No changes can be good too!

Dear everyone-

 

So transfers were this week and I am staying here with Elder Nielsen! I am glad because I can't leave the  family we just baptized, I love them so much!!!! I am finishing Elder Nielsen's training because it takes 12 weeks. I found out that Elder Mostert who was the first missionary I trained is now the AP here so that is cool! Also, I am still District Leader can you believe it?!

 

One of the investigators that we are working with has a baptism date for the 24th of November! Then this week we found this guy who a member took to church and the first lesson we invited him to be baptized the 24th of November as well and he accepted!!! 

 

I have the pilot program still going for the English class. It was a little rough this last week in class but I talked to the guy who is having me do the class and he gave me some tips for how to do it a little better.  

 

We did have a member of the Seventy come this week. His name is Joseph W. Sitati and he was super cool! He taught about our purpose and he taught it like this:

INVITE others to come unto Christ 

by HELPING them 

RECEIVE the restored gospel through

FAITH in Jesus Christ

REPENTANCE

BAPTISM

RECEIVING the Gift of the Holy Ghost and 

ENDURING to the end.

The capitalized words are the action verbs. We as missionaries and members Invite and Help the investigators and we ask why do we invite? and How do we do it? Well the scriptures tell us how if we read 3 Nephi Chapter 9:20-22; 3 Nephi 27:13-22; Matthew Chapter 28, and JST Matthew 3;43-46 tell us the why and how. I won't share what I know because I want to hear your thoughts before I share mine. I like the scriptures a little bit more in Spanish because it's a little more expressive. Anyone who wants to share your thoughts on these scriptures please feel free to do it and share your responses with my mom.

Have a great week everyone!

Love, Elder Reisner

 

* Elder Reisner e-mailed me a picture this week but my computer is being weird and says it is too big to download. I will see if Shane can help me share it with you later this week.*
