Caprs

Literally the most exciting thing that happened was us lighting the oven on fire. That’s pathetic. We can do better.

I mean, we’re working hard with missionary work, and it’s amazing, but like, the same exact email of me saying “we did missionary work” sounds like it would get a little boring. We’re having some sick lessons and helping people fix their lives, but that’s kinda what we do every week. Don’t get me wrong, it’s rad, and I love doing missionary work, but I’m also hoping for some more exciting things to write about in these emails.

Ok wow, I just found something that is more entertaining. So have you ever heard of the Capri Sun challenge? I’ll explain it anyways. So, the name of the game is: Drink 15 Capri Suns in 15 minutes. Sounds like an easy task right? And I don’t know about you guys, but I can down a Capri Sun in a matter of seconds. That’s some easy stuff.

But that’s where arrogance gets the best of everyone. And when you do some deeper research, you find that the average Capri Sun pouch holds 6 fl oz. Now, 15 Capri Suns, that brings us to 90 fl oz. And a gallon is 128 fl oz. Common knowledge. So we know that it’s not an entire gallon, and since the Gallon Challenge is a recipe for failure, the Capri Sun challenge seems like an actually achievable feat. But let me tell you: It’s borderline impossible. I was not the one to do the challenge, and I don’t know if I should be proud or disappointed with that fact, but we ended up telling another missionary about it, and he was so confident that he could do it. Now, his name will not be disclosed in this email, but he’s a shorter fella. Like, 5′ 6″. And he started out SO SURE that he could get this done, but then he started, and got to 11…

His confidence was waning faster than the moon. He tried to keep going, and he made it all the way to 14, which was incredible! But… it took him an hour and 10 minutes… so it’s still written as a failure in the book of life. And then he promptly threw up. And it sounded like a straight waterfall. I’m sure it was 95% Capri Sun coming back out of him. And after he ejected about 5 pouches, he proceeded to pound 2 more down, and finish at 16. But I say it only counts up until he throws up. You can’t fill a gallon bucket with a gallon of water, dump half of it out, then fill it to the top and say it can hold a gallon and a half. But still, it was quite entertaining. If anybody out there is finding their days not filled with enough excitement, I might just suggest it to you.

Other than that, I got news if I’m staying here or not, and I am, so that’s cool. Still gonna be with Elder Grace, so nothing new. He’s cool.

That’s just about it, I’ve got nothing else, and I’ll catch you guys next week.

Over and Out

SHOUTOUTS:

  • Classical Music Composers – Have you realized that the OG squad of the 1700-1800s wrote these MASTERPIECES that have literally just stuck around for generations. And like, nobody is making classical music anymore (at least that I know of). And most people know these champs by name. What a bunch of legends.
  • Sister Stephenson – She calls Capri Suns “Caprs.” It’s wild. But she’s way cool and really funny.
