Hello everyone, Time is flying by here in mexico, and I am preparing for the
Christmas season, this year without snow, it isn`t
the same..... but you know, the message is still the same, and I am so grateful
for the savior and what he did for me and the life that he lived. For the
experiences of this week, I will explain shortly: One thing that was just
awesome was with Lorenzo, we contacted him like 3 months ago, like my first
month here, and we have checked at his house like 56 times to find him, and he
wasn`t there, we were so close to just giving up on him, but then I had a
thought one day, it was thursday, (one of our
appointments fell through) that we needed to go visiti Lorenzo, so we went
and,.... he was there! He told us that he had been sick, but that he wants to
listen to us and hear more about the church. So, we taught him, about
authority and the Book of Mormon. And, we had the oppurtunity to give him a
blessing, and he said that he felt better, and we put another appointment, but
he wasn`t there. But still, there is hope with Lorenzo, and I learned that I
shouldn`t give up finding people, because the time that I don`t look is when
they might be there, when the Lord has prepared them to listen, and when they
need me and my companion, and the gospel, the most. We`re still working with
Lorenzo.
Another cool experience was with a less active member, she
hasn`t been to church in 4 years, and she wasn`t there Sunday.... but still,
this lesson that we had with her was so powerful, we taught about baptism and
the covenant that she had made at one time in her life. One thing that was
cool, was that we asked if we could helpe her in anyway, and she told us that we
had already helped her with everything, that she feels 1000 times better since
she started listening to us, we have an appointment with her tomorrow, and she has a grandson who is actually
reading out of the book of mormon to her each day out loud for 20 minutes as
part of his homework, but anyways, he is awesome and we are going to prepare
to teach him, he is nine years old, and I really hope that he gets baptized and
that his grandma returns to the church.
And, one more cool experience to
finish the week, we were looking in the area book for more people to teach. And
we went with an investigator who hadnpt haerf form them in one year, we found
him and he was excited to hear from us an dis progressing, he has some doubts
about the book of mormon, but we are working with him, and I`m excited. The
work is progressing here, little by little. Thanks for keeping me in your
thoughts and prayer, hasta luego, Love, Elder Limb
