WEEK 19

Yep, another round in Tizayuca. Guess I'll be here for another six weeks. Here are the highlights from the week —

- TRANSFERS
Last week we had transfers. I'm staying with my American comp. In our district, two people left so we have two new people, but they are really cool. They are both Mexican, which should help with my Spanish. Also, our district grew and our zone was cut in half. We now have 10 people in our district and 15 in our zone.

- LESSONS
We have been having so many lessons which has been really good. We found two people who really want to get baptized so we are going to put them on date at our next lesson with them. We also have three other families or people that are getting close to baptism so let's hope we can put them on date this week.

- STAKE CONFERENCE
Stake conference was really good. A Seventy came and I was able to talk with him for a while afterwards and he seems like a great guy. Our mission president came and spoke and he made all of the missionaries stand up and share our phone numbers so that every member could have them. A few youth also spoke and their testimonies are so strong, it's cool to see. After conference, I talked with the Seventy and our mission president for a while. 

Honestly, I live in perpetual Groundhog Day. Everyday feels the exact same so sorry if every email sounds a lot the same. 

Hope your week was as good as mine!

Love, 
Elder Fuller




El Día de los Muertos — just your typical altar here

And this was in the city center of Tizayuca

This is my friend, Iker. His mom and sisters are getting baptized this week.

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 ...
