Dear family and friends,
Well this last week was really great! We started with a really good
noche de hogar with the Gonzalez family. The other elders are
actually teaching them but Elder Mendoza was waiting for his new
companion from the MTC so the three of us taught together. It was really good and the mom actually told us
last Sunday that it was a good noche de hogar so that was cool!
Tuesday, we got Elder Mendoza's new companion and met members so that Elder Markham could get to know them better.
Wednesday, we taught a bunch
and we found these 4 ninos who are the non-member grandkids of an hermana
in our ward. We showed them an object lesson about faith and they were
hooked! It was really cool and they wanted us to come over every day!
haha!
Then we are practicing to be in the Christmas program in the ward. We are going to be shepherds and the three kings.
Thursday, was a
really great zone meeting. We learned that we have been teaching the
wrong way. We need to focus on the atonement and on baptism every lesson. We need to help people feel Godly sorrow so they can feel the need and
know the why to get baptized. That was really inspired. Then we taught some
more and put that into practice and it worked really well!
Friday, we
taught the ninos again. They waited for us to come which was pretty great! Then we did splits with some of the young men in our ward.
That's
what happened to me this last week. It was really good and we are using
what we learned and applying it. It is working really well; it is really
showing people the why and making it so that we really teach people a principle and not
just a lesson which is really cool.
Well, I love you all and I hope your having a
good Christmas time!
Love, Elder Reisner
Elder Reisner is feeling much better! He injured his rotator cuff and is doing some exercises to recuperate. Thank you all for the many prayers offered!
