Well a year has gone by, it's flown so fast! It was a crazy week! Started off sick for 2 days! Couldn't even get out of bed! We've been getting a lot of new students in our English class almost all Arabic speaking and barely moved here from Syria, Yemen, India, and other middle eastern areas! We've had fun teaching the alphabet and the very basics of grammar! Two of the students have the last name Hussein so we are probably long lost cousins in some way!
We also had an awesome wet wedding (Baptism-Wedding)! It was quite the event! The branches relief society was awesome and we did some ring shopping! About 2.5 hours before the event we went to fill the font then left and forgot about it and came back an hour before and found about 2 inches of water overflowed into the room! Took about an hour of frantic clean up, but only damp carpet when we got started! After the ceremony and baptism they had a fiesta with the best horchata! We left back home but they stayed for 2 hour dancing after!
Transfers also passed and we both are staying!!! They called me as district leader to so that will be interesting. Should be a solid transfer!
My favorite scripture from the week is Alma 31:5- And now, as the preaching of the word had a great tendency to lead the people to do that which was just—yea, it had had more powerful effect upon the minds of the people than the sword, or anything else, which had happened unto them—therefore Alma thought it was expedient that they should try the virtue of the word of God.
The effect the true doctrine of the Lord can have changes attitudes and behaviors and has an effect greater than the sword!
Have a great week! Cuidense!
Con Amor,
Elder Houssian
