WEEK 82

This week was really good! Here are the highlights —

- FHE
On Tuesday, we had a Family Home Evening with the ward. There were prolly 70 people there by the time we finished. We talked about how to be a good person and the Spirit was so strong. We had kids 12 and 14 year olds who were crying. It was such a cool experience to see how many hearts were touched and changed. We followed the lesson with an activity to show how much we need everyone and that we are stronger together. And afterwards, we munched on some bread and milk.

- LEADERSHIP MEETING
This Friday, we also had our leadership meeting at President's house. We talked a lot about how important obedience is and how God blesses us when we're obedient. They also talked a lot about how everyone is watching us as missionaries and members. And we need to remember to be an example to others. We ate some spaghetti with meatballs and bread. Honestly, it was prolly the best pasta I've ever had here on the mission. Then we talked to President a bit about a few issues and then hopped on the bus to get home. It was a super long day. We arrived at 9 and left at 6:30.

- DINNER
On Sunday night, we had all of the elders in our district over for dinner. We played UNO for like 2 hours and only got two games in. I swear, they've got so many types of UNO in Mexico that I've never seen and this type took like an hour. It definitely got a little competitive and there was a lot of arguing but it was actually pretty fun. Then, we munched on some chilaquiles that my comp and I made. We accidentally made it way too spicy. We never tried it before we served it to the other elders. Everyone ended up dying from how hot it was and we went through 3 liters of milk with just 6 elders. Then we munched on some dessert, played more games, and then had a long night of reporting.

-FRIENDS
These past few weeks, we have seen so many miracles. Like for some reason everyone we have been teaching or were teaching is now ready. Like some girl's boyfriend dumped her, so now she can get baptized. And another guy just changed jobs so now he can go to church. A lot of small things have been lining up so we have been able to put a lot of people on date. I prolly won't be here for a lot of their baptisms, but it's just nice to know that they are gonna get baptized.

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 ...
