Bro this is why I hang out with you bro

ATTENTION ALL GAMERS

FRIDAY MAY 29TH. My boy Matt, my main village man. Turned 19. This guy has been a true homie since we met when we were like 10 or 11. Absolutely one of the best friends I'll ever have. Thanks for all the laughs and memories. Cheers boyo.

Monday

A very nice chill day, we did some grocery shopping, got some pizza, gave our sister missionaries blessings, gave them coffee creamer as well that keeps getting passed getting passed around different missionaries haha. Also something that makes me feel spoiled but is still nonetheless a blessing, the mission office was able to find an extra car and since we have been sharing 1 car between 4 companionships- 2 of which are sisters- they gave it to us so that's very nice.

Tuesday

Well let's see, it was quite a busy day actually! After lunch at like 2, we drove to Best Buy to find an item we needed, after finding out it wasn't there we went to the nearest Office Depot, which ended up in accidentally leaving our area so we turned around and went on a huge detour on the freeway, and finally made it to a different one. Then we went home real quick to grab something, then to Walmart to pick up a different item we needed, then home again for something we forgot, then to the ZL's to pick up something, then to the chapel that acts as the family history center. Then back to the ZL's to drop something off. THEN, Elder Thompson's uncle, the legend himself, ordered us Chinese takeout all the way from Arizona, so we went and picked up that monster order. By the time we got home it was like 8:45 haha.

Wednesday

For lunch we had our Chinese leftovers, which was basically another entire meal. We played some cards and then watched Baptists at our Barbecue, which I don't know if y'all have seen that but I mean come on. It was entertaining enough but it was absolutely ridiculous, I couldn't believe it. Then our DL called us reminding us for district council the next morning at 10:00. (See Thursday for more) Then we had a zoom call with the ward mission leader and all the missionaries in our ward. That night we went over to another apartment of elders and played cards.

Thursday

Alright so not gonna lie to you, we were just studying, and all of a sudden we get a phone call. My comp goes to pick it up. "Who is it?" I ask.

He looks up at me, as if he'd seen a ghost. "The district leader." I look down to my watch. 10:08. Oh no.

Run. Hide. Run. Panic. Stay calm. We don't answer and then absolutely zoom to get dressed. I got behind the wheel of that car and went absolutely as fast as the law allowed me to go. When we get there at 10:30, our district leader is greeting us and goes "Hey sorry I think maybe I told you guys 10:30 instead of 10." Then by the end of the council he had practically convinced himself that it was in fact his mistake... but I mean I wasn't going to say anything... to be fair the council was at their apartment and all 6 other elders live there and since we're all guys nobody cared haha. After Elder and Thompson and I got some food, then home to finish our studies haha. We did a facebook live English class at night, and after we watched King of Dreams.

Friday

Let's see here, we made German pancakes again so that was good, tossed some chocolate chips in there for some pizazz. I think there was too much sugar because afterwards our brains just shut down. We played some Book of Mormon cards for our daily missionary work (I'm kiddingggg). We watched a movie that night as well.

Saturday

We had a huge zoom call with every language speaking area in the mission, it was like 4 and a half hours long. With a lil lunch break in between. During lunch break we made a milkshake that was 10% yogurt, 10% blueberries, 10% milk and 70% ice cream. Pretty good stuff. Then some cards you know how it goes.

Sunday

We did sacrament in the morning today don't worry. I made my signature pastaroni, we had some French bread and a smoothie on the side. We're getting pretty serious. Then Elder Oyewole went and taught an English lesson! We were able to go to their house and sit on their porch. It was a sweet family from Honduras. It was so much fun to be out! Very rare haha. And of course we had a great spiritual message after. That night we had a house movie night. The Best Two Years. An absolute classic.

• Okay so while we were dropping something back off at the ZL's on Tuesday, the other companionship that lives with them were outside throwing a football with some kids that lived in the complex. Of course the first thing I did was get out of the car and sprint the opposite direction to catch a pass, and when I got back to the group, I tossed the ball *lightly* to one of the kids, like 11 years old or something. Well somebody needs to teach that boy to catch cause it went right through his hands and hit him in the face and now I'm being questioned by the police. The saddest part, as if I didn't feel bad enough, is that he then goes "I think I have to go inside now." Then just runs off. My bad bro.

• One night we were watching a movie, and it was pitch black. I got an email and I was look "Ooh I'm gonna check this email." I opened it and then the Gmail app just blasted my eyes with a blank white screen. I was thrown backwards by the sheer energy and bass that emanated from the screen. My pupils went from ● --> • real quick. I haven't seen color since then.

• One night, Elder Thompson and I combined 4 decks of cards and played a few of our favorite games. They just took 4 times as long. But as Mr. Incredible says, "yeah, I've got time." After that we covered me in cards and it was an emotional and beautiful artistic display.

• I don't know what happened but this week I started just having 1 meal a day haha. So quirky and funny I know. I just eat lunch and I'm not hungry at any other point of the day. I think I am dying.

Love, Elder Jerman
