Dear Familia y Amigos,
This last week was super duper good!! On
Monday we had a potential scheduled that wasn't home but because he
wasn't home we actually were able to teach a random guy named Tom and
help him. He said he had drinking problems and wanted help so we said we
were there to help him! He said he would talk to his wife and get back to
us to tell us if he wanted to be taught or not. Then we went to an
investigator named Karen. She is ready to be baptized but the thing she
is missing is going to church. She knows The Book of Mormon is true but
she isn't as sure anymore because she hasn't been taught for 3 months by the
missionaries. Then we went over to some members house and scheduled a
noche de hogar.
Tuesday we went by former investigators of the area
that hadn't been taught for years. We went to this one little place and
found 4 potential investigators!! Then we went finding and went by other
formers that said to come back another day. We then went to an area
that I had only been to once and went by a man's home named Alvino. He said we
could come back another day. Then we went to Hermana Chavez's house and
taught her parents they are pretty old. The lesson was mostly us
listening to a story about a dog. haha Then we taught Juan he is doing
good. He stopped coffee, he is reading every day and praying the only
thing is he doesn't think that he is ready and he hasn't been coming to
church! :-( We know he's ready we will just love him and try to help
him and not force him to be baptized.
Wednesday we did finding and found
some good potentials. We also taught Carmen and Isaac they said they
want to get baptized but they aren't married and don't have enough money
to get the marriage license. We had correlation and then we did more
finding and visits with the young men to the less actives of the ward.
Thursday we taught Emmanuel he wanted to be baptized right then and
there in the lesson! We told him he needed to prepare and he then
committed himself to go to church and be baptized!!! Then we taught a
youth in our ward and did some finding and ate with the Reyes family.
Then we taught Alvino he said that last time he was taught by
missionaries he wasn't ready but this time he is ready and he wants to
learn and know more! Then we checked by some members to talk with them.
Friday was a good day! We had a lesson with Karen at 11 she said she
would go to church and read and pray daily! Then we had another lesson
with a youth in our ward. Then we did weekly planning. Then we had a
lesson with Silvia about the Plan of Salvation she reads all the time
and learns a lot she is still thinking it all over though. Then we had
dinner with the Bishops family it was yummy Chiles Rellenos!! :-) Then we
talked with Hermana Quack a less active in our ward.
Saturday we biked
and we taught 2 less actives and found some really good potential
investigators!
Sunday we had church and Elder Bowes got to speak. We
also had a lesson with Patty and Sergio they are investigators that live
out of our mission and we just got permission from President Bacerra to
start teaching them! We also taught Maria and a lady named Sonia.
Sonia has been prepared by the Lord to receive us! She already feels the
feelings of the Spirit. She said this is a nice feeling I want my husband
to feel this too! It was a great lesson!!!! Then we did some finding
and we went by some less actives to invite them to a noche de hogar.
This week has been amazing and I'm glad that we are following the Spirit
to find and teach those people that Heavenly Father has prepared for us.
I am so glad I can be an instrument in His hands and be one of His
servants and devote all my might mind and strength to serve Him. I thank
you all for your love and support and prayers!!!
Que les vaya bien!
Love, Elder Reisner
