WEEK 22

FIVE MONTHS! I hit my five month mark! Not sure how it was for you, but it went pretty fast for me. Here are some highlights from this week —

- BAPTISM
We had the baptism of Gonzalo Sanchez this Saturday. It was such a cool experience. He is gonna be such a good member. I could feel the Spirit so strong during the baptism and so could his family. They were all crying like crazy and two of them aren't even members. Afterwards, both of them asked how they could get baptized so not gonna lie, that was pretty clutch. Then on Sunday, during sacrament meeting, they confirmed him. The Elders Quorum President did it. Then during the second hour, Gonzalo received the priesthood. That was such a cool experience — being part of Gonzalo getting baptized, confirmed and ordained within 24 hours. He's gonna be such a good priesthood holder.

- THURSDAY
This day was fantastic. Studied a bit then went and had two lessons. The sisters are sick so we went and contacted in their area and found some new people for them. Then we went and ate at a member's house who served in LA so he knows about Thanksgiving. He made cheesy potatoes, turkey wings, lasagna, asparagus, and pie with ice cream. The pie and ice cream were so good. I also got to watch a little Kung Fu Panda at their house so it, of course, made the experience that much better. We had two more lessons and then went to our last two lessons, but they weren't home. There were a bunch of kids playing soccer in the street and they were trash talking us so we decided to play  — and we absolutely destroyed them. It was super fun. Then we changed up the teams and it was more fair and more fun.

- INTERCAMBIOS
I had intercambios with Elder Boss this week. He's from Salt Lake City, is a Zone Leader and has two weeks left on his mission. He didn't really want to do much but I kinda made him. And when we got to the lessons, he destroyed it. He might be the best missionary teacher I've met. I don't know what he does, and his Spanish kinda sucks, and he talks like a sloth, but for some reason, he is so good at teaching. So I gotta work towards that.

Anyways, hope your week was as good as mine.

Love,
Elder Fuller


Gonzalo! He's such a stud and gonna be the best member!

Xena was also baptized this week. She was the zone leaders' contact but she wanted Elder Berquist to baptize her.


And here's a little sample of our musical number at her baptism...

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 ...
