Well dear family and friends, this last week was super great as
always!
We started off the week with teaching and finding a new
investigator! He is a former and has been picked up and dropped many
times so we'll pray for the best!
Tuesday we had a pretty busy day and
we were able to find 2 new investigators and teach a few lessons. We also
started teaching Juan's mom. So, with teaching her and Juan I think that
will help them both get a testimony and be baptized!!
Wednesday we
knocked into a part member family that said we could come back! Then we
had meetings and taught lessons and helped the Young Men's President do
visits to less active members.
Thursday we taught and found a new
investigator again we found a ton of new investigators this week! Also
something cool that happened is one investigator actually called us and
wanted to be in contact with us! They were taught before but now
they want to take the gospel seriously!
Friday was crazy! We had a
lesson with Emmanuel early in the morning then he asked us to come back
and teach him again! We taught him 2 times in one day it was crazy! He
is struggling and we gave him a blessing. Then we had weekly planning
and talked to Nati, Hermano Mercado's sister. She wants to learn more but
she was going back to Mexico. She said she would come back soon so we may
teach her again! Then we had a tour with Silvia and she said she would
come to church! Then we talked to the part member family. The son doesn't
have baptism records so that's why the hermano isn't active. So, we will
probably have to get the son re-baptized. The mom was close to being
baptized but she had a conflict with other missionaries so we'll see
what we can do to fix that mess!! Then we had dinner appointments which
we have a lot now that our ward mission leader made a calendar for the
ward.
Saturday was AMAZING!! Why you may ask? Well when Elder Betty and I were companions we
helped a less active family to be reactivated. They now have callings
in the church and are super active! They invited Elder Betty and I to go
to the temple! They weren't sealed yet and they took the classes and
were prepared! So I got permission to call President Becerra and he said
I could go to the Temple on Saturday!! Elder Bowes had to stay here
while I was at the temple! The temple was so great! We went through the Endowment Session
and the Sealing they did both in one day and it was in Spanish. It wasn't
hard to understand it was different and I may have even learned more in Spanish than in English! So that was the highlight of the week!! :-D They are the Reyes family and I love them to death! They invite us over
every week to eat and I'm really close with them! I know that
this really is what missionary work is about! This is a convert family
they were baptized 5 years ago and now they are an eternal family!! When
we make the sacred covenants with our Heavenly Father we can be together forever! I know that
eternal families are important, I am so glad I am sealed to my parents
and I know that families are forever! Saturday we also had lessons when I got back to the area.
Sunday was a MIRACLE! We had 5 INVESTIGATORS
AT CHURCH!! It was soooooooooo great!! I was so happy and all the
testimonies that people shared were amazing the spirit was so strong! We had lessons
and found more new investigators as well!!! So in total we found 6 new
investigators DOUBLE the amount than before!! I know that this is
only possible with the Holy Ghost as our guide and through our obedience
and diligence to the gospel. Heavenly Father has prepared people
everywhere to receive the gospel we just need to find them through
constant effort! I LOVE this work I LOVE the gospel!! I know that this
is my divine calling to be here and to be a missionary. I am so glad I
can serve our Heavenly Father!
Que les vaya bien!
Love, Elder Reisner
