5 weeks gone in the M.T.C.

Dearest family and friends-
 I have some good news and some more good news!! BJ is finally progressing!! He read all of 3rd Nephi 11 and he is going to come to church on Sunday!! Also, I have been running lately and it's getting me into shape?!  I think anyway!  Marianna who is our other investigator has a baptismal date!! Also, President Brown gave us our fireside on Sunday! He talked about how we need to have desire and follow with exact obedience.  That talk pumped me up so much I really loved it!! Even just as good was the closing Hymn.  We sang Called to Serve but it was so special.  We started it out quietly like we were approaching the battlefield and then we got louder then we stood up and belted out the chorus and it was so powerful!! Also, I have learned this week that the Book of Mormon is most definitely an important asset to missionary work and to our whole religion. This knowledge came from the fireside by the seventy who visited us! It was so neat and I learned that I need to focus my studying specifically to the investigator what do they need? how can I help them? The Book of Mormon has all the answers and specific answers to those questions.  If we can read the Book of Mormon we can come closer to Christ because it has more references to Him in the Book of Mormon than the Bible.  Also, Spanish is still coming along great!! I love learning Spanish!! It's so weird to think however, that I will be speaking it all the time! Also, what is weird to think about is I am pretty much halfway done with my MTC stay! It seems like just yesterday that I got here! If it goes like this two years will seem like nothing! Anyway, that's my report for the week!  The Church is true and the Book of Mormon is blue!!!
Love, Elder Reisner
P.S. Remember that challenge I gave you? How is that coming along?
