WEEK 31

Had a great first week in Presas. Here are some highlights —

- NEW AREA
My new area is pretty cool. It's super green and has a bunch of animals. It's much more rural than my last area. The people are pretty cool. There are a few who don't like us, but most everyone's super nice. We have also worked super hard and didn't have a lot of success, but I know that we will if we keep working hard. I share a house with another companionship and it's so fun. We always mess around and talk until midnight or one every night, but it's super worth it. 

- SATURDAY
What a day. Started off as one of the worst days and ended super good. First of all, instead of doing comp study, my comp and I played hacky sack and I nailed my foot on the counter and it hurt so bad. Prolly bad karma for not studying, but it was worth it. Then we went contacting and found a guy who invited us in. He locked the door behind us and wouldn't let us leave until we watched a video with him. It was called 7 things Mormons don't want you to know. It was super funny; I laughed at it and told him it was hilarious, but he meant for it to hurt us. Then he told us how horrible our church is for a good hour. Good times. Later, I was standing over a ledge observing an absolutely stunning view when I slipped and fell about 10 feet into a huge pile of trash. Ruined my shirt and I smelled like absolute crap the rest of the day. I was in a horrible mood and then the best part is  — who knows for what reason — that same guy who locked us in his house drove by and threw a rock at me and hit me in the leg. He drove past again and hit my comp in the head so then I picked up a rock and chucked it at his car. I dented the car and scraped the paint. And also, I've repented of it so I'm fine now. Then the rest of the day was filled with miracles. We found three people, had seven lessons, worked a bunch, and made a new dog friend.

- MY NEW DOG FRIEND
We were walking in an area and lost track of time. It was 8 and we're not supposed to be in this area past 6:30 cuz it's a little dangerous. When we were walking, a dog started sprinting towards us like it was coming to attack. Scared the absolute crap outta me but then, out of nowhere, a huge pit bull came and tackled the dog. Bit him once and then the dog ran away. Then the pit bull walked with us the rest of the way, for like 45 minutes, to our house. Now I want a pit bull even more.

Anyways, hope your week wasn't as eventful, but just as good as mine.

Love you all,
Elder Fuller


This is what most of our area looks like

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 ...
