who's area is this anyways???

Hey everybody!!!

It´s been a way good week here on the mission!

A few funny little things that happened. 

Well we had mission counsel and it was really great. It gets crazier and crazier each session of final testimonies. This time i felt like i learned or realized how much I love the argentina mendoza mission. It really is sacred ground for me.

We also presented Mate de la Vida and that went well! I sent a picture of the stickers that we´ve been giving to members and will give to missionaries in the zone tomorrow. [This is the background from his letter a few weeks ago: "last week i recieved divine revelation. ´mate de la vida´. or the mate of life. like tree of life. Mate is a drink that everybody drinks here. everybody in a room shares the same cup, so as we were sharing the story of the tree of life with the fam correa last week, this idea came to mind, all of the members a more than willing the share mate with a friend, so why not the gospel. Right now we´re working on making a design of a sticker or flyer to give to members where the mate cup says mate of life,  with the straw of iron that lead to the mate of life, the herbs desirable to make one happy and the sugar most sweet and white that i had ever before tasted. hahaha. We have also created 1 Nephi chapter 8 according to elder garcia and elder fullmer AKA elder garcia and elder fullmer translations #apostasy #justkiddingmomanddad :)"]



On the way from mission councel to the terminal to take the bus back I saw 3 people from my last area. I felt like those were little blessings from the Lord. 

Then from wednesday to thursday we did exchanges. I was with a brand new elder from bountiful. Elder Cheney. It´s wayyy fun being with new elders. They´re excited about working and teaching and really give it there all! I really would love to train next transfer or if not, my last two transfers. But i´ll be happy wherever. We got to teach a few lessons. One of those was with the family aciar that i think i talked about last week. Way cool family and the parents have baptismal dates for the 20th. We were in their house about to start the lesson and then their little kid comes to the door and says hey mom and dad someone wants you and guess who was at the door!!! Two other elders in our zone!!!!!! haha they had shown up there with a councelor from their bishopric. They were looking for someone else but ended up knocking that door to ask for directions. So right now we all aren´t really sure who that part belongs to. Because in some of the maps it says its theirs but then the members from there are in our directory haha. It was like such a weird experience for them to show up there i felt like i was in a dream or something. It was funny, crazy and a little sad cause we´ve been teaching lots of people there. We had actually taught a lady that had accepted a baptismal date just before going to the aciar family. But we´re going to talk to the stake president cause the members here tell us one thing and the members in the other ward tell them somehting else haha. So we were a little bummed about that happening cause it seems like it´s probably theirs but the Lord sent us a couple of blessings. 1 we met a new family that used to talk to the missionaries. We taught 5 people but theres like 11 that live there. 2 it was raining when we left the lesson. I love the rain! It hasn´t rained for like 5 months or so.

So things are going well. We have a really busy week now. zone meeting tomorrow, zone conference on thursday and then stake conference friday and saturday!!! Lots to do!!!!!!

Love, 

Elder Fullmer

(Subliminal message that he needs some new pants.)

(Looks like skinny ties are in! Not sure what the brushing teeth is all about. Maybe just to let us know that he is.)

(He didn't include any explanation for this or the following.)
