Hola everyone, another week has passed by, this week was filled with well, with good things, I`l lgive a brief summary of the happenings of this week. WEll, I`ll start off with one experience, that happened with a less active family. Here is what happended. WE were teachi9ng them about the importance of the atonement, and they really liked the lesson, but they still didn`t feel the desire to go to church this sunday, but what happened was that the father of the family wanted to say something else important, we were about to finish, and he said to his family somethign like this: The atonement has another essential part, the sacrament, that is why we go tot church sundays" it was pretty cool, he hadn`t gone to church in like 5 months, but still knew of teh importance of teh SAcrament and the atonement, we are going to continue to work with this family.

Another experience that happened yesterday, which was also with a less active member named David, DAvid hasnt gone to church ina long time, but we are working with him, and we read the scripture in Mosiah chapter 3

7 And lo, he shall ^asuffer ^btemptations, and pain of body, ^chunger, thirst, and fatigue, even more than man can ^dsuffer, except it be unto death; for behold, ^eblood cometh from every pore, so great shall be his ^fanguish for the wickedness and the abominations of his people.

And he told us that he had had problems in the week, but that his problems haven`t even caused him a bloody nose, we all laughed when he said this, but it`s true, our problems sometimes don`t even give us a bloody nose, so when we think to complain, we have to remember that Jesus Christ our savior already suffered everything for us, I learned a lot that day.

One more thing that was pretty cool that I learned, was in SAcrament meeting, I received revelation, it was pretty cool. A member who was less active before and who had never before given a talk in SAcrament meeting was giving the talk, and I don`t remember what his theme was, but he said something that was pretty cool, that really helped me that day, he said:

"Answers to our questions come in two forms, direct revelation from God, or through experiences."

I thought about it, and he is right, sometimes we are waiting for a voice, or something like that, but another way that revelation comes is through the experiences that we have, experiences help us to learn and grow. It was a good week. I learned a lot, well, that`s all for this week, thanks for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers,

Well, this week has been pretty good, we taught like 14 lessons I think, and i got to go on divisions with another Elder, I went to work with him in his area for a day, the name of that area is Fovissste. It was pretty fun, we taught some pretty powerful lessons, and one of the experiences that was pretty awesome was that we were teaching an investigator about how she needed to pray, and at first she didnt want to do it, but, then she decided to do it, and it was powerful prayer, she was crying and knew that she was communicating with her heavenly father, she expressed some of the problems that she needs help with in her prayers, and we testified that heavenly father will help her with those problems. In the mission, that has definitely been one of my favorite things, seeing somebody pray for the first time, it just makes me think how grateful we should be for prayer, a lot of times, I know I`m guilty of this, we just say our prayers out of habit, but really, I learned that each time is special, like how it is for investigators praying for the first time, when they really understand what they are doing, they feel the spirt, and it should be the same with us, it was a cool experience Remember the power and gift of prayers

Hola everybody!! This week has been awesome, want to know why?

The answer is general conference, general conference was awesome, it was such a blessing to listen to a prophet and to hear his counsel and to listen to the apostles and the leaders of the church, I know that I learned a lot and I hope that you learned a lot too.

This week, I had an experience that strengthened my testimony in the importance of scripture mastery. I am now glad that I put to memory these scriptures, because they came to my mind in an instant and I was able to share them with an investigator to answer his questions. the investigar was someone that we contacted a week ago, and we just had the appointment with him Friday. he read the pamphlet on the restoration and had a lot of doubts about how it was possible that Joseph Smith saw god and Jesus Christ and that they were in the form of men, because he thought that they were infinitely in physical form or something like that, so I sat there listening to him, and what came to my mind was a scripture mastery scripture, Genesis 1:26-27, which basically says that God created man in his image. This helped him a little bit, but he still had some doubts, he asked how it was possible for man to see god, because he said "Noah, Abraham, and all the other prophets of the old testament never saw god, so why Joseph smith" Then, another scripture mastery came to my mind Exodus 33:11 when it says that God spoke with Moses, face to face, I explained that what happened to Moses happened to Joseph smith as well, and told himi that it was the same thing as a conversation, like the lesson we were having with him in that moment. He said that we answered his question and that he didn`t have doubts about that anymore, but......that`snot the end of the story, we kept on teaching him, and we got to the part of the book of mormon, and who would have guessed it, but we showed him another scripture mastery scripture, Moroni 10:3-5, and he loved it so much! He told us that that was something that he had never thougth of before, that he could know the truth for himself, and not just because a missionary tells him, or a preacher, or anyone else, he is so excited to learn more, we will see him this friday, unfortunately, he was unable to come to general conference, but he told us he would watch it online. And yeah, that is the story, I know that scripture mastery scriptures are inspired, study them, they will help you, I`m glad I put those scriptures to my memory, because I needed them, and the Holy Ghost helped me to remember the location of these passages of Scripture when I needed them, it was pretty cool.

