May 1, 2023 THE HOPEFULLY NOT SO BORING ADVENTURES OF ELDER WILLIAMSON CHAPTER XXVIII

dodadooo.. dadodeedooo.. *played a lot of games with kids this week *i'm super poor, but i have like $2,000 or so built up in coins, so i've been using that *had an exchange with elder macdonald (which will probably the last time that ever happens) *i have been finding maria cookies in my clothing pockets all randomly *at first i thought it was my comp playing some kind of lazy prank on me *turns out the same thing was happening to him, and he thought it was me doing it *sooo we connected the dots like the geniuses we are, and realized that the only person with maria cookies is elder macdonald *and then also realized that he wasn't doing it consistently or anything, he had just done it all at once, and it took me like 5 days to realize that there wasn't someone just sneaking cookies into my pockets as i was walking around, they were just in my pockets when i was putting on the shirt *so anyways we made this connection finally, on the day that the other elders had to go to the capital *perfect day for retaliation *soooo we looked in the pantry for possible methods of getting him back *beans (probably too messy).. more maria cookies (pretty good, but overused).. dry oatmeal (super funny, especially if we put it in the pockets of his dirty laundry, and then he washed them, and then it turns into legit oatmeal.. again too messy) *so anyways we decided on dry corn (like popcorn kernels) *we put them evvvverywhere.. on top of the ceiling fan in their room (when they turned it on it rained corn).. in his shoe (just one of his shoes).. one in his deodorant (just one kernal).. a ton in his shirt pocket.. a ton in his pants pocket.. in his thingy of vasoline.. in his jar of shampoo (it's a mason jar full of shampoo, idk either).. some on his bed (but under the sheet, so you don't know till you lay down on it).. annnnd one maria cookie on his pillow just for good measure *so the point is, if i wake up dead one of these days (it was probably elder macdonald).. (probably not even on purpose, but because he took whatever prank he's gonna do back, way too far, and i end up suffocating under a giant pile of salamis or something *we also had a war with a gigantic bug that looked like a lobster mixed with a cockroach (see google photos for a video of me yelling at it, and us torching it to death) *we've had some super good lessons this week too tho, we're really growing this area (right as i'm leaving, which is how it should be, like leave it better than when you did be done finding it (i thing that's the boyscout slogan or moto or something (i'm not super sure, i think i'm still like a star or pear scout or something))) that's all tho.. love you guys.. do something christlike this week... alma 62:49-51 But notwithstanding their riches, or their strength, or their prosperity, they were not lifted up in the pride of their eyes; neither were they slow to remember the Lord their God; but they did humble themselves exceedingly before him. Yea, they did remember how great things the Lord had done for them, that he had delivered them from death, and from bonds, and from prisons, and from all manner of afflictions, and he had delivered them out of the hands of their enemies. And they did pray unto the Lord their God continually, insomuch that the Lord did bless them, according to his word, so that they did wax strong and prosper in the land.
