Get Outta the Car
We did pretty much the same type of stuff as last week, so don’t get too excited. But we also got some fun stuff mixed in there too.
The missionaries taking over our other area, Forest Ridge, are gonna be staying in a hotel, instead of with us soooo…. sad days.
But anyway, we were cleaning up our apartment because we should, and I finally decided to replace the burned-out lightbulb in our main fan. So I have this dead bulb, and this clean countertop. I’m just spinning it on the counter like a Hanukkah top, because I could, and Elder Horne decides to take a video of it spinning in slow motion. So I ready up, and prepare to let this thing rip. Not a second after he says go, I spin the light bulb SO HARD that it launches off the countertop and shatters all over the hardwood floor like some kind of Beyblade burst. It was both hilarious and tragic, kinda like watching a chubby kid trip. So I just grab Elder Horne’s sandals that are right next to the floor, and start to sweep it all up. The problem was, this was like baby bear’s bed, because it was toooooo small, if you can catch these Goldilocks references I’m throwing. But yeah, we finally got it all swept up, and we even vacuumed the hardwood just in case.
Then, another day, we were driving to the church, and it’s a two-lane road, and in one of the lanes there was just a trash bag filled with trash. So I rammed right into it and– no, I’m just kidding. We drove past it, and I look at Elder Horne in the passenger seat, and ask him, “You ready to be a good citizen today? We’re gonna flip a U-ey and you’re gonna jump outta the car and grab the trash.” And he was just like, “Alright, fine I guess.” So we get back going up the road, and we pass the trash, and I peel right in front of it and slap on my hazards. He’s outta the car, grabbing this gross bag off the road, and throwing it into the back of our car, complaining about how orange peels were falling onto his hands. But we gun it out of there and make it to the church. Then when we get to the dumpster, Elder Horne goes to toss the bag in. Now, as he’s heaving it in, the bag rips open and trash flies through the air, going everywhere. So we then got to pick all of it up.
Then another day, during our little bit of outdoor time, we were throwing a frisbee around, and I decided to do what I did back in my FRISBEE GLORY DAYS, and try to kick it out of the air. That was the power move to do. You’re playing frisbee, and as the frisbee is going to someone on the other team, you literally jump kick it outta the air. Like, Mr. Miyagi style, it’s so cool! And the person that was gonna catch the frisbee is just WRECKED. They have no way to react. But I went to kick the frisbee out of the air when Elder horne threw it to my side, and like a cartoon banana peel slip, my legs swoop up into the air, and I just drop to the ground. But I kicked the frisbee. So it was well worth it. A small price to pay. And then I got my groove back, and I reverted to my mad kicking self once again.
Then, a different day in the week, we were driving, and we see some shape of something on the road, right before a stoplight. So we stop right next to it, and once again, I’m like, “Get outta the car and grab that trash off the road.” And Elder Horne is like, “Oh my nectors.” And he hops out and grabs that too. Turns out it was a neck pillow. So apparently, Oklahoma’s roads are a homeless man’s GOLD MINE, and if anyone reading this is scavenging for roadside treasures, swing by Broken Arrow.
So yeah, it was a pretty good week. Some fun times, for sure. Keep rocking it, everyone that reads these emails. If you let my email build up digital dust in your inboxes, I’m extremely disappointed and betrayed.
Over and Out
SHOUTOUTS:
- Kyer – This man is living life at home right now, waiting to be able to go finish his mission in CANADA. He started in Brazil, and now he’s going to Canada. You ever been called to a foreign mission twice? Well he has. He’s great though, and we’ll be finishing up our missions at right around the same time.
