Going Full Grandma on a Fella

Well, we’re still out here working it. I don’t really know what exciting things happened this week, but let’s friggity find out.

…

I just friggity found out that nothing exciting really happened this week. Like, we are just doing regular missionary work and nobody is being crazy, it sucks.

I guess something that happened is that we went over and had a lesson with some people we’re teaching, and this lady just went full grandma mode on us. Now, for the uneducated, full grandma is when someone, usually an old lady, just gives you SO many snacks that you physically can’t carry all of it with your two hands. We were given water bottles, cans of soda, bags of popcorn, freakin ORANGES, everything a man could need. Then we just hauled our spoils to our car, and it was one of those moments where you only have a single finger at your disposal whilst opening the car door, so are just barely able to get the door open without losing your finger and dropping 14 metric tons of perishable goodness onto the ground. But we made it.

Hmmmm, let’s see… That’s kinda it actually. We’re still cranking out the work, doing that good stuff, but nothing super noteworthy.

Well dang folks, I’m sorry we really got nothing else for you this week. If next week is as dull an email as this one, I’ll think of some fire story from my past. But right now I’m low on time, so I gotta wrap this up like it’s Christmas. Thanks to all the real ones that read my emails, stay frosty.

Over and Out

SHOUTOUTS:

  • Ethan – My boy Ethan is back. He’s chilling back in Colorado, getting through school. He’s probably barely scraping through life by the skin of his teeth because he’s such a bumbling goof, but he’s still a real homie. Keep killing it my guy.
  • Eliza – My man Eliza, she’s sick. And now home from the mission. But not because of Corona. She finished 18 months, and is doing literally who knows what in New Mexico. No idea how the US ran out of names for states and just made another Mexico, that’s wild. But she’s great, and was one of the best leaders in my mission.
  • Austin – My guy Austin is going out on his mission now too. Supposed to be going to Chile pretty soon, he’s just waiting in another state, doing work over there until he can skedaddle down to South America. He’s a great guy though, and also continuing the tradition of having LITERALLY EVERYONE from my stake at home go on missions to foreign countries EXCEPT for me. It’s fun. They’re all gonna be speaking German and Spanish, Portugese and Samoan, all that jazz, and I’ll just be over here saying “y’all”, except I’m still refusing to introduce that abominable word into my vocabulary. So they’re gonna be bringing home foreign languages and accents, and the only thing I’ll be taking back with me is 40 pounds of pure body fat hoo rah.
