WEEK 26

¡Feliz Navidad! ¡Feliz Año Nuevo! Hope you all had an amazing Christmas. I definitely did. Here are some highlights from my week leading up to it ‒

- ZONE CONFERENCE
Zone conference was super cool. We left at like 8 and got there by 9. Then each district had to decorate a window so everyone was doing that for about an hour. Then we were taught a few lessons and they were so good. I learned so much. Afterwards, we had a Christmas program and me and 3 other guys had to sing. It was awful; you could just see the Spirit run out the door. But then people who can actually sing sang after us and it was a lot better. Then we did piñatas and I almost got killed. This girl was swinging a metal pipe and it snapped in half and went projectile and skinned my face. After we did a gift exchange and I got a tie, shirt, socks and chocolate. Then we did this trivia game and I got dark chocolate as a prize so obviously I gave it away. Then they judged the windows and we got second, which isn't bad cuz we should have gotten like 4th or 5th.

- CHRISTMAS EVE
Well it started out horrible cuz we were supposed to have two baptisms but then they texted and said they wanted nothing to do with us ‒ so that's cool. Then we had three lessons which were super good. We went and ate at a member's house and I got some lime water in my eye so that kinda sucked. Then we went up to the church to empty the font that we filled up for the baptism and then came back home and played with legos. My comp and I got lego advent calendars and didn't open them until that night so we just did every one. We watched all the addiction recovery videos and a few other on the church app and then went to bed.

Hope your week was as good as mine!

Love,

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...

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 ...
