Another good week!

Dear family and friends,

This week has been another good week!  It has been really hot here over 100 degrees mostly but we still keep working!  

Monday we had a noche de hogar and we had it about faith. Elder Bowes taught a lesson and I did the activity. We had all these chairs scattered all over the gym and then we got some members and told them to walk through the chairs by faith. A lot of them were really apprehensive but they were able to do it! What we did is right as they start walking we move the chairs so they don't walk into them. Then they take the blindfold off and see the path.  I told them to look you can do hard things as long as you have faith! It was a really great noche de hogar! 

Tuesday we set up some new things so we can start finding better. We are going to start an English class so we can find more investigators. We will also teach the members of our ward English if they want to learn. We also got permission from Walmart to set up a booth in front of the store.  Then we can contact all the people that go to Walmart and give them cards, flyers, pamphlets, Book of Mormons and all the other stuff we have. We have been using these booths in the mission mostly at colleges but we thought since a lot of people go to Walmart why not try there?!

So we are still doing good and still having a lot of lessons!!!  Patty and Sergio want to get baptized and have a date set for the 26th of August! We are going to talk to President Esquerra (Stake President) to see if they can be baptized in our ward. They live outside our ward boundaries and so we need to get permission from our Stake President and their Stake President as well as the Bishop and President Becerra.  They really want to keep coming to this ward because they have their family in this ward.  They have been coming to our ward for 10 weeks straight!  

The Trejo family is a really great family! They went to church last Sunday and they are reading and praying. We have an appointment with them tonight and we are hoping to give them a baptismal date!

Maria is another investigator that came to church and wants to be baptized. She knows the Book of Mormon is true and she really liked church! We hope that these investigators will continue to progress!  

We also did better this week at finding because last week we didn't really find anyone new to teach. Anyway, I hope that all of you are doing well and that you all have a great week!

Love, Elder Reisner
