WEEK 70

Alright, I pretty much forgot what happened last week, but here are a couple of highlights —

- ZONE CONFERENCE
Zone Conference was super good! I learned a bunch about how to be a better missionary and how to help more people. They focused a lot on the Atonement of Jesus Christ and that really helped me understand more about what a missionary is supposed to do. The zone conference was so long though, from like 10 am to 7 pm. By the end of it, I was tired of sitting down but I learned a lot. And we also got to munch on some tacos that were really good and then after, we got to eat pan de muertos. It's just a bread they eat to celebrate The Day of the Dead, but it's super good. Tastes like a cinnamon sugar bagel.

- INTERCAMBIOS
I also had intercambios with some elders. It was actually super cool cuz I got to go back to my first area. For lunch, we ate at Burger King, which tasted really good. I never tried it at home, but all of the Americans say it's way better in Mexico than in the US. I also got to visit a bunch of people I knew from the beginning of my mission. It was actually nice to be able to talk to them cuz I speak a little more Spanish now. I got to know a lot of them better in 1 day than I had in 6 months there before! Also, I had to show everyone how to sing by singing a solo in front of all the YSA and youth in their ward. I didn't even know I knew how to sing but their young women's president liked how I sang so she asked me to teach everyone how to sing. Maybe I untapped a hidden talent.

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 ...
