¡Feliz Año Nuevo!
Great holiday week this week! Christmas was excellent! We ate an abundance of tamales with a bit of tortillas beans and posoli! Although much was happening, the work still has been moving forward here! Our good amiga Sylvia has been progressing a lot and is set to get baptized in January! As well our friend Mario and his whole family have been progressing a lot and all came to church! On Saturday I got to go back to Kerman again to see Marco get baptized! I remember the first day we met him, biking by we almost didn't stop to talk to him but we did and he was very drunk and had well over a thousand beer cans in his truck bed! We had some crazy lessons with him and since that first day we got to church he hasn't missed! He went from wheeling himself over a mile in his wheel to chair to the gas station just to satisfy his beer craving to achol free, healthy and excited for the future! Over 6 months 100% turn around! A good friend named Oscar I baptized back in Kerman got to perform the baptism as well!
New Years eve we went to the famous Doghouse grill at Fresno State! And after had homade tortillas at a returning members house! She as well shared her testimony with us about how after being our of the church for 10 years to complete change she's had in her life as she came back! The power the gospel has to change lives is amazing!
This morning we dropped off Elder Chiniquy at the airport to head to Ecuador! It was great serving with him! Back to a duo! Transfers will be next week so we hope to have a strong week as we come into the new year!
Favorite scripture of the week is 3rd Nefi 13
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.
All our goals we have for this new year can be achieved as we put God first in all things!
Cuidense!
Con Amor
Elder Houssian
