This last week has been busy! We had a bunch of meetings and a bunch of things that happened!
Tuesday, we had a lesson with the Mancilla family and we were helping our ward mission leader start a business.
On Wednesday we did a bunch of finding and something that we found that is better than knocking on doors is just biking around and getting off the bike to stop and talk to people. This is way more effective because it's harder for the people to run away or slam the door! We talked to a lot more people then we usually do! Then we went to an investigator's house the Jimenez family. They are a family of 7 and we got there just in time to help them move in these brand new couches that they just got which was really cool. They were telling us that we came at just the right time which felt really good! We are excited to teach this family, we think they could help the ward out really well! We also had dinner with some members and a lesson with the Trejo family about faith that they can have more faith to go to church and do the things they need to do to get baptized.
Thursday we had district meeting and did finding. Thursday was a funny day because it looked like it might rain but we thought it wouldn't rain and we'd be fine. So we left our apartment wearing all normal clothes. Everything was going fine but I felt like we should go to the next appointment we had. On the way there it started raining super heavily and we got soaking wet! We got so wet that we couldn't get any more wet! So we arrive to this appointment and we are soaking wet! The guy wasn't even there but his mom was and she was laughing because we were so wet! We had to take a picture of it because it was that funny! (he hasn't sent me the picture yet but I will be sure to post it when he does!!) We had to go home and change clothes of course! Thankfully one of the members Hermano Reyes was inspired and asked if we needed a ride we said yes please!! Then we were able to stay dry the rest of the day!
Friday we had Elder Coorbridge of the Seventy come and speak to us it was a long meeting 9-5! The first part was really great and I learned a lot the second part was really confusing and the message that he was trying to get us to understand was super confusing! I tried to get as much as I could from the meeting though. We also taught some lessons after the mission tour.
Saturday we did everything we could to get people to go to church. We called them we visited them and we made sure there were people available to give rides if people needed them. We got 4 investigators to church but we really wanted the Trejo family to come but we don't know why they didn't come!!
Sunday was great we had an amazing testimony meeting! I taught Gospel Principles and we played Jeopardy about the standard works. Then we checked on our investigators that didn't come to church. We taught some lessons and set up some other lessons but yeah it was a good week!
Something really amazing is that when we went to teach Patty and Sergio they basically taught us! We hardly said anything in the lesson; they are just so ready to be baptized!!! I hope I get to stay here for another transfer. I am not sure that I will because I have been here for 7 1/2 months and usually missionaries don't stay in their first area that long. We will see what happens on October 20th! Anyway, I love you all and I hope you all have a good week!
Love, Elder Reisner