The conference was the best thing ever, we had 4 investigators there with us, and they loved it, I`m really hoping that we will be able to put a baptisimal date4 with them and help them to be baptized, I`ll let you know how it goes. Things are looking good here in Reforma, time is flying by, this week, I completed 9 months in the mission! I can`t believe it, but I am working on enjoying every second of the mission, even the trials and tribulations, because I have had those, but I have learned so much and my testimony has been strengthened, I love being a missionary, I know the church is true, i know that President Thomas S Monson is a prophet of God and that he leads and guides the church today, and most importantly, I know that Jesus Christ lives, and that he is my savior, I felt a witness of this testimony in the conference, and I hope that you guys felt that as well, reread and study the conference talks, do all you can to apply these teachings, this is my testimony that I leave with you in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen

Hasta Luego, thanks for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers, it really means a lot to me, I`m thankful for each and every one of you in my life, and the example that you show me. Gracias, I hope to hear from you soon. Happy week this week :)

Hello everyone!

This week, was pretty awesome, in sacrament meeting there were 3 confirmations, I had the privelage to confirm Juanita a member of the church, it was pretty awesome!! Also, me and my new com panion are working really hard, there have been lots of miracles tha we have seen this week when we have been in the right place at the right time, to contact someone right when they were about to leave, it has been pretty awesome.

Also this week, we visited a less active member he is so excited to listen to us and to learn more about the gospel, and english(I´m teaching him english using the gospel, it´s pretty awesome) his name is RAul, and he really likes the church, it´s just a little difficult sometimes because he lives with his dad, and his dad is less active, but doesnt want to go, so it´s tough, but we´re working with him,. and he really wants to serve a mission, he is 20 years old, so we´re working with him.

I also learned what a big difference a new companion can make, me and my new companion are working together, with my other companion we didn´t really work together, we just worked seperately, together haha, but this time we are working together together, and it ismaking a big difference, the people are noticing and they are excited to listen to the word.

Also, this sunday, my companion and I had the oppurtunity to talk in Sacrament meeting, it was pretty great, I really felt the spirt preparing my talk, and some members told me it was great talk, I talked about how we can explain the feelings of the spirt to others who haven´t experienced the spirit before, and also about how sweet the gospel is, like a mango, and that we have to share it, it was a good talk, and things went pretty good.

I´m so excited for conference, and I hope that you guys are also, thanks for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers, I am ready to keep working hard, thanks , hasta luego,

Well, another week has passed by, and this week, was filled with water(three baptisms haha) it was awesome. The names of the people baptized were Juanita, with juanita, it was a miracle, she has so much faith, evern though now her exhusband isn´t going to give her money because she was baprized, she has faith that it will al lwork out, that the Lord will provide a way for her to have money and ot keep paying tithing, she is the older lady in the photo, and she is so excited to be a member of the church.

The younger lady is Karina, her twin sister was baptized a year ago, the first day when I arrived here in the area of REforma, she sent us a message to work with her, she was showing her faith, and so we worked with her, and she said that she has seen so many other missionaries but has never felt the need to be baptized like her sister, but now she does, and she was baptized, by me, it was a privelage and even though the water was cold, the spirit was warm.

The little boy is Josué, his family are all members, and he should have been baptized when he was 8, but his family was inactive, so we reactivated him, and his brother was able to baptize him, he is 9 years old. Also, this week, we saw a member less active,, his name is RAul, he hasn´t gone to church in two years, so we met with him, and after one visit, he decided to come to church, and I could see a change in his appearance, he really is ready to move forward in the gospel, he is 20 years old, and although he has to make some changes, it would be really cool if he could go on a mission.

My new companion is Elder Escamilla, I will meet him tomorrow, my companion that I have now, Elder Escobedo, will actually be going to my old area, Nativitas, so I´m excited for him, this month has gone by so fast, i can´t believe how fast it has gone by. There is a lot of work to do here in REforma, this ward has a lot of less active members, but they are our brothers and sisters, we are all children of God, so we are working with them to help them to return back to the church and participate in the blessings of the Sacrament.

And yeah, I am so excited for General conference in 2 weeks, what a grand oppurtunity and privelage it is to hear a prophet of God speak, thanks for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers, I hope everything back home is going well, I love being a missionary, and I have a lot that I have to learn and improve, but this week, is going to be great. Thanks for everything, hasta luego, until next week,

Elder Limb- a.k.a the dominator, me and my new companion are going to dominate this next transfer, look forward to some miracles in the next coming weeks, I´m ready to work, and the field is white and ready to harvest. that´s all.

