WEEK 2

This was my last week of Home MTC! My next adventure awaits. Here are some highlights from the week﹣

- Celebrated the 4th of July with family and friends. I only had MTC for half of the day so I was able to join in on all of the 4th of July festivities. Ate some good barbecue with my family and watched fireworks from the top of a parking structure with siblings and friends.

- I'm understanding Spanish a little better. Still can't speak it so me and another elder continue to get picked on by the instructors haha. But our new instructor gives us 10 minute breaks﹣which is way nice. And in our Spanish breakout rooms, I always get paired up with the only other elder who never took Spanish and Hermana Webb﹣who has become our Spanish tutor.

- My grandma had us over for a pancake lunch this week. She seriously makes the best pancakes in the world. 

- Had my farewell party. Thank you to everyone who came out to support me and say goodbye.  

- Ate my favorite meals every night and spent my free time with family & friends. Went bowling with my family and Max. Tate destroyed us all with five straight strikes. Had an outdoor movie night, played tennis, spikeball & home run derby, blew up some water bottles and basketballs, made a massive slip-n-slide and had some spontaneous 7-11 and In-N-Out runs with friends. It's been a great week.

- Took missionary photos with my friends who are also leaving on missions this summer. 

- Got packed up for my next adventure﹣Mexico City MTC then on to serve in Pachuca, Mexico.

Hope your week was as good as mine!

Love you all,
Elder Fuller


Happy 4th!

WEEK 96

Alright, Imma start this week off complaining and then I'll get to the good parts — - WATER, POWER & GAS Monday-Wednesday, we had absolutely no water in our house. We had to shower with water bottles and honestly, it felt pretty weird. Once we finally got water, then we lost gas. It's so freakin' cold here in the mornings and it was so much worse with freezing cold water. Luckily by Friday, we had gas. On Thursday, we lost power, so we went without any electricity for 2 days and it kinda sucked cuz there was no where to charge our phones. Then on Saturday and Sunday, we got to watch general conference. We don't have a church here so one sister gave us her tv and another, their computer. We used our hot spot to put on general conference and right after the last session, we lost the last bit of our data. We used so much data streaming general conference and now we got no data for 2 more weeks. There's not a single member here with wifi so now we gotta go 2 weeks w...

Had a great week! Here are the highlights — - ZONE CONFERENCE We had our Christmas Zone Conference. It was the best zone conference I've been to. They had a Christmas program so we heard a bunch of Christmas stories and sang a bunch of songs. After, we played a bunch of games and broke a piñata. We had secret santas and I got a poncho that I now wear to bed every night cuz it's freakin cold here! Our mission president gave everyone gifts and then I got some from my parents. - NAVIDAD It was super cool to spend my last Christmas here in Mexico. I was in a trio so it felt kinda weird but it was super fun! We honestly did nothing for Christmas day but Christmas Eve, we went to a member's house and played a bunch of soccer. Then  I had to check in with all the companionships in my zone, but after, we had pasole! We finished by playing one of the most intense games of Uno I have ever played. We prolly got home at like 11:30 and talked for 30 minutes. At midnight, when Christmas ...

I reached a milestone this week...3 months as a missionary. Here are some of the highlights —  - SERVICE This week we had another service project. This lady wants to start a garden in her backyard, but first we needed to clean it out. It had bushes and long grass covering the entire space. Also, there were probably 1000 grasshoppers. Every plant or blade of grass we pulled had at least a few on them. There were tons of spiders and other insects. We spent two hours just pulling bushes and grass and got about ¾ of the way done with her backyard. We are going back on Tuesday to finish the backyard and to do the front yard. After we were done, we stayed for lunch and the lady gave us soggy pig skin to eat. The sisters hated it. I wasn't a fan either but the sisters would just throw their food onto our plates when the lady wasn't looking so we ended up having to eat far more than our share. - GENERAL CONFERENCE General conference was so good this week. I couldn't understand all ...
