WEEK 21

Happy Thanksgiving! Eat some turkey for me and I'll eat some tacos for you. Here are some highlights from my week —

- FOOD POISONING
Like the geniuses we are, we decided to eat Chinese food on Monday. (Yes, this was the Monday after the Sunday we were in bed for most of the day.) What a mistake that was! I was throwing up and on the toilet all of Tuesday and most of Monday. We got food poisoning again, two times in three days. But it's all good cuz I won't eat it anymore. 

- INTERCAMBIOS
We had intercambios (exchanges) on Tuesday. It was so good. I was comps with Elder Sanchez; he speaks absolutely zero English. It was a good time for me to test out my Spanish. He's super shy so I taught basically all of the lessons and they were really good (I think). And I got to talk Spanish with him all day so that was really helpful.

-ZONE CONFERENCE
It was so good. It was exactly what I needed. They talked a lot about service and how to teach and the importance of The Book of Mormon. After this, the next few days, we had super good lessons and focused a lot more on what's important. It was so good.

Anyways, hope your week was as good as mine!

- Elder Fuller



Our zone at zone conference. Our zone leader is headed home next transfer. There's a sister in his ward that's good at sewing so he picked out fabric and had her sew matching ties for all of the elders in our zone and then used the same fabric to sew matching hair scrunchies for the sisters.

Can you find Elder Fuller?

They asked me to lead everyone in reciting D&C 4. I know it perfectly in English, but this was in Spanish. Luckily I know the beginning and just mouthed the rest (shh — don't tell) while everyone else recited it.

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 ...
