20Teen

Well, well, well, this is about the third time I've tried to record this. The first time, I deleted it. The second time, it just stopped recording. So, we're just gonna go into it really fast, really quick. No jokes aside, actually, all jokes put to the side. There are no jokes anymore. I don't have time for this. What are you doing? What are you doing? And is that offensive? Anyway, so Monday night, well, actually, it was Monday morning. It was a good, nice Monday day. We woke up last week to go for a hike with this guy named Jose. He's really cool. He made some Jell-O with some cream cheese inside of it. It tastes so good. Oh, my companion doesn't like it. I really just don't understand. It's actually delicious. But anyways, we go on this hike. My companion decides to go up by a waterfall, and he slips and falls on his butt. Then later in the day, we're walking in Walmart and I'm like, "Yo, what happened to you?" And he's like, "Just dead." So he just has this giant headache. So I'm like, "Alright, we'll go back to the office. Maybe you're dehydrated because it was really, really hot when we were walking." So we get him some water and he just likes it and he's just like dying. Then we go to this member's house for dinner. You know, I'm not really scared of member meals anymore. That was probably my biggest fear when I came out on the mission, eating at people's houses. That's just super scary to me. I feel like I want to give a big, huge shout-out to Tyler Granados and another Donaldson. I feel like they really helped my eating habits. But not even like eating or anything, they just helped me mentally. I feel like I'm just a huge mental case. So, just shout out to Tyler Granados and another Donaldson. I feel like they were my two companions that helped the most. But also, big shout out to God because like Ether 12:27, that's a true scripture. Like if you bring your weaknesses onto Him, He will make your weaknesses strong, right? I feel like I can eat anything now. I'm not really scared of going to people's houses anymore. I don't really hide food in my pockets anymore. I've matured. I promise, maybe not, but like it's so... we walk and they just got this giant salmon. On a scale of 1 to 10, how is salmon? Like that was my first actual time trying salmon. I only had it one other time in Florida at my dad's place. But like I would say that salmon, on a scale of 1 to 10, it was like a seven. It was very, very easy for me to eat. But I just... like all I could taste was the butter that you put on it. And I don't have anything against butter. I just expected it to have more flavor. And then they make this super good fruit salad, but inside the fruit salad was just... they used strawberry yogurt as the dressing. I've said this like six times, it's so good. Like I would eat that again. And I look at my companion and he doesn't like it. I'm like, "Are you okay?" So I don't forget, so he runs to the bathroom and just throws up. And the members are just looking at me and they're like, "You, you're complaining, okay?" And I'm like, "I have no idea. I just kept eating. I'm just here. I just work here, man. I'm just here to try and share a message with you and eat your food, so I have no idea what's wrong with my companion. Don't ask me that. I could not tell you anything about that.” So, like, I was pretty sick. That was way late, and then I was like, "Yo, I guess we got to take you home." So then we like, come home and you just, like, lay on the floor. I'm like, "What is wrong with this dude? Why is he just laying on the floor? Like, I get it, you have a headache, but, like, you could, like, sit in a chair." But, like, oh my gosh, look at the price of that. Oh, I would old-fashioned way. I need you to give your perspective on the member, my wife, bro. I said thing like, I was actually sad for that member meal. Like, I was sitting there driving and I was like, "Bro, salmon would be so good," and then it turned out to be fetching, and then you didn't even eat it. I couldn't even eat, and then you just threw up, and, like, that's on you, sitting there. I was dying, and then I, like, you can take the salmon home, and I will tell Elder to, as the companion, I left it in the car 'cause I forgot, and then it expired, and I threw it away in there. He didn't even get it. It was a picture of me, like, before we even start eating, like, you can see that, like, I'm dead in my eyes, pale. He's about to, like, die and, like, yeah. And so I'm sitting there, like, picking at it, eating, like, literally, like, pieces, and then they're like, "Are you OK now?" I don't know. I'm not good. And they're like, "OK, you don't have to eat it." So I'm just, like, laying my head down. I don't even know why I'm feeling sick, and then he just, I start, like, drinking water, like, and then I knew, 'cause, like, I was drinking water and I got to the one point where I was like, "No, if I, like, drink it, something bad is going to happen. It's already in my mouth." So, you've got those, like, "All right," and then I just drive here and, like, yeah. And I thought he was gonna throw up on the tables, and then we're all like, "EL BAÑO," a sty, sty throw-up like that via everything in the entire world is throwing up. So, like, oh, you know how to stop anything. No offense, but, you know, how people, like, sneeze really loud? I feel like you're in the louder, you're the loudest throw-up or I've ever heard in my entire life, bro. I hate girls like your throw-up. Like, I don't know, it just sounds like he's screaming. Like, that's the loudest throw-up I've ever heard in my life. I haven't thrown up in years and years. Anyway, my companion throws up in the member's bathroom, and I'm just eating the salmon and the fruit salad that was, like, so freaking bomb. And I don't really know how to help him. I don't know what's happening. So then we just go home, and then we wake up the next day and he's his dad. Tuesday, let's just say consisted of him sleeping and me personally studying, and that's all we did. Tuesday took a pill and just died. Then Wednesday, Wednesday, I dragged him to the doctor. I found Canepa. I've eaten in the past four days. I've probably had over 150 Canepas, which is pretty sick. I really love Canepas. On a scale of 1 to 10, it's probably my favorite fruit. I would definitely say watermelon. Watermelon is up there, but I really love Canepas. But, like, Canepas are so good. The best way to describe it is it's like a grape you