave it to him so that was a super touching experience for everyone! We are teaching Pablo´s mom right now so hopefully he will be able to baptize her soon!

We are out here trusting in the Spirit and seeing great results. Nothing better than the help of the Holy Ghost!!! I have definitely learned how to trust and rely on him over these past couple of months. Even sometimes when it is weird, haha, like one time we were walking down the street and I saw some Catholic lady dancing in front of some huge Virgen-cita that she had painted in her garage haha and after I walked by the Spirit told me to talk to her.... I thought about it for a second and kept walking and then hurried and turned back. I talked to her and she was not very interested, however, then the Spirit told me to go back a couple weeks later and it turns out that her oldest son is a member and she has a couple of younger kids that are actually really interested! 

The other day we were walking down the street and the Spirit told me that there were members that lived in one of the houses. So, I knocked the door and asked a kid if he was a member and he said no... but then he said that his older brother is, so then we put a baptismal date with the younger one that opened the door so that’s cool. 

I have been helping my kid, Elder Cruz recognize the Spirit as we teach and find. Today he felt a prompting to talk to some kids in the street and they were really cool. They like ran and got their mom and she was really interested so we will probably dunk them! 

Like on the real though, I really love being a trainer, it is so dope! I have only been with Elder Cruz for like 2 weeks, however, he is learning wayyy quick. We do little practice every day and I have him practice teaching members too and it has been helping him a lot! 

I´m not trunky or anything haha but today we took a little American p-day haha. We hit up H&M, GNC and B-dubs!  It was dope! 

Much love,

Elder Ceb
