WEEK 50

Pretty basic week. Nothing super exciting, but here are some highlights —

-  SICK
I was basically sick all week. Felt like I was a dying dog. From like Wednesday night until Saturday morning I was so sick. We still went and tried to work, but I thought I was gonna pass out. And now the other three elders that live with me are sick too. So we will see how this week goes.

- SERVICE
This week we had a service project for like 5 hours. We had to pick out all the weeds from a corn field. It was two acres and it was so trying. All of the weeds had huge thorns and we had no gloves. So by the end of the project, my hands were bleeding so much and I had a bunch of cuts and scrapes. But we also got to eat tortas cuz that's what they do in Mexico. Mexicans are known to eat, drink and work at the same time. It actually amazes me how half of the people that are working are also completely wasted on beer, but they still work and do a pretty good job.

- INTERCAMBIOS
We had intercambios with our zone leaders!! It was super fun cuz I went with Elder Trejo. He's from Arizona and this is his last transfer. He's been having problems with his comp so I was trying to help him out with that. We had a pretty good number of lessons and had a family home evening. Then we got to eat tacos dorados which are like taquitos but just a lot better.

 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...

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 ...

Alright, this week was insane. Here are the highlights — - WEDDING On Friday, we went to Mexico City! We had two families that were gonna get baptized on Saturday, but they had to get married first. We went with the sister training leaders and got there at like 7:30 am. We had like 3 hours to wait so we went and bought some breakfast and then just walked around the city. By the time the weddings came, it was super easy. We first married Carlos and his wife and then Elizabeth and her husband. We went back home with Elizabeth and her family cuz they know Mexico City really well. It turns out though that we took the long way home. We first took a bus ride for like 1 ½ hours and on the bus ride, I had like 2 people try to rob me. Then we got off the bus in Tepito, which is prolly one of the most dangerous cities in all of Mexico! Missionaries aren't allowed there which prolly explains why everyone was just staring at me. Multiple people came up and tried to sell me their guns. There wa...
