WEEK 18

TWO milestones this week. I had my 19th birthday AND I hit my four month mark on the same day. Here are some highlights from the week —

- BAPTISM
We had a baptism for Berenice and it was so cool! Everything went perfect — which was super clutch. You could feel the Spirit so strong. I was able to baptize her too so that was really cool.

- MY BIRTHDAY
It was a really good day. We started out by making pancakes with cake batter and those were so good. Then I opened up my birthday presents and went to the church to talk to my family. We had a few lessons and then went to eat at a member's house. The Sisters were supposed to meet us there but since they hadn't arrived yet, we went and knocked doors for a bit. But then one neighbor called the cops. So they came and escorted us out, which kinda sucked but also made the day that much more memorable. And don't worry, we went back and ate at Sister Escalante's. She bought a cake for me; it was so good. Then we had a bunch more lessons and ended the night playing chess.

- DAY OF THE DEAD
We went to a church activity this weekend to celebrate el Día de los Muertos. We got there and helped clean and set everything up. After we walked through all the rooms in the church cuz they were each for a different family then we went to the stage area and watched people dance. Then we had dinner followed by a trunk or treat. It was so fun.

Hope your week was as good as mine!

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...

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 ...

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 ...
