Another week of great missionary work!

Good morning(California time)!
 So this week was another good week! On Monday we had 2 noche de hogars! We did a great activity with cups and string and talked about the Holy Ghost. Also, they fed us 2 dinners so I was one full missionary!! What was funny is that the noche de hogars were planned that day while we were out and about doing our preparation activities! Then on Tuesday we were knocking on doors and we had some lessons and it was a pretty normal day. Wednesday was the weird day we rode on bikes because it is a really good method to find people and it's good exercise!! We had lunch at a members house it was yummy! I don't know what it's called but pretty much you can guarantee there were some beans and tortillas!! So what made this day weird is we tracted into this guy who talked about how apparently there is an old hymn in our hymnbook that talks about bringing in the sheep. He didn't want to do that (be brought into the church) but he wanted to teach us about history it was interesting.  Oh we aren't teaching Reuben anymore he said he just wanted to learn and he didn't want to read the Book of Mormon or anything else. So we said we'd come back if he would read the Book of Mormon. That's how it goes sometimes unfortunately. Thursday we had district meeting and went to Applebees after with our district. Since it was the end of the transfer and some elders could be moving it ended up being our whole zone! One elder was finishing his mission so there were 14 of us!  We then talked to the kids in Marta and Francisco's family and they had a TON of questions! We answered them all and they agreed to read the Book of Mormon so now we will be teaching their whole family! We then had a bunch of appointments cancel but we were at the church when everything fell through.  We went to announce our noche de hogar we are having tonight at mutual and the Stake President of our stake was there. He gave us an assignment to go and find this member's daughters family to start teaching that family so we did that right away! Friday was biking and weekly planning. Nothing really happened except that we contacted a bunch of people but none of them really were too interested.  Saturday we played soccer and got some less actives to go we were trying to invite investigators but we couldn't get a hold of them.  We also had free pizza because it took like an hour to make! We then had some appointments and rounded up people to go to church.  Sunday we had church and then studied. We also went to a referral and the couple wants to read the Book of Mormon to find out if it's true it was exciting!!! Well that's all for this week I love you all!!!
Love, Elder Reisner
