WEEK 29

This week, we didn't really do much, but two really cool things happened —

THE SLAP
The first is I got slapped in the face by a very large woman. After church, we talked to an investigator that showed up at church. We had never met before so I asked her what her name is. She said Lucy. I told her my dog's name is Lucy and she slapped me across the face. Apparently, that's the meanest thing you can say to a Mexican — that your dog has their same name. I don't know know why, cuz it's only a name, but yeah, she slapped me. It didn't hurt, just shocked me. So yeah, if you meet a Mexican who has the same name as your dog, don't tell them.

THE BUS DRIVER
The other super cool thing that happened is that my bus driver got in a fight. We were driving to Pachuca when our bus pulled over. I was already sitting on the passenger side near the front, so I had a great seat to watch. I looked out the window and saw someone pull his car over, walk out and then shove our bus driver. But then the bus driver clocked him in the face. Then the other dude got in a few punches (like teeth went flying) and he broke the bus driver's nose. Then the bus driver whipped out some karate kick moves and pinned the other guy down. He got on top of the other guy and started punching him in the face. Some people finally ran over and helped. Then the bus driver just got back on the bus with a broken (crooked) nose and blood all over his jacket, closed the door and started driving again, acting like nothing happened. The bus was silent. No one said a word about it. 

So yeah, that was my week. Hope yours was as good as mine!

Love you all,
Elder Fuller 



End of day vibes

One of our recent converts got a new puppy!

We got tacos. I'm pretty sure there's eye, brain, tongue and then normal meat.

We were in a car with some members

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 ...
