WEEK 15

It's been another great week in Mexico. Here are some of the highlights —

- CAMBIOS
Intercambios was so much fun. Elder Acevedo is easily the funniest guy I've ever met besides Tate and Tyler. After district council, I went with him and we ate at a member's house. We had this thing called flaun and it's basically jello and pudding combined into one but it's super cinnamony. After eating, we had tons of lessons. The next day, we had cereal for breakfast and then did a bunch of studying. Then we went out and had tons of lessons and found a bunch of people. We also met this dude who wanted to argue with us and we kept trying to leave and eventually we did and he just started yelling cuss words in Spanish (reminded me of soccer back home). That night, we got dinner and it was so good. We had burritos and fries with ketchup, hot sauce and melted cheese. When we were resting after our meal, Elder (Sawyer) Tengberg called and said he practically had to break up with this female member and then beg her to let them come back. It was legit the best part of my day cuz he's super dramatic about everything.

- MIRACLES
This week we saw so many miracles. Wednesday, when I was with Elder Acevedo for intercambios, we had two lessons that cancelled back to back. Because we had already gone all the way there, we decided to knock doors. We got five new people in one hour which is so cool.
Thursday, Elder Berquist and I wanted to stop by an inactive's house. The security guard wouldn't let us through the gate so we went knocking instead. But we felt like we needed to go back. Right when we got there, a girl started her shift working at the gate. She said she really wanted to learn about our church so she let us in and we also got a new person to teach. Then on the way home that day, a girl comes up to us and says she's been inactive for five years but wants to start coming again. 
On Saturday, the same thing happened. We couldn't get into a complex so we decided to start knocking again. But before we even started, a lady came sprinting up to us from legit 100 yards away and said she wanted to be taught by the missionaries. She also came to church — which is dope. And on Sunday, another family we dropped three weeks ago and haven't talked to since just showed up at church yesterday. Miracles!

Scripture of the week (I'm starting the Book of Mormon over again so I read this verse this morning) —
1 Nephi 3:7 — "And it came to pass that I Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them."

Hope your week was as good as mine!

Love and miss you all like crazy!
- Elder Fuller


A little shout out to my brother, Tate, who destroyed in Super Mario.

Lifehack — Wear an apron while you eat. That way you won't stain your tie. 
(I legit have ruined three ties already from spilling on them)

Corndog!

Legit — one of the best desserts you will ever eat. It's a Snickers wrapped in the same shell as a corndog then deep fried and then drizzled with sweetened condensed milk. Yum!

Our mid-morning snack — grasshoppers with lime and hot sauce. SO good.

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 ...
