WEEK 16

It was another eventful week in Pachuca. Here are some of the highlights —

- TUESDAY
Tuesday we had a service project. We finished cleaning out the yard that we started a couple of weeks ago. The weeds were so much harder to pull this time so we were able to get a weed wacker and put metal springs in it. My comp was using it the whole time so I got creative and played some baseball. I found a mini bat and a tree with a bunch of small fruits. It was perfect. But then one of the sisters went all mom mode on me and got mad cuz I was being irresponsible so that kinda sucked.

- THURSDAY
Thursday was easily the hardest day of my mission. I don't know why, but it was so hard. My Spanish was so bad and I was just getting super frustrated. But at the end of the night, Tate sent me a video of our dog, Lucy, and that helped a lot.

- FRIDAY
Friday we had zone conference and it was fantastic. We got there early and helped set up. They taught exactly what I needed to hear and I actually got to teach a little bit. My Spanish was pretty good and I got to teach about the Book of Mormon which I can easily teach.

- SATURDAY
Saturday was a really good day. We had a bunch of lessons and when we were on our way to one, we saw a guy who needed help carrying something. We ended up helping him carry a bunch in for this quinceañera. They invited us to stay but we had a lesson so we went and taught the lesson and then came back to the celebration. It was so cool — everyone was staring at us cuz we were the only two white people they'd ever seen. Everyone was dancing and we got some good food — tamales and pig. It was so good. Later that night, we put a girl on date for baptism too.

- SUNDAY
Sunday was also a really good day. We had church and it was ward conference. We had a meeting with all of the leaders before church and then church was so good. Then after, we had to help the sisters set up for their baptism. I got to baptize the boy. The water was so shallow — it wasn't even up to my knees — so when I went to baptize him, I had to hold him under for a good two or three seconds to get him all the way under. It was such a cool experience. After he was baptized, all of us missionaries sang and I'm sure you can all figure out how that went.

Anyways, hope your week was as good as mine!

Tuesday service project

Some questioned my decision to wear pajama pants at the service project, but I stand by my decision. Definitely the best pants for the job.

Gotta hang with Elder Tengberg (Sawyer) since we are now in the same zone.

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 ...
