Great and super crazy week here in Porterville! We have still been on bikes biking a Ton (Over 30 a day)! Every night the second we hit the bed we are out! But we have seen a huge amount of progress here! We found 3 new families to teach this week and they received super well! We also saw a lot of progress with Juliet! We got to have 4 really solid visits with her and she is super excited to be baptized on the 11th!
On Thursday we had zone conference and it was really good! Both of my trainers are leaving though which is a bit sad.
On Friday it was my Birthday and we had a super solid day! We did service for a member and in return she bought us a birthday cake! We also got a juicer and since we get a ton of fresh oranges and Lemons we made a bunch fresh juice! Saturday night we ate the best Tacos I'd ever had and I ate 18 and Elder Hoffmann ate 20! Right after I did a sideflip to prove the Tacos don't weigh me down! We had a long night on the bikes though!
Sunday was stake conference and all the Spanish speakers from Porterville, Tulare, and Lindsay joined together!
I'm back at the beginning of the Book of Mormon and my favorite verse of the week was 1 Nephi 3:7 7 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them.
I've been using a really solid Book of Mormon study guide and in it it explains that the trip to return to Jerusalem was about 181 mile and 12-14 days! I've been on hikes like that before and know how physically demanding they can be. With that we can truly see how much faith Nephi had when he gave the response he did!
Well that's about all new! Have a solid week!
Con Amor,
Elder Houssian
