Week #13

Como les van amigos!

Awesome week here in Visalia! I got a new new companion named Elder
Allen who just got here from Puerto Rico! Him and Elder Del Carmen are
the Zone Leaders. He's a solid Elder and is super good at connecting
with all the people we meet and teach! He said that all the
missionaries had to get taken out of Puerto Rico cause the hurricane
hit super hard! We started the week finding lots of new investigators!
We found a great family of 4 and some others great potentials!

The Ortiz family is progressing really good and have accepted to be
baptized! Our other investigator Isabel is also progressing really
well and came to church again! We also taught some of her Grandkids
and they love it when we come over! Alejandra couldn't make it to
church this week cause her sister came into town who she hadn't seen
for 10 years and had to drive to LA to pick her up so we are going to
have to move her baptism to but it's all good cause she has a super
strong testimony!

We got a bunch of new missionaries so the my companions have been
crazy busy running all around so I've been spending a lot of time with
the others Spanish Elders in our Ward and rode bikes for two days! We
had the BEST tacos the other night a our recent convert Marco's house
and I'd almost compare them to torchy's good! We Also had a big family
history day for the stake we helped out with and I also got to learn a
bunch about it and indexed some names! We went to the big
tramp/Parkour place again today which is so sweet! And that's about
all that's new here!

My favorite scripture this week comes from mormon 9:8: "Behold I say
unto you, he that denieth these things knoweth not the gospel of
Christ; yea, he has not read the scriptures; if so, he does not
understand them."
I have drawn a connection between almost all of the non progressing
investigators, non actives, and those with a weak testimony and nearly
all have not read the Book of Mormon or have stopped or become lazy
with it! Oh Necios! The Book of Mormon is key to coming closer to God
and Jesus Christ and will bring you pure joy! Something even stronger
than just the happiness that comes from things like playing sports,
double backfliping, eating doughnuts! the Book of Mormon is key and I
love reading it every day (English o Espanol)!

Have a solid week amigos y buena suerte!!!

Con Amor,
Elder Houssian
