Use Your Imagination

Well, it’s been a whole week. So much has happened. But only the good stuff will make it on this email. On a positive note, some members told us about their friends, and we found out that they’re both outside of the area we have, so we get to give them to other missionaries. But hey, still a good thing. Even though our numbers look bad, we’re doing good.

We’ll hit some brief, vague highlights that don’t really have a good story, and are better left up to the imagination:

  • Accidentally insulted the lineage of an Apache missionary
  • Learned about obscure Monopoly strategies and how to win (there’s skill in that game?)
  • Elder Lara explained to me how this member gave him crystals to draw energy out of
  • Went to the police station
  • Fed 5,000 kids
  • Our closet literally collapsed
  • Slept in a mattress sandwich
  • Almost got attacked by four massive dogs
  • Saw a lady protesting by holding a bag of trail mix
  • Elder Anderson popped his bike tire

Yeah, not really anything that I could turn into a story, but stuff happened. Did the normal stuff like going into houses that smelled like weed– which reminded me of the Colorado homeland– and biked for like, 2 hours straight. It was a good week though.

Ok also: So this is just practically fact, or Jesus is covering my eyes. There are no hot people in Oklahoma. Very very few. Now, I don’t know if it’s just that they have no genetic lottery winners, or since as a missionary I can’t date, so I’m not on the prowl. But yeah, there really aren’t very attractive women here. God knew I’d end up getting those digits for after the mission, so I guess that’s why I’m here in Oklahoma. Out of sight, out of mind. And I don’t know anybody from Oklahoma, so hopefully nobody gets offended at that comment.

Well, we also got some pictures of my sick homemade costume.

SHOUTOUTS:

  • My sister Kyra. She didn’t ask for one but she’s really really awesome. She goes to college at BYU and is, like, my favorite sister. Even though she seems shy, she’s actually crazy fun if she’s hanging around people she knows.
  • My brother Alex. Also didn’t ask for a shoutout, but nobody does anymore I guess. He is rad. Like, even though we’re pretty different personality wise, I have a blast with him. He’s also going to BYU and once you get to know him, you’ll get what I’m saying.
