San Gabriel A lot of good things are happening still!

Dear Family and Friends,
Things are still going good here in San Gabriel and we had a lot of cool things happen this last week! We started off with finding the Latino's in the neighborhood we live in. We thought we only had Chinese neighbors but then we heard a helotero (basically a guy that sells helote and other latino foods). So we went to go figure out if he knew where the Latino's are. Sure enough he said this apartment complex is mostly Latino and a few other places on a street right behind where we live are Latino too! It was really cool! 
Then Tuesday we had interviews with President. It is always good to talk to President Becerra he has so many good things to say. He told me that there is definitely another set of missionaries coming in this next transfer! We also went contacting in a park and had a lesson with some less actives. 
Wednesday we went and we had a BUNCH of less active lessons and also investigator lessons it was a really good day of teaching!  
Thursday we had district meeting and we talked about how we need and can do better about being obedient.  We also had a lot of member present lessons which was really great!  
Friday we found a new investigator and we had a noche de hogar with the Ruiz family that went really well! We also taught a man who was visiting from Mexico and he said when he returns he'll call the number that we gave him to get missionaries to come teach him! It was just sad that we couldn't continue to teach him.  
Saturday we had to look at apartments because we need a place for the other set of missionaries to stay so we spent most of the day doing that.  We found some really nice apartments for them. We also had a lesson and tried to call and visit all our investigators so that they would come to church the next day.  
Sunday was a good day we were blessed with 7 investigators at church again! We also had a lesson with Patty and Sergio who are just so ready to be baptized they just need to get the divorce and the marriage. They also want to get sealed in the temple and they were the only ones out of their family that came to church. They were one of the earliest ones to church too! We also had correlation meeting and we had lessons with Juan.  
Yesterday we found some great potentials and we also had a great lesson with the Trejo family, they really opened up. Then we taught the huge family but only 6 of them were there that time with their sister who is a member so that was a pleasant surprise! Anyway, things are looking good here in San Gabriel and I hope things are going good for all of you too!
Love, Elder Reisner
