August, The heat is going down but the work is up!!

Dear Family and Friends, 

This last week has been another good week! 

Monday we taught Karen and the Trejo family they were both good lessons. The Trejo family really are amazing people.  They have accepted a date to be baptized!!  (Elder Reisner didn't share the date with me though!) 

Tuesday we had a a really great opportunity. We got a call from an Hermana that is either less active or doesn't go to our ward and she told us that her nephew wanted a blessing from us. She said he wasn't a member so we thought ok we'll go and give him a blessing. Then we show up to the house and there's like 6 people there and they ask us if we would like to share a message and we're like well of course we do!! So we share a message about faith and how people need faith to be healed and then we gave him a blessing. Then we just asked can we come again and talk to you guys and they said yes! So 6 new investigators in one night! Which was good because that day we were knocking and trying to find all day with no luck!
Wednesday we taught a few lessons and just tried to find new investigators.  

Thursday was a good day! We had district meeting and then we had a district lunch because it was our district leader's last meeting.  Then we had correlation it was a good one!  Hermano Schleske needed our help because he has been having a hard time lately so we did what we could for him.  Then we had dinner with the Stake President and he called the other Stake President and we got permission to baptize Patty and Sergio! It was so exciting! Their baptism is scheduled for Sunday! Then we had a lesson with Juan and with a family. The lesson with Juan was really good! We told him he could be an example to his brothers and sisters and his whole family by being baptized and he was really excited about that!

Friday we had some lessons, biked and it was a good day! 

Saturday was a finding day and we worked with some less actives.  

Sunday we had Stake Conference and it was a really good one! We had the Temple President there and President Becerra and his wife speak it was a really good conference. The theme was la obra missional oh sorry translation missionary work! Anyway, President Becerra talked about how his grandfather joined the church and how much impact that had on his whole family.  Then Sister Becerra talked about having the members help us missionaries find. We also had 2 members of the Stake Presidency speak. One talked about having an eternal family and plan of salvation. President Esquerra talked about how he is a convert and how our example can help people want to know more about the gospel. The Temple President talked about how we need to do everything we can to be worthy of a temple recommend and be sealed in the temple.  His wife bore her testimony and the president translated it because she doesn't speak Spanish.  We also had some lessons on Sunday.  So it was a really good week and I learned a lot! I love you all!

Love, Elder Reisner
