It's always sunny in San Gabriel!

Hello family and friends!
This week has been another good one but since I LOVE
missionary work I don't think there can be a 
bad week :-)Monday we taught a lesson and did some
finding. Tuesday we had a great meeting with
President Becerra! He is a great man and I am so
privileged to have him as a Mission President. He
just opens up the scriptures in ways that just make
them more meaningful and impactful!Also, he gave
us some good contacting council. When we are contacting
people in the streets and knocking on doors he said ask
them a question that gets them thinking. Even tell them
sometimes you may not be interested in our message but
what would you think if I had the answers to the things
that keep you up at night? Powerful questions that make
you think and get people interested! It was really super
great! We then used the advice and found some good
potentials that day and also worked with some members.
Wednesday we ate with members. We are trying to work with
members in our ward better and people in English wards that
speak Spanish. Then we had a tour and it was a 2 hour lesson
with investigators!! It was a good one thankfully it definitely
didn't seem like 2 hours though!  It wasn't supposed to be so
long but they had a TON of questions and the members that were
helping us out had a lot of good things to say!  Wednesday we
just did a lot of finding and that's about it for that day!
Friday was a good day we did weekly planning and taught 4
lessons and had a new investigator which hardly ever happens
on Friday!! Saturday we went by members and potential
investigators and less actives we were also trying to contact
our investigators to come to church on Sunday.  Sunday we made
plans to get our investigators to come to church. We were going
to ride the bus with one and he left before we got there. The
other investigators were getting ready but apparently not for
church. That was sad :-( We ate with some members and celebrated
an Hermanas birthday. Then we had a lesson with a new investigator
Maria and went by some less active members. So that's all for now!!
Love, Elder Reisner
