WEEK 69

This week was really good. Here are the highlights —

- SERVICE
This week we did a bunch of service! We got to help a woman clean her couch. A few weeks ago, we helped her brother with his couch. It was super dirty and honestly, it was really hard. After scrubbing for like two hours, my arms were dead and my knuckles were bleeding cuz of the friction with the couch. But we got to munch on some food after so it was worth it. Then on Sunday, after lunch, we were driving home and saw a couple pushing their car so we got out and helped them! We pushed for about a mile and just straight uphill! It felt super good cuz I felt at home again. It was so nice.

- INTERCAMBIOS
We had intercambios this week! I stayed in my area with an elder named Elder Sanchez. It was really cool to help him out! He has a good amount of time on the mission but hates talking and has absolutely no confidence in himself. So the whole time I helped him just talk with strangers and open up more. Than you know we had to eat tacos for dinner! I swear that's how I spend all of my money — just on tacos and other food.

- LEADERSHIP MEETING
We had a leadership meeting on Friday! Had to wake up so freakin' early to get there on time. But it was actually a really good meeting. I learned a lot about how we can help other missionaries and how we have to do everything with love. We also ate homemade American food for the first time in prolly a year, so that was nice. It didn't sit well with my stomach cuz they don't use a crap-ton of oil like the Mexicans, but it still tasted really good.

Hope your week was as good as mine!

Love, 
- Elder Fuller

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 ...
