WEEK 98

These past 2 weeks have been really good! Here are the highlights —

- VISA
Since my comp is new, we've had to go to Pachuca three times to get his visa! And all 3 times, he couldn't get it, so now we gotta go another time and hopefully it works. It sucks cuz it takes a whole day. It's like 3 hours to Pachuca and 3 hours to get back. The only good part is that there's tv's on the bus so we've been able to watch a few movies. Last time, we watched Moana and Guardians of the Galaxy. I don't remember what we watched the other times but it's pretty relaxing. And there's usually no one on the bus so we get to sit wherever we want. 

-INTERCAMBIOS
This week we had intercambios. I went to Molango with Elder Morales. It was kinda nice cuz I just got to follow him around and for once, I wasn't in charge of doing everything. We had a bunch of good lessons and the food was really good. It sucked cuz I left my bag with all of my clothes in it at the bus stop, but luckily after intercambios, we were able to find it!

-BAUTISMO
This week, we had Angel's baptism! He's a 10 year old kid whose mom is a member but his dad isn't. They weren't active before but a few weeks ago, we met them and now Angel is baptized. It was so cool to see how his faith can help his family. They are going through a lot of problems but he set a great example for his family. His dad wants to get baptized too, but he needs to first divorce his first wife and then marry Angel's mom since they live together.

- ACTIVIDAD
On Monday, we had an activity for the new missionaries. It was a 3 hour bus ride to Pachuca. We started with a devotional and then after ate some hot dogs and hamburgers. After eating, we got to play volleyball, ping pong, and wiffleball. It was kinda nice to just have something to do on pday and see some other missionaries cuz here there ain't absolutely anybody. Plus , we gotta watch 2 movies on the bus so that was nice too. 

Anyways, 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...

WEEK 80

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 ...

WEEK 14

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 ...
