General Conference Week - GREAT!!

Dear family and friends,
It was a crazy week! Monday we had to help a member fix their car so that they could go to the noche de hogar. Then we got there late and so the Hermanas took care of it which was good!
Tuesday we taught a members non member mom and we did some finding. We also contacted a referral a member gave us.  We met with someone who is helping us with Sergio's divorce so that Patty and Sergio can get married and baptized!!
Wednesday we did some finding and we visited some less actives. We also taught some lessons.  
Thursday we did member splits and taught lots of lessons with members which was really great and was a success.  We also had a really good district meeting where we learned about how we need to be looking, teaching and finding people who fit what it says in Doctrine and Covenants 20:37 which I'll let you all read :-)
On Friday we did weekly planning. We visited some people and did finding and taught some less active members.  Something that we have been noticing is that when we contact people on the street by stopping on our bikes we have been able to get more return appointments and visits then knocking on doors which is really good! We also taught some investigators.  
Saturday we watched conference it was soooo amazing!! Patty and Sergio came they are basically just members. The conference sessions were really good I learned a lot! Something that I was really thinking about is true growth of testimony and becoming a true disciple of Christ. I think that's one of the things that really stood out for me. The things I learned will not ony help me as a misisonary but the investigators as well.  The Trejo family is good and Felicitas wasn't able to go to conference but she is good as well. We are just working on finding more people who are ready to hear the gospel because we had to drop a lot of people and re-adjust the way we work on the bike so that we can be more effective.  
Sunday we saw conference, we taught some less actives and visited some investigators.  
Monday was a weird day. We went and asked members for referrals, knocked on doors and taught lessons. 
Today was our temple day and it was quite enjoyable!! I learned a lot in the temple as well! Anyways I love you all and I hope that you are all having a good week!
Love, Elder Reisner
