Rimgrove

Dear family and friends,

 

Well, I got transfered!! Not only that but I am now District Leader of a district with 10 missionaries! So it's a little crazy but I know that this is where I'm needed. I am excited to help all of these elders and sisters! There are 8 elders and 2 sisters so that means I need to do 6 exchanges!! It should be interesting/fun!! My new area is called Rimgrove Central and it's in La Puente California. My new companion is still new so I am also training! His name is Elder Mostert and he is from South Carolina. He seems cool and I think we'll get along great! I was really sad to leave. I was in San Gabriel for 7 1/2 months which is really unusual but I felt like I did all that I could to help the work progress. That area is a lot different from what it used to be when I first got there! I took a bunch of pictures with the members and I will try to send you those as soon as possible! I will be able to go back for Patty and Sergio's baptism, that will be a very exciting day! Also, Maria an investigator that we found and gave to the sisters is getting baptized! She asked me to baptize her and I am super excited!!!  We had a really good week this last week and I'm really excited to be in this new area. It's still a bike area but it's a lot smaller! 

  

Last week was a crazy week and a good week we started off by finding and teaching Monday.  

Tuesday we had our lesson with the Trejo family and President Becerra came with us. They are having some struggles and we are trying to help them as much as we can. Elder Carvajal and his new companion will be working with them on that.  

Wednesday was pretty normal just finding and more finding!

Thursday we had a really good district meeting about the area book and it made me want to update our area book more than I had been doing in the past.  

Friday we had weekly planning.

Saturday was a crazy day! We biked at least 30 miles or more but we had 5 lessons that day so it was super good! We also found two new investigators that have a lot of potential!   

Sunday I said bye to the members and to Patty and Sergio. 

San Gabriel was a really good area and I felt like I learned a lot by being there but I am excited for this new area and all the new things and the new challenges and experiences! 

I am grateful to be serving Heavenly Father and to be a missionary!  I know that this work really cannot be stopped.  I love you all and I hope you have a good week!

Love, Elder Reisner
