Very good week again in Porterville! We got the car back so we started the week heading to a bunch of the little outskirt towns that we hadn't been able to visit and we found a bunch of solid potentials to teach out there and basically all the people in the towns speak only espanol!
We then moved to a new casa! Finally got out of the tiny apartment and into a little casa with dos banos! We had to spend a few days moving and deep cleaning the old apartment (Which took forever). Pretty much all of our neighbors speak spanish so I hung up the mexico flag right in the front window!
We also saw some great progress with our investigators! Juliette is pretty solid to be baptized on the 11th and is super excited! We also saw some great progress with Ivelice and Hugo and had 2 really good lessons with them! One of the lessons we brought over our juicer and Hugo works in the orange fields so always has tons of fresh oranges so we juice like a 100 of them with him and he loved it! Nothing like fresh California OJ!
This week we were doing service with a member who was super sick for 13 years and every doctor told him he has no hope and will die soon. He tried all the doctors he could but all said the same. So he turned to his Elders Quorum president for a blessing and in the blessing he was told the cure was in Doctrine and Covenants 89 (The Word of Wisdom)! So he studied for many days in both English and Spanish and with much prayer and made an outline for his new diet plan using that. 6 months later he goes back to the doctor and they were amazed! He was healed! And his relationship to god and testimony was stronger than ever! I too decided to study Section 89 and I can say without a doubt The Word of Wisdom is a PERFECT health guide and was direct revelation from god! Who better to tell us how to treat our bodies than the creator himself!
That's about all new down here! Have a solid week amigos!!!
Con Amor,
Elder Houssian
