So this last week was sad with the passing of Elder Page. I didn't know him but he was my companion's companion in the MTC. We have just been trying to support each other during this tough time. We also had a funeral here in the mission this last week for a hermana that passed away. I did know her and was sad to hear of her passing. I am sure grateful for the Plan of Salvation and that I have the opportunity to teach it and to know that it is true!
So the family that we baptized last week is a family of 6 including the parents. The husband, wife and one of their children were able to be baptized! They have 3 more kids that the dad will be able to baptize when they are 8!! I was super happy for them and it was very spiritual at the baptism it was really great! The father of the family has been taught by different missionaries since May and the family started in June. I got here in August and things just started to click for them! They are doing so well and they want to start working on their family history so its awesome!!
We have dropped a lot of investigators this week and we are trying to find like crazy!
General Conference was great!! The things that stood out to me was Elder Ballard's talk about missionary work and also Elder Holland's talk. The other one of course was President Monson's talk! I think the biggest themes were missionary work in the Lords way with members and misisonaries working together. Also, getting and staying married were the things that really stood out to me.
I haven't been able to get the pilot program going that I have been asked to do. Mostly because of the funeral that we had this week. Hopefully we can get it going this week.
I love you all - thanks for the prayers!
Love, Elder Reisner
