WEEK 34

We are definitely putting in the miles here in Actopan and getting very well acquainted with the area. Here's how are week went — 

- THIS WEEK
Alright. I'm gonna be completely honest. This week was absolute crap. We worked our butts off and were literally 100% obedient, with little results. But I guess sometimes life gets rough. On Monday, we had 43 lessons scheduled for the week and by the end of the week we had only given 5 lessons. No one wanted to hear us which lowkey hurts. And to make things even worse, Sunday was awful.

- SUNDAY
No friends showed up at church and then we went and found a family of 7! Excellent! And then they fed us. Bruh, it was prolly the worst food I've eaten here. It was cow skin soup but the skin still had hair on it. It shouldn't even count as food but it's Mexico so you can pretty much call whatever you want food. And it was freakin' spicy; I still can't taste. Then after, I gotta talk to my fam and that was cool. My parents are doing great, Tate absolutely destroyed in his lacrosse game, Gabrielle is finding some hotties up at BYU, and I got no clue about Brooke. She doesn't really like to talk to me and I highly doubt that she's reading this so it's all good if I say this. Then after I talked to my parents, we were leaving the chapel and I shut the secretary room's door and then we realized the keys were in there. So then we went to call the zone leaders to come and unlock it, but the phone was in there. So then we went all James Bond mode. We literally tried everyway to get in. We picked the lock, tried hitting off the doorknob, and then finally we climbed through the ceiling but it turns out this room is Fort Knox. Someone broke in about a month ago so they redid it and now it's just a huge cement cube. Literally, the ceiling and the walls are cement so we couldn't get in. So then we had to break a screen from another window just to get out and then hop the fence to the church. I also ripped my pants jumping the fence and they were from my suit so that kinda made the day even worse. And we had to take the screen to the house cuz we don't want anyone to see the broken screen. We finally got to the zone leader's house and they came and helped us, so now we're all good. So yep, this week was tough but we always got the next week to do better.

Hope your week was much better than mine.

Love & Miss You All,
Elder Fuller

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 ...
