WEEK 88

This week was really good. Here are the highlights —

- FARMING
On Saturday, we helped a man with his farming! We were contacting and we found this guy who needed our help in his fields. I got to drive a John Deer tractor to help gather all the alfalfa! Worked for like 2 and a half hours. We had to put all the alfalfa in a machine to form it into the right shape and then had to load all of them onto a truck. By the time we finished, I was so tired and just wanted to take a nap.

- MEXICO CITY
On Wednesday, we went to Mexico City with over 1000 other missionaries to see Elder Suarez! It was such a cool experience. The Spirit was so strong the whole time and I actually learned a bunch. A few members of the seventy also talked. It took a whole day, but it was so worth it. Elder Suarez talked about how we need to be able to find joy in missionary work or we're never going to be able to make a real impact on others.

- MISSIONARY WORK
When I arrived a couple of weeks ago in Presas, the whole zone was dead! Everyone was just sad and no one wanted to work. We've been trying to help the missionaries in our zone find joy in helping others. Even my area was dead so we've just been working a bunch in order to find new people. We got a few good prospects and we were able to put 3 siblings on date and then another guy. So hopefully we should be able to see some progress in our area.

Anyways, hope your week was as good as mine!

Love,
Elder Fuller

In Mexico City. Good luck finding me. It's like trying to find Waldo.
I'm wearing a blue suit & yellow tie and I'm not too far back on the right half. 

Great to see old friends there.
Elder Ricardez was my last comp and we worked a lot with Sister Waldo, who was the STL for our zone when we were comps in Tizayuca.

Great news! Abigail was baptized! Elder Ricardez and I taught her together.

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...

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 ...

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 ...
