Week #68

Hola!

Excellent week again here in Fresno! The weather has cooled down a bit which is very nice! We started off the week with lot's of teaching! We have some great people we are working with and it's been awesome to see how much they just grasp the gospel, especially the plan of salvation! We visited a lady and her daughter whose brother passed away and she just beamed and felt the spirit so strong as we mapped out God's plans of happiness! 

We then had Zone Conference! Great zone conference with lot's of changes! You could feel the urgency during that meeting and lot's of awesome things will be happening with gathering of Israel! We also had exchnages with the assistants, mission leadership council, and stake conference! They should a sweet video during stake conference https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bUZMvltP1VP8sQfKuM2kUQM3oYy7GMyW/view?usp=sharing ! 

We have an old man we have been working with named Refugio Vargas and a recent convert named Jose Ponce who are like the same person so we had Jose come teach him with us and they instantly became best friends! 

My favorite scripture from the week comes from Ether 12:27- 27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble;and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them. This scripture has grown to have more and more meaning in my life as I have come to understand the depth and the powerful truths of the gospel! We all have weakness and trials in our lives which draw us closer to God and then when we rely on him and live his gospel our weakness will turn into strengths! 

Love y'all y tenga una buena semana!

Con Amor,

Elder Houssian
