A Few Days Late

From the mission president's wife:

Sister Fillmore,

I'm writing a quick note to you to let you know that Elder Fillmore is fine but they had a zone activity in Guanajuato and didn't have a chance to write. You should hear from him tomorrow. And also, he is just an awesome missionary. We are so blessed to have him in our mission.

*So grateful for other moms in this world -SF

We went to Guanajuato for a zone activity Monday and got home way late and when we got home we had interviews with president so yeah it was a long long day. President gave us permission to write though so here I am:) It was sweet though, we went to a mummy museum and visited the city and its super sweet, hopefully i can serve there one day. And bad news though is that I lost my cord for my camera :,( I cant charge my camera or upload fotos. We´re going to the Tiangis this week though to see if we can find one there and if  not I think I´m going to sell my camera and buy a new one. Hopefully I find a charger, haha. But this week was good. My district of 6 beat the other district of 10 in our zone in a contacting competition. And my 6 was actually 4 because one companionship is fried and they don't do jack squat. But the 4 of us killed it this week and it was a great time and we found a ton of new investigators so I cant wait :) this week was also really nice because we've gotten a little rain every single day so its nice to have a change of weather :) I cant believe Ive been out 7 months, its going crazy fast! I'm glad everyone is doing well back home but I´m kind of bummed Blake hasn't done his papers yet. He needs to hop on it because the mission is so rad. So I was thinking of sending a package home but I have yet to find a post office place here in Salamanca so I might have to wait until I get transfered:/ it´ll be sick though, But yeah, we got permission to write home and say we´re still alive so here it is:) I love you so much mom!<3 Thanks for everything! Keep being you:)

Con amor,

Elder Fillmore :)

Salamanca or Smellymanca?

Hey friends and family! All is well here in Salamanca, except for the smell that is. Here in Salamanca we have the biggest petroleum refinery in all of Mexico and it smells wonderful. Sometimes I want to walk around with a clothespin over my nose but that´s unprofessional so we don't do that.  But seriously that´s the only bad thing here. We already having success here. We started teaching a family of 4 and they told us how much they love this gospel and they also came to church this week! If all goes well we will be able to baptize them this change! We also met an old lady named Ingracia and she loved our message and our first lesson with her we invited her to be baptized and she accepted! The field is white and ready to harvest here in Salamanca and I´m excited to be a part of it.

So this whole District leader thing is different. I had to give my first district meeting on Tuesday and I felt way unprepared but I felt the spirit guide me in my words and I know that the Lord was helping me. I know that the Lord makes weak things strong and that He will help us in all aspects of life if we ask Him. He has already helped me tremendously and continues to do so everyday. I´m so grateful for this gospel and am so glad to be sharing it with others. 

Thanks everyone for the prayers and support, I love you all!

P.s. sorry no fotos this week, I left my cord in the house :(
