WEEK 55

These past two weeks have been super good. Here are the highlights —

- BAPTISM
We had the baptism of Mayra and of Oscar & Miriam!! The baptism of Mayra was a miracle. She needed to get married and the missionaries have spent the last three years trying to persuad them to marry.  We just showed up one day and asked them to get married and they said YES!! I definitely learned from this experience that God's timing is perfect!!
Oscar & Miriam were a miracle too!! Their dad was baptized thirteen years ago and then went inactive. He felt the need to come back and sent us a text!! Three weeks later, we baptized his kids and are just waiting for them to get married so we can baptize his wife!

- TRANSFERS
We had transfers and there's not much to it!! I had my fifth transfer here in Actopan!! But I'm super happy cuz I love it here and I'm so down to just buy a house and live here. But they also cut my district in half so now I only have six elders instead of eight elders and six sisters!! It feels so nice to not be stressed!!

- SOCCER
One of the companionships of sisters (before transfers) had a soccer activity with their ward and they invited us. There were prolly like fifty people there and it was super fun. We played soccer, basketball and volleyball!! I also may have met my future wife playing!

- TEMPLE
On Saturday, we got to go to the temple with Miriam & Oscar and their parents!! It was such a cool experience. We only went to the visitor center, but we could feel the Spirit so strong!! The family said they are 100% getting sealed in the temple and they are gonna try to do it before I leave so I can go!! But it was so cool to see how much of a difference one trip to the temple can make!! And also on the ride home, we got to watch a Spiderman movie, which was actually a lot better than I remembered!!

Anyways, hope your week was as good as mine!

Love,
- Elder Fuller

So many came to support Mayra.

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 ...
