Kricket Killers

Well, it’s gonna be a quick one. So pretty much everyone we’re trying to get in contact with out here isn’t answering us, and the ones that usually do are moving away. So we’re just pushing forward. Still a good time though!

Something fun we did: we found this little book in our apartment about how to fold dollar bills into airplanes. And not like paper airplanes you throw– we’re talking B-22 Stealth Bombers and WW2 fighter planes. And then we kept ’em in our car until we found the next homeless person begging for money, which didn’t take long. So we gave her the COOLEST 2 dollars she’ll ever get.

I think she was more confused than anything when we handed her these professional grade paper planes. She probably wanted more money too, instead of just 2 bucks, but you know what they say, “Beggars can’t be choosers.”

Then we also had to bike to church, since we can’t just drive a car around willy nilly, and I realized that it had been a while since I broke the bike out, so my back tire was outta air. But I didn’t realize that until we were over halfway there. And if you didn’t know this, you will now, if your back tire is practically flat while you’re biking, it slides around on the ground a lot, and you pretty much drift as you take turns. Wild stuff. But then we walked our bikes home at like 8 o’clock that night.

Then on another night, we found the FATTEST cricket of my life, and when we realized it, Elder Miller, without hesitation, grabbed the frisbee we have, and just threw it right at the cricket, TRON style. And somehow, he hit it. Then I went over to finish the job, and was trying to throw this deflated basketball at it, but it was too close to the wall from the time the frisbee knocked it over there. So I had to lay a napkin over him and run him over with the vacuum wheels. Now, I love Nestle crunch, but that was SOMETHING ELSE. It was loud, and it was NASTY. I never want to have to do that again. Good golly.

Then we had this thing called General Conference this weekend, which is where a bunch of the leaders of our church spit straight wisdom to the world, and share really good messages. 10/10, recommend you check it out. But our mission President’s wife asked for all the missionaries to get pictures of how they were watching GC, and with whichever person was speaking. So of course we decided to get a picture with literally everyone that spoke. So that was fun. And then they also showed a picture when talking a little bit about missionaries having to come home from foreign countries because of Coronavirus, and they LITERALLY USED A PICTURE WITH ELDER MILLER IN IT. He was freaking out for the next 20 minutes, it was insane. That’s the closest thing you can get to being famous in the church. It was pretty cool though. He’s also got a rad hat on.

And that’s about it for the week. Thanks for tuning in, and I guess we’re doing ANOTHER RAFFLE next week because time is flying by way too fast down here. Anyways, have a good one guys.

Over and Out

SHOUTOUTS:

Elder Miller – This man was on a worldwide broadcast, and the fame hasn’t got to his head. Way to be humble my guy

  • Since we took pictures with LITERALLY EVERYONE that talked in General Conference, the name is number 26.
