Another week is in the books of the missionary life of Elder Limb, and this
week, there are some good reports that are about to come your way.
This week, we have continued to work with Carlos and his mom, and his son,
and things are going really great. One thing that Carlos has told us is that
the gospel has brought him closer to his mom, before they never really talked,
even though they live in the same house, but because of the gospel, they are
t+now talking, and Carlos is sharing the gospel with his mom who is 87 years
old, and she is accepting the teaching very well, it´s just a little bit
complicated to bring her to church because she is so old, and can´t get out of
her house very easily, but I have faith that everything will work out for the
good.
This week, my companion and I taught like 31 lessons, it was a busy week.
One of the cool experiences I had this week was when we went to the
estetica(barbershop) where we can get our hair cut for free to talk with the
member who owns the place, and we had a great lesson about the atonement and the
importance of the gospel, and my testimony was strengthened because of what she
told me. She told me that she knows missionaries are called of God because she
has been able to see my progress, how I have learned spanish so fast and how I
have learned how to teach the gospel, it was a testimony strengthener to me, I
know that I have been called of God and that I have the help of God as I am
righteous and as I am humble, thanks to Heavenly FAther, I have been able to
learn spanish fast and to learn how to teach as well. It was awesome, her
testimony was also strengthened, and she wants to go to church every week and
learn more about the gospel.
Oh yeah, this week, I experience half of a bible bash, we were walking and
there was a Christian who wanted to come and talk about why the book of mormon
wasn´t true with us, he was reading a lot of bible scriptures and saying a lot
of things, attacking the beliefs of the church, at first I wanted to show him
scriptures in the bible and bible bash back, but then I felt that I shouldn´t,
so I just bore my testimony that I know the book of mormon is true and that
Joseph Smith restored the gospel, I learned a lot, it isn´t worth our time as
missionaries to go around fighting about the bible and stuff, but rather to just
share testimony and invite others to find out for themselves, for this reason,
it was only half of a bible bash, this man wanted to bible bash with us, but I
knew it would be a waste of time for both of us, so I didn´t do it, and I am
glad I didn´t.. Then we got to teach one of my converts Rocio, she was in the
hospital for like 2 months and has now returned back to church, and I am so
glad, her testimony is still strong and it always strengthens my testimony to
see her desire to learn more about the gospel and about the church.
And this week, I have had the oppurtunity to eat plenty of mangos, mangos
are the best food on earth, they taste so good! And there are so many here in
MExico, and they are cheap, it doesn´t get better than that.Also, we had a
pretty cool experience this week with putting in practice the principles that
are found in preach my gospel, we were studying this week as a companionship how
to find new investigators, and we found that one of the things that it suggests
is that we talk with old investigators who have stopped investigating the church
for one reason or another, it also said that sometimes the reasons why
investigators stop to investigate the church is because missionaries have
changes and the new missiories don´t go to visit that person, we found this to
be true, we passed by asome old investigators and asked them why the
missionaries stopped going to visit her, and she told us that it was because the
missionaries had changes, yup, it was awesome, and now we have an appointment
with her, well that´s all for this week. Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts
and prayers. Love, Elder Daniel Limb
