WEEK 43

This week was pretty crazy. Being a district leader is so much more work. I got 14 missionaries to look after and it's pretty tough. Here are the highlights from the week —

- THE SISTERS
So I was doing my standard call with a companionship of sisters one night... When I asked how their teaching was going, they casually mentioned that they were teaching the wife of a cartel boss. As I asked more questions, it became apparent that they weren't safe. The sisters said that the wife was told by her husband that if she met with missionaries from our church, he would kill the missionaries. To get around this obstacle, the sisters and wife agreed they would just tell him that they were students from a college. They asked me if this was a good idea. Ummm...NO! They started receiving threats and the girls were scared. So at 12:30 am, the zone leaders left to go retrieve the sisters, who were 45 minutes away. We had to stay up the whole time cuz we share a house with the ZL's and were in constant contact with them. They arrived around 2 am and we had arranged for the sisters to stay with our next-door-neighbor, who is a member (she is the best!). We had to talk to the sisters and make sure they were okay and see how they were feeling. That took about an hour and then we stayed up talking for a while. In the morning, my comp and I made everyone breakfast. Not gonna lie, it was so good. But we didn't get to eat any of it, so that sucks. But other than that, it's been chill.

- TEACHING
We got a lot of people progressing. We put three on date for baptism but now they are moving to the zone leader's area so they are gonna prolly baptize them. But we will still be able to see them at church.

Anyways, hope your week was as good as mine!

Love you all!

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 ...

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 ...
