So the family that we were so sad to leave in my last area were awesome! We went over all the time and well they had been going to other churches but the hermana prayed for guidance and then we knocked on her door! The hermana was baptized and she is the mom of a member of the bishopric in Rimgrove.
My first week with my new companion was AMAZING!! He speaks better Spanish than I do since he was with a native Latino companion for 4 1/2 months. We taught A LOT!! Like more people just let us in I don't know what it was but we just had a ton of lessons with investigators and we found 6 new investigators and a family which my companion told me is a lot for this area!!
My new district has 6 of us with two hermanas so not as big and not as many exchanges so that's good. Right now we don't have a bishop or a ward missionary in our ward! They are getting ready to change the boundaries before they make all the changes. That means I could be in a new ward by the end of the month.
We actually had Stake Conference this last week and I saw most of the members I have worked with on my mission! I even saw the couple we worked with for a long time from San Gabriel!!! It was awesome!! I was super happy that that happened! All the people from San Gabriel said that I grew but I don't feel like I grew but whatever!
This week I just found out that faith and trusting in the Lord is what missionary work is about! Not saying that you have any skills whatsoever but trusting that the Lord wants you to do his work. Did I tell you part of East LA is in my new area so I am speaking much more Spanish now!!! I also am enjoying riding my bike again!
Have a great week!!
Love, Elder Reisner
