Be like Amulek!

What’s goooood? 

My comp and I have been working really hard to make every member like unto Amulek! “Now is the time for members and missionaries to come together, to work together, to labor in the Lord’s vineyard to bring souls unto Him.”—President Thomas S. Monson. So, this is exactly what we have been doing! On Friday we went and work with our buddy Samuel (the Lamanite haha). He Is a teacher here in the ward and he took us to 6 of his friend’s houses! They were all really cool and it will be fun to keep on teaching them! 

We have also been working a ton with all of the recent converts. When Wilford Woodruff served his mission in England, he baptized over 1,000 people in just 8 months! Which is insane. He did so by teaching the friends of all of the recent converts! We have been doing the same!  In my last area, we baptized Jose and he brought us with 4 of his friends that all got baptized shortly after! One of my kids here in the mish (someone that I trained) is a convert and after he got baptized he brought the missionaries to teach and baptize his 5 brothers and then he brought the missionaries to his uncle’s house and they baptized 7 more and then he brought them to his other uncle’s house and they baptized 8 more there and then he baptized his friend and then he even baptized his mother! Which was over 20 baptisms in just a few weeks! I love missionary work so much; my companion truly felt the same joy that Ammon felt when my companion was a recent convert and there are so many people ready to accept this eternal message! The field is white and ready to harvest! 

Love you all! Keep on grinding, the church is true! 

Much love,
Elder Ceb

Nothing like working in the Lord's vineyard!

Que rollo con el pollo? 

This week went fantastic! There is nothing like working in the Lord’s vineyard! I had an awesome opportunity to do some great inner-changes with some people in my zone and also to do a bunch of interviews! Sometimes it is super hard to find time to do everything ha-ha, however, I always just strive to put the zone first and trust in the Lord! I have been able to do this a ton over the mish and it has been a huge testimony builder for me over these past couple of months! I often find myself leaving my area and coming back and just seeing tons and tons of miracles! I´m so glad that I have been able to have these experiences and that I have been able to see the Lord’s hand in His work daily! This week we left the area a bunch, however, we had some awesome miracles and we should baptize another 2 this week! 

Much love,

Elder Ceb

Another good week out here in Piedras Negras! 

The work is going fantastic! My comp and I are killing it together and my best friend Elder Atkin is in my ward, plus I talked to the fam yesterday!  I get to email with my boy Elder Murray every Monday, so life could never be better, love all of you! 

The mish is going by way too fast…I can´t believe it. The mish has truly been such a great experience and I know that it is just going to get better in these last 3 months! 

This week we planned a huge activity with the youth and they all brought their friends and then I got them all hyped up! 

Then on Sunday I gave a talk and it went great! Maybe I will give some details next week if I have time… haha… I’ve been really busy out here grinding.  I told my mom some more details so you all can hit her up for some more details ha-ha! 

The church is true, love you all,

Much love,

 Happy birthday to my comp Elder Villalobos!!

 Loving having my best friend Elder Atkin in my ward!

 Love serving these good people!! 

 Happy Mother's day to my mom!!

It was so good to skype my family and my awesome grandparents!!

Piedras Negras...here we go!!

It’s been a minute! But I’ve been crazy busy, we are out here grinding a ton just trying to finish strong hehe! I have been in Piedras Negras for just over a week now!   It is cooool....I can see US border from my area ha-ha so that´s cool! 

Leaving Ramos after a solid 7 month run there was definitely super hard... I lowkey cried when I said goodbye to the bishop hahah… we were super tight! I gave him a tie and then when I was saying bye to the whole bishopric...there were definitely some emotions. It was even harder to say bye to all of my converts too, so much love for them.... 

Before I left Ramos, I got to baptize my boy Helaman so that was super hype! I felt so bad leaving his family though… they were all crying :/ I definitely miss them a ton, ahhhhh leaving these wonderful people is always the hardest part of the mish! So much love for them! 

Anyways, we had a super great Zone Conf. this week! The interviews were super cool. President Cahoon is leaving soon so during my interview he just gave me tons of advice about real life and marriage and what not... which was dope and scary though, hahah!  

My new area is super cool, my boy Elder Atkin is here in the ward with me and he is the other zone leader so that is super dope! My comp is Elder Villalobos- he is from Honduras and it has been super fun to work with him so far! We have also been working with the old stake President, President Rosas! He is a G, we teach so good together ha-ha we are like Alma and Amulek hahah lowkey! 

Well, I got to go again...

Much love,

Elder Ceb

Saying Good-bye to Ramos Arizpe after 7 months

April 29, 2019

Elder Cebollero got transferred from the bottom of the mission to the top of the mission on April 29.  It was a long, stressful day of travel.  It was so hard to say goodbye to his dear friends in Ramos Arizpe.

Jose Helaman's Baptism day

 Goodbyes to my little buddies are the hardest!!! Jose Helaman is awesome!

So many good people in Ramos!!

I sure love Elder and his family!!

Jose is so cool!!! So hard to say goodbye!

Transfer Day....so hard!!

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

1-    Mia´s baptism!!!

2-     Fernando after he got the priesthood! 

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,

Elder Ceb
