WEEK 45

This week was pretty low key. We didn't do a lot but it was pretty fun. Here are some highlights —

- INTERCAMBIOS
I had intercambios with one of the companionships that were struggling. It was so much fun. We put someone on date and got 3 other new people to come to church. The Elder also had a crazy embarrassing moment, but I promised him that I wouldn't share the details. Just know that every time I think of the incident now, I laugh at loud.

- NEW WARD
Our ward was split! It's so cool to see the church growing. We had 220 people attend for 4 Sundays in a row. But now, we've got to cover both wards, a branch, and a group. Not sure what I'm supposed to do with that, but I'm sure I'll figure it out.

- NEW HOUSE
We also have to move houses cuz they made a rule in Mexico that there's only one companionship per house. Now I got so much respect for my parents who moved us a bunch. Idk how they did it. But we finally found a house after looking a bunch. The best part is that it's above a pizza shop and it's the best pizza I've had in Mexico. We already talked with the owners and made a deal that if we buy 3 or 4 times a week, we will get a discount so we're definitely going to be buying a crap ton of pizza. We move in next week so I'm not sure that we'll get a lot done during that time.
A quick side note — No one puts tomato sauce on pizzas in Mexico. BUT they will give you a side of ketchup so that if you want to add that extra special tomato flavor to your pizza, you can.

Anyways, hope your week was as good as mine!
Love you all!,
- Elder Fuller



This is the first counselor in the stake young men's presidency. We ate with his family.

I passed out when we were waiting for the other elders to eat

During intercambios, we bought some burgers and they were pretty decent. 
But then we were both in the bathroom for like an hour.

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 ...
