WEEK 90

Such a great week! Here are the highlights —

- PDAY
Last pday, we got to go to the zoo here! It was the saddest thing I've ever seen in my life. There were prolly 5 different animals. I felt bad cuz there were a pair of jaguar cubs just sitting in their stall bored out of their mind. So I broke a lil bit of wooden fence and started playing tug of war with them. They were surprisingly strong even though they were only 3 months old. We gotta see some peacocks, bears, geese from Canada, and reindeer. I felt bad for the animals but couldn't really do anything about it.

- INTERCAMBIOS
This week we had intercambios with Mixquiahuala. I went there with Elder Brienholt. It was a super good 2 days. My guy is insane. He is 24 and before the mission, he had a business that was making close to $1,000,000 a year. But then he decided to serve a mission and help the people here. Huge respect for him. We were able to put someone on date and had a bunch of good lessons. I also ate tacos for dinner and then twice for breakfast so I'm kinda done with tacos for a while.

- SERVICE
On Wednesday, we went with the sisters of Panuaya to go and bathe a pig. It was sick! I definitely want pigs when I'm older just so my kids have to learn how to work. It was insane though. The pig would not shut up or even stand in one place. I had to chase it down and tackle it. Then I had to lay on the ground basically spooning it to hold it in place for 15 minutes while my comp cleaned it. The pig also bit me which surprisingly hurt more than I thought it would. But it was super fun and hopefully we get to do it again.

- LEADERSHIP TRAINING
On Thursday, we had to go to Pachuca at night and stay with the assistants for our leadership meeting on Thursday. When we got to Pachuca, we hit up a Carl's Jr. and it was so good. No way I'm gonna eat it at home but on the mission, it tasted so good. The leadership meeting was good. I learned a bunch and left just wanting to work, which helped cuz the next day we were able to put 3 people on date for baptism. It was a really good meeting.

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 ...
