Another great week here in Visalia! We started the week working a lot with our investigators and the ward list! We had some great lessons and many are progressing well twards baptism! We found some solid investigators through the ward list. On thursday we had an exchange with the assistants and we went up to a little town called oakherst up by Yosmite! We were up to about 4000 feet in elevation and their was lots of pine trees all around and cool weather! We visited lots of families their and many lived way up in cabins! Luckly the assistants also had a truck cause no car could've gotten to come of the members houses!
We also got to attend a confrence for all of Northern California on religious freedom and got to hear from Elder Rasband! We also a service day for the stake on Saturday and planted over 400 trees and plants in under an hour! We then laid a ton of mulch along a bike path for a few hours!
We have been working a lot in a little town right outside of Visalia called Ivanhoe which pretty much looks like it could be part of Mexico with probably 98% from mexico! We found a new investigator who lives in the guest house of some members named Jose! He's inderstands our message very well and was super excited when we gave him the Book of Mormon! He told us that when he was young he tried to cross the border by climbing the wall. When he got to the top a guard caught him but let him go and when he started to run away he fell off the wall 30 feet and broke both of his ankles! They them took him to the hospital in San Diego and let him stay to recover! He's been here ever since and lives alone with all his family back in Mexico!
That's about all that's new here! My favorite scripture from this week is the famous quote from the title of Liberty!!! Alma 46:12 In memory of our God, ou
We need to stand for our belifs in all places and cannot let our religous liberty be taken!
Have a great week and enjoy Haloween!
Con Amor,
Elder Houssian
