This cracked us up. And tickled us. And warmed our hearts. Love this kid! His vocabulary and sense of humor and sarcasm is still going strong:
TITLE: "almost out of quarantine"
Aloha and good morning, friends and family! These past 2 mornings I have started out the day by listening to the tabernacle choir and let me tell you, it has been nothing short of life changing. It's impossible to be grumpy or unenthusiastic after listening to those bangerz🤧 Sooo on Thursday night I'll be set free from this mandatory 2 week quarantine and that night we're gonna have dinner at the mission home with President and Sister Walker, who I have come to absolutely love. President Walker is such a powerful speaker and Sister Walker is a doll, of course. Speaking of Sister Walker, she grew up with the dude from the Other Side of Heaven (Kolipoki, as my fam calls him) and he's gonna be speaking to our mission later this month!! Knowing how big of fans my fam is of those movies, I'm pretty excited for that.
When i do get out of this quarantine, I'll be serving on Oahu because there is actually another mandatory 2 week quarantine if you go from Oahu to any other island. so to avoid that, they're just gonna keep us on Oahu for the time being. I'll figure out where exactly on Oahu and who my companion is probably some time between Thursday and Saturday.
INSERT BY MOM: Two weeks in strict quarantine: the apartment was stocked with food and drinks. These four were roommates for 14 days and couldn't leave. Most were brand new missionaries, trying to figure out the work in a COVID quarantine.
I call this the 'Quarantine Quatro' bunch. At least they had a balcony to sit out on and enjoy the views!
That's pretty much all i have for you folks today. Almost burned down out apartment yesterday when Elder Chan was attempting to make some fried chicken on the stove top. a traumatizing experience for the poor guy, we love him nonetheless. I'm helping a ward mission leader in Seattle overcome an addiction. I'm messaging someone from Vegas named Olanzo just about the goodness of God, we'll get down to the nitty-gritty here soon hopefully. I commented on Justin Bieber's facebook and let him know him and his wife's baptism lacked proper authority. My Book of Mormon studies this week were phenomenal. I studied all over the place including Moroni 9 with my former Zone Leader in Vegas. Shoutout Jonas Nunn., fellow Texan! Moral of the story is I swear the Book of Mormon gets better and better every time I read it.
Can't think of anything else I've been up to. I had a quarantine 'stache goin' on, but I shaved it a few days ago. So far I've had pineapple, apples, strawberries, and raspberries and they all have been delicious. Can't wait to try more fruit. I live and breathe fruit. Anyways, aloha!! I'll see what pics I've got, but you truly can't expect much of me when we literally can't leave our apartment -- haha. Only a few more days left of this though and then I will be finding and teaching like an absolute mad lad. I'll include the screenshot of my comment on Justin Bieber's baptism post.
