Very good week this week! Winter finally seemed to come and we got a bunch of rain and cold weather! Quite abnormal weather for this area during March! But it was good for us because no one works in the field when it rains so all of our investigators were home! We saw a lot of progress with Felipe Chavez (our investigator in Ducor), We finished the plan of salvation and taught the word of wisdom and found out he has problems with 4 of the 5 things but we set a goal for him to stop in 1 months and he's excitingly accepted! He really wants a change for his life and see the power the gospel can bring! We did a lot of contacting this week to find new people to teach and the lord placed some awesome people in our path! One lady moved in from Mexico not long ago and said she had been wanting to draw closer to god and her family had been telling her to get closer god too, the next day we showed up after being prompted to knock on her door and she was so happy and said she knew god had sent us! That night she was going back to Mexico to visit her mom and so we gave her a book of Mormon to read on the plane!
A lot of the people we talked to didn't want to listen to a message but wanted to feed us so 5 out of the 7 days this week we had 2 dinners!
My favorite scripture from this week is in 1 Nefi 15
23 And they said unto me: What meaneth the rod of ironwhich our father saw, that led to the tree?
24 And I said unto them that it was the word of God; and whoso would hearken unto the word of God, and would hold fast unto it, they would never perish; neither could the temptations and the fiery darts of the adversary overpower them unto blindness, to lead them away to destruction.
This world has a lot of temptation and distraction that the adversary sends, but if we hold fast to the word of God, we will not be over powered and will partake of the fruit of the tree of life which is gods love!
Have an excellent week! Espero que los frijoles salgan bien!
Con Amor,
Elder Houssian
