This last week was really good! We had a lot of unexpected lessons all of the sudden there were a bunch of people letting us in and referrals and stuff coming out of nowhere! It was really cool!
It all started on Monday when we get a call from some English speaking elders in the mission who knew this missionary that is actually in Provo, Utah. They told us that the missionary said that his family is ready to receive the missionaries. None of his family are members of our church. They needed the Spanish missionaries because the family speaks more Spanish. So we went over there and they accepted us in and fed us all in one. It was pretty cool!
Then on Tuesday I did an exchange with Elder Morell and we were able to teach a lot of lessons! It was a great day!
Wednesday we taught some lessons and we did some finding. We were able to teach our investigator from last week a lot this week! He had the question of whether his baptism was valid. We asked him what do you think? He said well it isn't right to be baptized like 5 or 6 times and then he said now what can you tell me? So, we did an object lesson to show him that we only need to be baptized once but by someone who has the proper authority. He said OK and that he would pray about the things we talked about. He is reading the Book of Mormon and he and his wife came to church on Sunday!!! That was really exciting! We were super happy he is making good strides to be baptized on the 30th of this month! It would be so awesome because this area hasn't seen a convert baptism in 10 months!
We also found this really cool 17 year old guy who said he was Atheist but only because he didn't know what to believe. Then all of his doubts were resolved through the things that we told him. We sat down for an hour with him and answered his questions and then he agreed to read The Book of Mormon and come to church. He couldn't come Sunday because they had a fathers day trip but he said he'd come next week!
Other than that really just moving and plugging along. We are excited for all of our investigators and pray that they will all continue to progress. Thank you everyone for keeping me in your prayers!
Love, Elder Reisner
