LAST WEEK

Started my last full week as a missionary. Here are the highlights — 

- BAPTISM
This week, we had the baptism of Andrik, Emily, and Kimberly!! It was super cool cuz we got to do it in a lake. The Spirit was so strong and Emily was bawling her eyes out after. I'm so grateful I was able to be a part of their baptism story. It was prolly one of the biggest miracles that I have seen on my mission. They were baptized in less than 3 weeks. Their parents are gonna get baptized too but the dad first needs to divorce his first wife then the parents need to get married. 

- S'MORES
On Wednesday night, we went to Angel's house and made s'mores with him and his family. They always talked about making s'mores and how they had seen them in movies. They weren't exactly the same cuz we didn't have graham crackers or Hershey's cuz they are expensive here, but they were still really good. The family was super happy. Was super nice to see them all happy for the first time in a long time.

- CHURCH
This week, we had 34 people at church!! It was super cool to see everyone there. I'm gonna miss this place a bunch cuz everyone here has so much faith. They bought me a few going away gifts so that was clutch and we had a little party after church to celebrate.

- MY MISSION
Well, this is officially my last email as a full-time missionary. I'm so grateful for these past two years that I have had to preach the gospel. I know it is the best thing I could have done and wouldn't trade it for anything. I know this is the only true church and the only church with the power to bring us back to God one day. I love my Savior and I know He lives. I know that with God anything is possible!
En el nombre de JesuCristo, Amen.

See you all in a few days!!

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...

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 ...
