WEEK 65

Last week was pretty good. Here are the highlights —

- MEXICAN NIGHT
On the 15th of September, we had a Mexican Night in the stake for Mexican Independence Day!! It was supposed to start at 6:30 pm, but because we are in Mexico, it started at 8 pm!! It kinda sucked cuz we had to be in the house by 8:30 pm and a bunch of missionaries came from far away so they didn't get to enjoy much. We helped set most of it up and then had to go. But the other set of elders got to sleep at our house that night. We ate like 45 tacos and drank 6 liters of coke! There were only 4 of us!! Then at like 10:30 pm, we worked out and then got hungry again so we went and grabbed ramen and ate that. We ended up going to bed at like 2 am. The best part of the night was definitely at the house, not at the Mexican Night.

- TRIO
This week I went to an area and was in a trio! It was actually really fun and I'd be down to be put in a trio for a few months!! We saw a bunch of miracles when we were there! We got to put three of their friends on date and hopefully this week, they can put two more of their friends on date. We also got to go to a funeral for one of their friends who passed away. He was Catholic and the Catholics here are kinda weird. At the funeral, they put the casket in the car. We walked behind it for so freaking long (I think I missed 2 meals) and then finally we got to the cemetery. We then sang a bunch of hymns and the Spirit was super strong. Hopefully the mom and sister can accept the gospel and an invitation to get baptized.

- LEADERSHIP COUNCIL
This week we had to go to Pachuca for a leadership council!! It was pretty fun. I got to see a bunch of elders and hermanas that I haven't seen in a long time. We talked a lot about the Atonement of Jesus Christ and how we can use it in our lives. I've learned that it is the greatest gift we can ever have and that it can help whatever problem we have!! It definitely strengthened my testimony.

- BAPTISM
We had the baptism of our friend, Alejandro!!  He is the husband of a less-active sister. Actually, they got married on Friday so that he could get baptized! It's been super cool to see how much his life has changed in like a month or two. His baptism was so cool. He had a bunch of family there and the Spirit was so strong. Baptisms are easily worth all of the work we do! It's so cool knowing that we just helped save someone!!

Anyways, hope your week was as good as mine!

Love,

How cool is this car? Our patriarch is in his 80's and drives it to church every Sunday.

...so we both got a buzz cut.

Elder Berquist came out to trio with us. 
Surprised a lot of people since we were comps in this area — at this time, last year.



Alejandro was baptized!!

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 80

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 ...
