WEEK 78

This week was really good. Here are the highlights —

- SERVICE
This week we got to do a bunch of service. On Tuesday, we got to help one of our investigators clean out the area where his roosters lives. He fights roosters so he has to keep them super clean and healthy. It was basically just washing all their crap off and then their cages and food bowls. It was pretty fun. We got to watch 2 of them fight, but they were wearing protection on their talons so nothing happened. On Saturday, we got to put up Christmas lights for one of the sisters that got baptized. It prolly took like 3 hours, but the lights looked gorgeous after, so it was worth it. Plus, she made us a huge breakfast when we finished!

- CAMBIOS
Well my comp went home in time for Christmas, so now I'm in a trio with 2 other elders. On Friday, we drove my comp to Pachuca and got to see the other elders who were going home too. Then we came back and grabbed my stuff and I moved in with the other elders. It honestly feels pretty weird living with them but It's nice to always have 2 people to talk to.

- BAPTISM
On Sunday, Lucia was baptized! It was such a cool experience. Her 2 daughters were recently baptized and shortly after their baptisms, Lucia's husband died. She has been in a long process of learning and growing and she was finally baptized. The Spirit was so strong during the whole meeting, which was super cool. Now she is getting ready to go to the temple to get sealed to her family!

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 ...
