Great week! Started off with a great zone conference! Elder Reyes and I gave a training to the Spanish speaking missionaries! We then had back to back exchanges! On the exchange we met a really cool man from Columbia who had a bunch of family who are members! We taught him the restoration and when we were testifying about living prophets he stops us and says "hey, I know that man" and pulls out a picture of his uncle with the prophet! He took the Book of Mormon and excitingly told us he'd read it! We also ran in to this man named Jacob and he was ready to hear a message right away so we shared the whole plan of Salvation on his porch and testified at the end about eternal families and how the first step towards that was baptism, we didn't even have to invite him to get baptized he asked us!
On Saturday our good friend Mario got baptized! Probably on of the smoothest and spiritual baptisms I've been to! I'll never forget the experience in the font that day! The next day we had a good amount of friends at church and Mario was confirmed!
My favorite scripture from the week comes from Alma 1:30 And thus, in their prosperous circumstances, they did not send away any who were naked, or that were hungry, or that were athirst, or that were sick, or that had not been nourished; and they did not set their hearts upon riches; therefore they were liberal to all, both old and young, both bond and free, both male and female, whether out of the church or in the church, having no respect to persons as to those who stood in need.
As the Lord prospers us, we must remember those who have less and set our hearts upon the things of God! As we do so our lives will be filled with peace and hearts full of Joy!
Have a great week!
Con Amor,
Elder Houssian
