A nother week down & another email titled after ethan. he is a very interesting guy. this week was a wild one !! I got to celebrate my 20th birthday and I can honestly say, it was the best one I have ever had. I was able to spend it with some family who live in Lakewood && my zone spoiled me with 3 different surprises ahahah too good of souls. 1. They snuck into our apartment and decorated it along with cupcakes & treats. 2. They got me a card, cake, and a lovely potato to remind me of home. 3. They all set up a zoom call to sing happy birthday 🥺💕 Sneaky. But sweet. After this the week started to slow down and we got to go to dinner with Ethan and we asked him to bless the food and thats where this infamous title originates. Then we had the next day filled with meetings from 9am - 9:30 pm. It was so boring. We had a training about asking questions and I hated it so I stopped listening about 10 minutes in & grabbed my pillow and blanket and took a nap. Then we had

I finally had my embarrassing moment on the mission . . . I was talking to a group of sisters & our mission presidents wife and I was telling them my companions favorite quote when we leave an event, "let's make like a baby and head out" but instead of saying that I said, "let's head out and make a baby" but to make it worst I didn't even catch what I said until 15 minutes later after everyone was done laughing & separated so I couldn't redeem myself . . . I regretted my existence in that moment hahah but thats totally fine !! another funny thing is that my comp & ethan were comparing arm muscles and he called her muscles "speed bumps" and idk why that was the funniest definition to me hahah & the reason why its titled bonk today is bc ethan gave me the nickname bonquiqui bc i had my hair all braided & we did role plays in zone council so they used that name but some couldn't say it so they call me bonk instead lol b

Wow this week was veryyyy slow. we went on exchanges and i wish i could share the full details but that day was all sorts of tiring !! hahah but i got to stay in el dorado with sister mattice & sister miles and it was such a party !! we honestly didn't have much to do besides discuss a lot of things !! but on Wednesday my comp had to help another sister out so I had to train all on my own and it was fun but definitely weird hahah . . . other than that we got Ethan to come to church && as good as it was...he joined on zoom and blew up the zoom chat and after the speaker was done he commented "praise JEEBUS" so you could only imagine how hard I was laughing in the pew of the church building hahahah I cannot with him. we had hung out with him on Saturday night and got some Mediterranean food & it was so Gucci I havent had a good meal like that in so long, it was NICE :')  but one thing I have really come to realize is how inadequate I am :)) I do not know
