Another week completed down here in Visalia! It was a bit different this week cause we aren't in a trio any more but Elder Del Carmen have been doing solid! Sorry I didn't send that much last week, some members in our stake own a huge trampoline park so we went their for like 3 hours for free!!! They also have a little parkour park inside which is even better! I was a bit rusty at first but after a bit I pretty much got it back! I also taught the Elder I went with (Elder Witt) how to do backflips and frontflips! The very last backflip he did before we left he tried to get extra height and ended up landing on his head! He ended up being all good just a bit of a sore neck!
This week we find some solid investigators and had a really productive week! Our investigator Isabel came to church for the first time and brought her granddaughter, we set a date with her for the 28th but are going to have to move it cause she's going to have a surgery on that day so we are going to try to move it forward 2 days! Our other investigator Alejandra has a date for the 21st and is super solid! She understands everything we teach and the things she doesn't she just moves forward with faith that it will come! She has a 4 year old and really wants him to grow up in the church! The church truly helps build families on the strong foundation of Jesucristo so when the trials and challenges come, peace and joy will still be found and the foundation will not fall!
This week we will getting a new companion! All of the missionaries in Puerto Rico had to be moved out so our new companion (and new zone leader) is one of those who had to be moved out! It's definitely going to be sweet having him as one of my trainers! We are also getting another big group of nuevos from the MTC and 4 are coming to our zone!!! That means 7 of the 10 compaionships is our zone will be trainer/trainee companionships! The Viscous Visalia Zone is going to be rolling strong with fresh Elders and Sisters ready to give their all to the best work in the world!
Espanol is coming along great! I think for the first time at church I understood pretty much all of what was said! The ward is awesome at feeding us too and the fijoles are muy rico!!!
That's about it! We are about to leave to have a Zone BBQ with ultimate Frisbee so thank y'all so much for all your prayers and thoughts! We truly do feel all the prayers sent our way!
My favorite scripture this week comes from Alma 13: 22-24 so look that one up! But here i'd like to share a different thought! It's about the importance of Family Home Evening! In this crazy and changing world family home evening can help strengthen and unify the family and shouldn't be something that is ignored! Here's a deep quote from Elder Bednar!
Elder David A. Bednar
I invite all of those who have not have a family home evening for a while to start again! Or if you havn't at all to start! you will see the joy and happiness that will come into your home and families!
Also Happy Birthday to my awesome bro Kyle out serving in Las Vegas! He's a big inspiration to me and is going strong out in the the mission field!
Nos vemos amigos!
Con Amor,
Elder Houssian
I saw this Bills flag on a biking exchange so I had to take a picture and knock the door! They weren't interested but it was nice talking to a fellow Bills fan!
