WEEK 24

Big shout out to my sister who finishes her mission this week and to my dad who has a birthday this week. Been a great week here in Tizayuca. Here are some of the highlights —

- LESSONS
Our lessons were really good this week. We had 38 lessons so that was super exhausting but also really rewarding. We got a lot of people super close to baptism. This week we wanna put 2 or 3 more people on date.

- THE FOOD
The food this week was weirdly good. We had pozole twice which is just a soup with a kind of meat and then some rice things and whatever else u wanna put in it. We had chilaquiles which are prolly my favorite food. It's just soggy chips with salsa and meat. And we had gorritos which are so good. Basically it's a closed taco with a bunch of meat and rice and beans and vegetables in it. I also ate chicken feet which was horrible. It tasted fantastic but there's a hundred little bones you have to get out with your mouth so that by the end you just end up swallowing all of them cuz it's too much work.

- CAMBIOS
Me and my comp finally got split apart. I'm now companions with a Mexican elder named Elder Guzmán and he's super cool. He's been on his mission for about a year and is always super happy and funny. It will be nice to only speak in Spanish. I'm hoping that will help a lot. For those of you who care, my old comp became a zone leader in a new zone.

Hope your week was as good as mine!

Love,
Elder Fuller

Elder Berquist is my mission "dad" since he's the one who trained me.

First time shaving on the mission.

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...

WEEK 14

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 ...