pop in your fingers, take off the shells, and there's a grape. But the grape is big and it has a giant seed, and it doesn't taste anything like a grape, but, like, the outside, like, they're, like, the stuff on top of the grape. I don't really know, it's not really like a grape at all. It's just a Canepa. I don't really know how to describe it, but I ain't like over 150. And then, like, this might be TMI, but, like, my poop has changed a different color. Anyway, back to Thursday, 'cause Wednesday I was just taking you to the doctor and eating Canepas. We go to the doctor, and, like, I really just pulled a Grandpa Dennis right there 'cause they're like, "Yeah, doctors and thrown is out of town down to Mike." Sitting there, like, my companion literally suffering, and you guys just ain't getting him into the doctor. So I was like, "Don't you guys got anyone that can see this dude?" And then he's just laying on the lake hair, and she's like, "What was your name?" And I gave him the thing. I was like, "Finally, something." And then they, like, go see him, then I can, we can recommend you an X-ray. Why would he need an X-ray? He still got a headache. He don't need an X-ray. He can't even lay up straight. Anyway, tomorrow of this pressure high, and then they told you you need an X-ray, and then that was it. But it's safe, we wasted, like, two hours, three hours in the hospital, like, the doctor's office to get told you need an X-ray for who knows why wrong. Anyway, I'm not gonna question. I'm not a doctor, so, like, I'm just gonna judge that they were, like, worried that you had a tumor or something like that. I have no idea, but, like, I think that would still be a CAT scan. I don't even think an X-ray would show it. So I'm so confused. I found, boom, you fell. Have fallen and I can't get up. Now I got cancer. I don't really know. I don't really know how tumors work, but I heard that they, like, I bet it could give a headache. So I just assumed that's, like, I'm just gonna give them to ride the benefit of the doubt and assume they knew what they were doing 'cause, like, I ain't no doctor. Then Thursday, we go to a Zoom conference. The Zoom conference was, like, we talked about, like, giving your heart to everything in the work and give it to God, which was pretty cool. It's pretty sure, like, President Skinner spittin facts. I mean, like, the heart is used so much in the Scriptures because, like, physically, like, I know, like, that if we give our whole heart to God, God will turn us into the person he needs us to be if we live in or if we're honoring our covenants, we're keeping the commandments, and we're just being righteous, good people. We will follow the Spirit as missionaries and find the people that are willing if we keep the missionary rules and we do all the good things. And we will have the miracles. Dang, speaking of, back to, like, food. Oh my gosh, tuna is so gross, guys. Like, I have never had a worse food in my life. And tuna from a can, like, that's the one thing I actually have tried and I just don't like. Like, tuna is just disgusting. Like, I will always, always say I hate tuna fish sandwiches. I hate tuna from a can. I hate tuna in salad. I hate tuna. It's disgusting. Anyway, back to him, back to what we were saying. We were saying something important. We're on Thursday about the heart, and yeah, that was pretty cool. Then we went to an English class, and we met this guy named Nossa. Nossa is from Jerusalem. He's Arabic, and he's Muslim. So that was, 'cause we taught him English, and then he, like, gave me, like, Arabic lessons in three seconds. And he was like, "I can tell that you really need help," like, talking to my companion Emma. Yeah, he really needs help. And then he's, like, happens to be a massage therapist. So then Friday, he gave AJ, my companion, like, a 30-minute nice physical, like, a doctor at massage, which is pretty sick. On a scale of 1 to 10, how good that massage feeling nicely? You put, like, nice fancy cream on your neck, too. Sometimes I was, like, getting destroyed, though, like, on the inside, but I didn't say anything because I knew it was for the best. Anyway, then, like, Saturday, we, like, invite the Skylar Miguel to church. And then, he has a Saturday night. He's like, "Yeah, I can't come." I'm like, "Bro, you've got to put God first in your life, or you're never gonna put God." Like, I don't care if your brother came in from the States. You come into the church. You promised God you would come. And he's like, "All right. I'll see what I can do." And he showed up to church. What a girl. Like, he really just put God first. Also, like, can we talk about something here? And we just talk about the fact that we went to Bahama Buck's, and then my companion's neck was healed on Sunday. Like, Sunday, he had no more pain, but we had the Facebook page, so I couldn't even go over door knocking. It's been over a week since I've gone door knocking, and it's so disappointing. Like, I'm disappointed in all of that. Back to the thing. The thing. What was I saying about everything? Like, moral of the story, this week was just like a giant disaster, but also like a giant miracle. If we had a good amount of people at church, like, it was a good week. I ate some nice salmon. My companion threw up in the thing. Fax. Back to it, this lady we met them idiots. We were knocking doors, like, two weeks ago in front of our apartment, and then there was this lady, I was like, "I have a letter for you," and then she was like, "Oh, a letter?" And then we knocked on the door, we talked to her, she was like, "Yeah, I'm a member. I'm here on a vacation with my family." And then she lives in like Brazil or something. She lives in Brazil, and then she was like, "Yeah, you guys can come over for dinner." And so we went over for dinner, and she just kept us at her house for five hours. And I just didn't even know what was happening. I was so tired. I was like, "Bro, I'm just gonna fall asleep." And then she gave me the food, and I was like, "Oh, I'm just gonna eat it." And then I fell asleep. And then my companion was sitting there talking to her, and she just kept talking and talking. And she was like, "Hey, she's like, you guys come back tomorrow for lunch." And then we went back, and then she kept us there for four hours. I was like, "Bro, how do you have time to just keep us here? We are missionaries." So yeah, that was our week. A lot happened, but not really. But it was a good week, yeah.