One more week is in the books, this week was pretty good, I have learned a lot this week, and I am excited to progress the work in the area of REforma. This week, I will give a day by day update on how it went since the last time I wrote, starting with Tuesday

Tuesday February 26, today I had intercambios or exchanges with my district leader, we went on some visits and it was cool, because we were with a member, and we checked the first house of our appointment, and she wasn´t home, so this member told us to check another, and another, and another, and another, then we finally found someone to teach with this member, she showed me an example of dilligence, never give up, Heavenly FAther will help us to find people to share the gospel with.

WEdnesday FEbruary 27, today was the district meeting, and I learned more about working with members and stuff, and how to find new investigator sto teach, nothing very significant happend today

Thursday FEbruary 28 Today, we walked alot, but found some less active members to teach, and we visited Karina, who will be baptized MArch 17th, it was exciting to see her progress and to hear her offer her prayer, because I could feel that she is so excited to be baptized and to accept the gospel, she has rfeally changed her life, and I know that the gospel can change the lives of everyone who listens to it and applies it in their lives

Friday MArch 1, exactly one year ago, I received my mission call(feb29 2012) time has flown by, and I almost will complete 8 months in the mission.

SAturday, MArch 2, today, I had the oppurtunity to give a blessing to an investigator, who wants to be baptized, but has to get married first, she is living with her "partner" and they are not married, but he is a less active member, and they are going to be married the end of this month, it was an awesome oppurtunity to feel the power of the priesthood in action, because I could feel it when I was giving her the blessing, she had the faith to ask for one, and is excited to continue to learn more and to prepare to be baptized after she is married with her "partner"

Sunday, MArch 3, today was a greaty Sunday, our 3 investigators who will be baptized MArch 17th, were all in the church, Juanita, Karina, and Josue, they are all so excited to be baptized, and things are going great with them, it is so cool to see their progress.

Well, that is about all for this week, I am excited to keep working hard, and I hope to be able to see more miracles here in the area of REforma, thanks for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers, that is all,

hello everyone, another week, another update in the life and mission of Elder Daniel Limb. WEll, this week, some pretty significant things have happened, the Lord is accelerating the work, and has created new missions, this means that my mission will be divided to form the mexico city, mexico, chalco mission, so I might be transferred into that mission, I will let you know when I know. Also, I love my new area, it is an area called REforma, and there is a lot of work here to do,

I have my first mexican companion, and we are working hard, this week, we were able to put two baptisimal dates for 17th of MArch! ONe of the investigators is Karina, it was so cool teaching her, because she has already listened to the missionaries in the past, her sister was baptized one year ago, but she told me and my companion that after the second lesson, she felt like she had known us for a lot more time, she felt the spirit so strong, and told us the she wants to be baptized, it was a lesson where the spirit was so strong, and it is a testimony to me, that the Lord has put me and my companion(Elder Escobedo) in this area of Reforma in this moment, because the Lord is preparing people to be taught and to accept the gospel, I am so excited for March 17th!

Also, this week I had a pretty cool experience as well, my companion and I went to eat with a member, but the member wasn´t home, so we went back to our apartment to look for something to eat, when we were walking back, a lady stopped us and said that she has been looking for some spiritual strength, and that she hasn´t been able to find it in her church, so she wanted to talk to us, because she alwasy sees us passing by, it was just a matter of time until she was prepared to have the courage to talk to us, we will be working with her this coming week, I hope that she continues to have the same interest and keeps progressing to the truth.

Also, the members in the ward of REforma are pretty great, they help me to feel welcome in my new ward where I am serving, it´s different being in a new area, but I know that it is where the Lord wants me to be, so i am excited to keep working and doing what the Lord wants me to do.

Another investigator, Juanita, will also be baptized 17th of MArch, she had been praying to find the truth, and then one day, the other missionaries of another area, contacted her and passed her information to us here, and we are working with her, and she is so ready to be baptized, she has so much faith, and has told us more than once that she already knows that this is the true church, because she can feel a feeling here that she can´t feel in any other place, and I know it is true, the Lord is advancing his work, and I am grateful for the chance to be a part of it. The book of mormon is awesome, and this week, a scripture that has given me a lot of help´(and helpto my investigators and less active members) is Moroni 7:33 I invite all of you to read and ponder this scripture, the work of the lOrd, baptisms, reactivation is expedient, and it will move forward, if we have faith, we will receive the power, this is my invitation to all of you, that you increase your faith theat the Lord is preparing people with whom to share the gospel, I have seen it here in my mission and i know it is true in every part of the world, thanks for keeping my in your thoughts and prayers,, I will give another update next week of how the work is going here in REforma, thanks again, Elder Limb, signing out..... Hasta luego
