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 without a phone. None of the other missionaries know so they'll prolly get mad when we don't answer them for 2 weeks, but honestly, I'm loving it here and I couldn't be happier.

- GENERAL CONFERENCE
Other than the fact that it used all of our data in 2 days, general conference was fantastic! I got to watch all 5 sessions and my favorite one was definitely the first one. The Spirit was so strong during the whole conference and there were so many members who were tearing up during the conference just because they got their prayers heard. After seeing such a small group of people with such strong testimonies, it completely changed my perspective. I definitely have a greater love for them and honestly would do anything for them. 

- WORK
The work here is going great! We had a baptism in our branch here, which was super cool. It was the first one they've had here in a very long time. We have 4 or 5 people that we want to put on date this week, which would be an absolute miracle cuz this area has not had many baptisms. We had a bunch of them show up to watch general conference, so hopefully in these next 2 weeks, we can get a few of them baptized.

Anyways, hope your week was as good as mine!

Love,

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 ...
