The Burn of a Potato

So I glocked a fly. That’s how this week starts out. I used this Nerf gun in our apartment, shooting at this fly that was flying around, and eventually it landed on the counter. I aimed and fired. After a blur of yellow, there was nothing but a little streak where the fly once was, with his body plastered on the wall behind him. It was a glorious spectacle to behold.

Oh, also, the ukulele is the easiest instrument to learn, if anyone is out there looking for a quarantine skill to pick up. Elder Horne taught me a couple of chords, and then Elder Nash (another missionary) taught me how to strum. Bing bang boom, I can play about 500 songs now.

Then another day in the week, we were calling these other missionaries, and for some reason we found out they had a bunch of potatoes, so of course I was like, “Hey, take a bite straight out of a raw potato, you won’t.” And then I got hit with the “If you do it, I’ll do it.” So I was like, “Alright, game time.” So we each sent a video of us eating a potato raw. And I will now proceed to recount my experience:
It was a sucky time. First off, I literally bit off more than I could chew. So I was crunching for about a minute and a half, until the raw potato was finally gone. And it tasted bad the entire time. So that was fun. Once it was finally done, I thought it was over. But it wasn’t. For some reason, my throat had this mad burning in it for like, the next THREE HOURS. I felt like ripoff Snow White, and I was about to enter the wildest coma of my life. But it eventually left, so that’s good.

Then we were also having this video call with a kid, and before we were able to start, he spent 15 minutes showing us his Fortnite skins, so that was quite educational.

But other than this stuff, not too much happened. We’re all gooooood, having a good time, teaching people, making videos, living life, and surviving off cereal and grilled cheese. Have a rockin’ week.

Over and Out

SHOUTOUTS:

  • Makenna – She asked for a shoutout, but gave me nothing to shout her out for. So I guess we’ll shout her out for just being a great person. She’s a blast to be around, has a cool older brother (My man Bryce), and is just straight up super great.
  • Elder Livingston – “Alright, what do you want to get shouted out for?” – Me. He just said, “Anything.” So I will shout him out for wearing flip flops right now, like a champ. He’s a cool guy, and he also has taught me some stuff with the ukulele.
  • Elder Horne – “You have to ask for shoutouts??” is roughly what he said after Elder Livingston asked for one. But yeah, he taught me the most common chords for ukuleles, and then sent me a picture of them, and lets me practice on his ukulele after hours.
