I'm back across the wall safe and sound here in Fresno! The mission here is super awesome! We got a huge welcome from Presidente and Sister Mackay and tons of the missionaries! We arrived here at like 1 after a long early travel and a stop in Dallas. 10 of us came from Mexico and 10 from Provo so we have 20 new missionaries!!!
I have two Latino trainers Elder Del Carmen and Elder Morales! They are so solid and amazing trainers! They are zone leaders so we got a lot a stuff we help out with around the mission and area! I'm in an area called Visalia about an hour south of Fresno and filled with tons of Latinos!!! Since I'm with zone leaders we get a truck and it's a new 2017 Toyota Tacoma! I love driving it (Although California drivers are loco en la cabeza)!
After a bunch of logistics and pre field meetings we have teaching and tracting a ton! Our area is super big! (Basically the whole stake here) And we have 7 Elders in the same Spanish ward! All lot of work needs to be done here! We have super solid investigators! One Investigator is an old man named Margarito and has a super cool Spanish accent! We set him with a Baptismal date and he accepted! We also set another investigator named Andy with a baptismal date and he accepted as well! He's 9 and part of a part member family and is really smart for his age and loves the gospel! I extended him a challenge that if he read the book of Mormon then I would show him some flips and when we came back he read two whole chapters in one night!
Don't have much time to email but I've been reading a lot in the Book of Mormon and it's such a powerful book! I love reading so much!!!
Alma 34 is one of my favorites and I definitely would recommend reading it!
32 Porque he aquí, esta vida es cuando el hombre debe prepararse para comparecer ante Dios; sí, el día de esta vida es el día en que el hombre debe ejecutar su obra.
I love the work here and love teaching the Latino People sooooo much (Even though the heat is brutal! I love and miss you guys a ton and your always in my prayers!
Con Amor,

Hey Tyler that is awesome! I think when I was serving there Viscalia and Porterville were the southernmost areas of the mission. Though I never went to those areas
ReplyDeleteGreat job Elder Houssian. Thank you for helping and loving our Latino brothers and sisters there. May the Lord bless you always.
