WEEK 41

This week was pretty good. Here are some highlights —

- TEACHING
We didn't find too many people this week but we are helping a lot of our people progress. A lot of our friends are doing well. The problem is they all live at least an hour from our chapel and they don't have the money to travel or a car. That is the hard part right now.  So if you could add them to your prayers, we'd appreciate it.  But other than that, everyone is doing really well.

- P-DAY
Two good things on p-day. The first one was a hike. We woke up before the sun to meet our zone. It was more like a walk than a hike and it wasn't the most scenic hike, but it was definitely a change from our normal activity. The problem was our zone is horribly out of shape. During the steeper parts, I literally had to boost the sisters up so they could get to the next level. And then, on the way down, they refused to go because of the steepness (it was like a 3 foot drop & they didn't want to hurt themselves). And again — because I'm the biggest one there, everyone else decided I should be the one to carry every sister down the steepest portion — by myself. Isn't that against the rules?!! Wouldn't complain if that was my last hike with this zone.
We also had a barbecue with some recent converts. It was so much fun and we had so much food. The two best things we ate were ant eggs and rabbit. The ant eggs were actually really good and they would just pop in your mouth. They kinda looked like maggots. The rabbit was so good though. It tasted kinda like grilled chicken and it was super good with molé BBQ sauce.

Also, just thought I would add this — if anyone wants a pet crocodile there is a pet store here selling one for $100. It's a really good deal and I would totally buy it, but you know... mission rules. Not allowed to have pets on the mission. But it is actually a legit crocodile. They said it should grow up to 3 or 4 feet. We are trying to convince all the people we talk to here to buy it, but so far, there aren't any takers.

Anyways, hope your week was as good as mine.

Love,
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...

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 ...
