Drunk Guy at McDonald’s 10/14/24

 






Hola todos! Hopefully you all had great weeks. Before I came on the mission, no one told me how fun this work is. When you're wearing a tag and walking around the most random things happen to you.


We were kind of in a boonies area and one of my comps had to use the restroom, so we pull over at a McDonald's. This McDonald's was packed for no reason and it was active. Like 7 PM on a Thursday and people were legit going crazy in this McDonald's. Anyways my comp gets to the restroom and I'm waiting outside for him with this other Elder who is on an exchange with us, who doesn't know Spanish. This Hispanic homeless guy comes up to us and immediately starts belting some catholic hymn as loud as he could and talking to us in Spanish about how he loves Jesus. About 30 seconds into the conversation, I realized he was freaking wasted. I'm still gonna chop it up nonetheless. However, it was super difficult cause he slurring everything and it was in Spanish. 

By this time my comp comes out of the restroom and the Hispanic guy tells us he's sick and and has no money, so my comp asks us to pray for him to which the guy starts screaming the catholic hymn as loud as he could in the middle of this packed McDonald's. We fold our arms to pray for him and the guy grabs all three of us and pulls us in to do some hug group prayer thing. He then starts singing praises to the Lord in this McDonald's. He had been touchy the entire interaction, but during the group prayer he starts grinding up on my comp's leg pretty hard-core and I was starting to loose it. He progressively got crazier and crazier on my comps leg and Elder Baxter was taking it like an absolute champ. I was starting to loose it though and then some people on the other side of the McDonald's yell, "AYO WHAT THE (f word), WHAT THESE (n-words) DOIIIN?" I lost it.  We were LDS missionaries hug praying with a homeless guy who was humping the said missionaries leg in the middle of a McDonald's. Definitely the best thing to ever happen to me and the people in the McDonald's were going crazy for it. To make the situation even better our exchange comp realized the Hobo peed himself at some point because he had a huge stain all over his pants. We ended up buying him a Big Mac cause he peed himself and he said thanks by singing his hymn. 10/10 contact

I'd like to add that I seriously lucked out with my trainers. On your mission you call your trainer your dad and so luckily for me I have two dads. I work hard with my dad's every day and we just have so much fun spreading the message of God's love. Couldn't have asked for a better trio.

Overall, Florida is great and I'm excited to spend the next 22 months here. I'm constantly meeting the weirdest and nicest people, whether I'm knocking on doors or doing service. If someone's not nice more than likely they do the most random thing ever and we get a funny story out of it. 

Invitation: give a homeless person 5 dollars

Remember you are loved and life is good

Peace and Love,
Elder Adamson

We Out Here 9/29/24

  Hello, everyone. I hope you are doing well and prospering in the USA. I'm in Mexico right now currently in the Mexico MTC and I'm learning how to be a missionary and how to speak spanish. So here's what I've been up to week 2. I flew to SLC and my flight left at 5:30AM so I had to be to the airport at 3:30. The only eventful thing to happen at the Sac airport was this chick with throat tattoos pulling up on me at four in the morning to tell me she hates Mormons. I was like bruh I just got here. Anyways we talked for an hour about being LDS and music and then this summer sales bro joined the conversation and we talked about canadian celebrities. When she left, she told me I was the chillest Mormon she'd ever met so hopefully that's a good thing. When I got to SLC I was put on a plane with a bunch of missionaries also going to the Mexico MTC. I met my district there and we all clicked pretty fast which was awesome. There was like 150 missionaries on the plane an...

Segunda Semana en el CCM

(My friend Amelia) Scripture someone showed me after the accident  (It rains every evening) (Elder Johnson and I)  What’s up everyone. This week was a weird one for sure. After being here for a while, my district and I have realized that every district has a weird identity. Por ejemplo, you have one district that just yo-yo's all day and talks like frat dudes. There's another district that's lowkey ghetto and just hacky sacks all day in a circle with earbuds in. We're pretty sure they just listen to Pop Smoke(rapper) because they rap along to Woo Baby bar for bar with earbuds in. But for the most part, people are awesome and talking to people here is so fun. They're from all over the world and it's so hard to not walk around and just talk to random people all night. There's definitely been nights where I've done that though haha.  I do not like singing, but this week we decided to man up and go to choir practice for funsies. It went terribly....

How you say broke in Spanish? Me no hablo.

  In Kanye's legendary album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Ye drops one of the hardest lyrics of all time: "how you say broke in Spanish? Me no hablo." Kanye is refering to his extensive wealth and the fact he doesn't speak broke. It's a double entendre(I think I spelt that wrong) because Kanye is also saying he doesn't know a lot of Spanish. That is what Kanye and I have in common. I literally don't know how to say the word "broke" in Spanish. I don't know how to say a lot of words in Spanish and currently that's one my many challenges as a missionary. I grind and grind words throughout the day and Spanish study, so when it comes time to some lessons I can apply them. Then the lesson comes and I'm still reduced to talking like a preschooler. Ever since I've gotten to Florida this has frustrated me and I have been doubting myself and abilities. However, on Halloween we spent an entire afternoon trying to find people to teach...
