WEEK 75

Had a great week. Here are the highlights —

- INTERCAMBIOS
This week we had exchanges. It was super fun! I got to work with an elder named Elder West. He's the district leader in Zumpango and is from Utah. It was kinda nice having a white comp cuz it's been like 9 months since I've been with a white person. We got to work a bunch and he prolly taught me more than I taught him. He's a super good missionary and he's gonna help our zone so much. In the mornings, we went and played basketball which was fun. I absolutely sucked cuz I haven't played in like 2 years but we're gettin a little better everyday.

- LEADERSHIP TRAINING
On Friday, we went to President's house to have leadership training. It was super cool to get to see how the mission is doing. In the training, they talked a lot about how every missionary needs to be converted before they can convert anyone and how knowledge doesn't mean that someone's converted. The Spirit is what actually converts someone. Also prolly the best part was that we got to eat lasagna and peach cobbler  — which was absolutely gas. Prolly the best dessert I've had here in Mexico.

- SERVICE
On Saturday, (I don't know if it was worldwide) we had a day of service in Mexico. So all of our zone and some members went and painted a whole school. We had to paint 10 classrooms—I'm pretty sure. There were 40 of us and honestly, it took way longer than it should have, but it was super fun. We went from 10 to 2:30, but it was fun being with all of the members and missionaries. And after we painted, everything looked SO much better so I'm glad we got to help them out.

Anyways, hope your week was as good as mine!

Love, 
Elder Fuller

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 ...
