I love General Conference!!

Dear family and friends,

CONFERENCE WAS AWESOME!!!!!!! I loved it all especially the Priesthood Session and Sunday! Elder Holland's talk was really good, the talk about the couple from Guatemala was super funny "Honey make sure you shake everyone's hand!" It's super weird hearing marriage talks because well I'm getting a TINY bit closer to that availability point which is scary!! Also, President Monson when he said all the missionaries will be done in two years made me sad because I don't want to leave the mission. It's so awesome and I just keep learning and growing so much its not even funny! What I have decided to apply in my life from conference this time is that I need to work on my Christlike attributes to have more faith to find, to be able to seek counsel from the Lord to lead and to bear powerful testimony as a missionary! I'll apply the marriage talks in like 7 years! ;-)

I am excited to help Conner get ready to serve a mission. I should have 6 good months to work with him when I get home. (not that I want to think about coming home) I made that one of my personal goals to do everything I can to help Conner go on a mission!

I had some MRSA or another spider bite this last week. I put the honey on it and I am taking 2 prescriptions for it this time. Some Bactrim and something new so we'll see how that works. It's a prescription that lasts for 20 days. My new pad is a lot cleaner than the other one so I am hoping that will help with my MRSA as well.

The new area is going pretty well. One of our investigators went to a members house and watched conference with them. We also got to have a new missionary with us for a day. That was cool! We just were with him to get him some experience because so many new missionaries came that President didn't have time to interview them all before they got their new companions!

I am doing this workout it's called insanity! It's pretty tough but I have got to do it! We eat more in this area and drive a car so it's the only good exercise that I get! Only two of our zones are going to have cars so it is not for the whole mission. I wish that my zone was biking but that's ok.

I am just trying to do my best. I always want to look for where I can improve. That's where we can apply the Atonement. Our ideal can become real and then our ideal changes we work towards that and it goes on for eternity!  I am thankful to be a missionary, I want to serve my Heavenly Father as much as possible!

Love, Elder Reisner
