Chicken at a fish place

We ate lunch at a weird Asian fusion place today and they served burritos so that's the first thing I thought of.

This has been quite a week.

It was really a bit of a blur, but Saturday was something else, let me tell you. Halloween... 

Oh boy.

So first off, we have the great... I'll call it a privilege, of doing a five hour deep clean of our apartment Halloween night. If your memory is good enough you might recall that last year I did nothing but scrub the bathtub in Oakland for two of those hours. This year it wasn't quite so painful, but there was indeed a lot to do.

But that wasn't the exciting part of the day. To give a bit of a preface, our mission president has been encouraging us to find more ways to find people to teach, and our district leader came up with the brilliant idea to host a free carwash. Our mission president, somewhat reluctantly accepted the idea, and presumably thought that it would not be the most effective way to use our time.

Well we got started, and once we got started... There was no looking back. We got dozens and dozens of people to come through. Oh my. We would give out a pamphlet to each person who came and we gave out close to 50 pamphlets and got at least 16 phone numbers. It was a big hit. We reported to president afterwards and told him that it was the most successful finding activity we've done since COVID-19 began.

But enough about that.

With the election nearly upon us there is some electricity lingering in the air, as if the city is anticipating disaster. We'll see what happens. There are whispers that they might keep us missionaries inside for a day or so afterwards, at least in the city. If that sounds extreme to you remember that they made us stay inside on the super bowl when I was in the middle of nowhere in Concord, so it's not too far-fetched an idea.

Anyway, that's all from me. I hope this nation still exists a week from today.

Bye.

P.S. How's Germany's rugby team doing?

P.P.S. Calm down calm down yes, I know that's not a spiritual question and that you don't care about rugby anyway and are now probably giving whoever's nearest you a lecture on how a missionary should never even mention something so vile as sports.
