WEEK 20

Four months! I've been in Mexico for four months now and it's only getting better. Here are some highlights from the week —

- BAPTISM
We had a baptism this week. It was so cool. Members of the Laureano family. The mom, Jaohana, and two of her daughters, Belinda and Esther. Such a cool experience. They have had a super hard time lately just with stuff in their life. They stopped coming to church for a few months but then started to come back. Now they are members.

- LESSONS
Our lessons were so good this week. We put three people on date. The first is Saul and he's super cool. He is your classic guitar street player. It's what he does for his job. The second person is Inés. She has been in Mexico City for a long time. So the first lesson back with her, we put her on date. The last person is Gonzalo and he is something special. His wife is a member who just became active again and he really wants to get baptized. He used to smoke 14 cigarettes a day but he's been clean for 9 days. Also, he has a little boy who is super cute too.

- SUNDAY
Wow, what a day. I woke up Sunday morning at 2 AM to the sound of thunder. Turns out it was my comp in the bathroom. Then about 30 minutes later, I joined him. We were throwing up all morning and just didn't feel good at all. We decided to go to church cuz we had three people to confirm. That was really cool but I felt like I was gonna pass out during the confirmations. I literally had no energy at all, it was so hard to just walk to church. We got home, slept, called our district, and went back to bed. Our neighbor who gave us a ride home from church brought us some tea, which really helped. Turns out we had food poisoning from a restaurant we ate at on Saturday called Holy Wings (my dad thinks it should've been named Holy Crap). We had wings, a burger, fries and fried hot dogs.

Don't worry. I'm feeling much better today. Hope your week was as good as mine!

Love and miss you all!

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 ...
