WEEK 101

Was such a great week! Here are the highlights —

- WORK
This week we had a lot of work! We found a few new families and they're all super promising. We played a bunch of sports too. We gotta play some soccer and basketball, which was pretty nice. One of the families also taught us how to prepare a pig to eat. You gotta shave it, then cut it open, then take all of the organs out. It was really cool and they said they're gonna invite us over this week to munch on the pig. And they say next week, we can do a chicken or cow so hopefully that happens.

- PACHUCA
My comp finally got his visa after 4 tries. We've been to Pachuca 7 times in the past 7 weeks here, which kinda sucks cuz that means we basically missed a full week of work in our area. But we got some McDonald's and it was really good. I just got a McFlurry but my comp got a whole meal and everything. It was also cool seeing a bunch of other missionaries cuz that doesn't happen here in Zacualtipan.

- ACTIVITY
On Saturday, we had an activity for all of the youth. We went to the same park that we ate at last Sunday. We played a few games and we also got to play soccer. A few of the kids are good so it was pretty fun. They had a spiritual thought and we also ate some hot dogs and hamburgers. They were really good. The only bad part was that the way there and back was a winding road and we had to sit in the bed of a truck so I got pretty sick and so did everyone else. 

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 ...
