It´s been a great week down here in Visalia! The weather has cooled down here which is so nice! Our Truck had to get an oil change and apparently the tires were messed up to so we had to bike for the day! The next day we went on exchanges and we went in the Gringo area so we rode bikes again! I love riding bikes! It adds energy to the work and we get to meet a lot of people on the streets!
We have been working with Marco and Andy a ton this week and they got Baptized on Sunday!!! It was a very spiritual service and I got to Baptize Andy!!! They both have grown strong testimonies and loved their baptisms!
We taught a lot of our investigators this week and many are progressing very well! The finding has been a bit slower this week but we have set some high goals and made good plans for the next! We had Zone Conference this week and it was solid! At the end the missionaires that are leaving gave their testimonies and it was powerful!!!
Overall pretty much just another spiritual and crazy week here!!! Español is getting better gradually and I can hold a conversation pretty good with most people we meet and teach!
This week I studied in Mosiah a lot and my new favorite story is Abinadi! He´s a super powerful prophet and a savage! He came in, chastised the king and all his false priests, shared some of awesome revelation, then cursed them to be put to death by fire!!! One of my favorite parts is here 9 Now Abinadi said unto him: I say unto you, I will notrecall the words which I have spoken unto you concerning this people, for they are true; and that ye may know of their surety I have suffered myself that I have fallen into your hands.
10 Yea, and I will suffer even until death, and I will not recall my words, and they shall stand as a testimonyagainst you. And if ye slay me ye will shed innocent blood, and this shall also stand as a testimony against you at the last day.
Many people here try to tell us we are wrong and that we don´t know what we are talking about but we KNOW they are true and the work of the lord will go forth unto all (¡Necios!)!
Love you all and have a solid week!!!
Con Amor,
