WEEK 63

This week was really good!! We finally got to work in our area!! Here are the highlights —

- INTERCAMBIOS!!
This week I went on exchanges in an area called Zumpango. The exchanges went really well!! We found a family of 5 who are Buddhist but said they were gonna attend church and start reading the Book of Mormon!! We also put 3 people on date for baptism, which was really cool!! One of the people has been receiving lessons from missionaries for 25 years and hasn't been baptized yet!! Hopefully we can help him finally choose to get baptized.

- ROBBED
I prolly had the most Mexican experience possible!! We were walking in a dangerous part of town where missionaries aren't supposed to go. But we had an appointment to go visit someone, so it was worth it. I came in with the expectation that I was gonna get robbed so I wouldn't be caught off guard. Everything was really good. We finished the lesson, (which went very well, by the way) and we were walking out of the town when a military truck pulled up. There were 2 guys inside the vehicle and 4 in the bed with shotguns!! The guy in the front got out and asked if I had money. I said yes and he told me to give it to him!! I kinda hesitated but then 2 of the guys in the back pointed their AK's at me!! So I just gave them my money. He thanked me and then drove off. I don't know how I'm supposed to be safe here when the people that are supposed to protect me are the ones that rob me!!  

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 ...

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 ...
