Week 5 - Gummy Sharks Numb The Pain

April 22, 2021

Hola gente!

Welcome back to the ONE AND ONLY (haha just kidding there are thousands of missionary emails) SEMI HALF MONTHLY EMAIL OF

*drumroll please*

The Kobmeister

I've still had trouble tying those dang church shoes, I've completely switched to just slipping my feet out and using a shoehorn to put them back on.

Man, it has definitely been a week. Technically my first full week in the field, but it's definitely flown right by. I've done lots of meetings, lots of member lessons, and a bit of service. Right now I am currently sitting outside a greatclips, because my companion is inside getting his hair cut. I have to sit outside cuz of covid rules, and I'm wearing a short sleeved shirt and its slightly chilly. There's a dude over there playing the one Jason Derulo song on the violin that was all over tiktok a few months ago. Somethin love idk. I guess I'm just writing about my surroundings cuz I'm bored and don't have my journal to tell you more stuff that went on.

I really really hate this phone, I'm gonna be honest

the interface is whack, the typing and autocorrecting makes me mad about 700 times a day, and with how many people I try to reach out to over Facebook its just difficult. I am grateful I even have a smartphone tho, so I just gotta power through it, it's not so bad. I just hate it. :)

Speaking of Facebook contacting, holy guacamole, it is ROUGH. in the past 3 days I bet I've sent somewhere in between 50 & 100 friend requests, and then I've also been messaging each person individually after a day or two. Man its hard work, and I haven't found anyone yet. Lets hope I can get more people soon?

Im gonna tell you a little bit about Bill. Bill is a cool Chinese dude who owns a little restaurant, and every time we call him he says he's super busy, and hangs up. We went to go see him in person, and he didn't recognize us at first. (I want to note that its very obviously not busy at all in the store at this time). We intruded ourselves, and his reaction was the EXACT same as it was on the phone

. He said he was busy, said a bunch of stuff we didn't understand, and gave us each a water bottle then ushered us out. I had a really good feeling about Bill tho. I like Bill.

General conference was SICK. MAD bars were dropped. So much good stuff. I post about a little bit of it on Facebook, so go check that out if you want.

Theres a lady in the ward named Sister Taylor. She's this older lady, recently widowed. We've done some service for her and taught some lessons, and she's just the best.

We also did service for some people named the Minchins, and that was SICK. I got to use a sledgehammer to pulverize a wall. Frikin dope.

Alright, its been a long ride. Peace out dudeskis and chikas, love ya. Until next time,
