so today i fed the missionaries some chinese food that i delicately hand made myself, it was good, but a humorous thing happened, another elder called them during the meal asking if they had found a watch when they left that he had left behind on a prior exchange. im pretty sure he wasnt actually yelling out of anger or anything, im sure it was mostly sarcastic but i could hear him from the other side of the room yelling that he 'wanted his watch back', cause 'since they moved to a new place and took everything that they must have it'. and poor elder de souza i dont know if he realized he was joking if he even was so i asked for the phone and my conversation with this elder jamison went something like this (it may be slightly different because i forget things, and i changed the other elders name to protect the him)...
me- hello, what seems to be the problem?
elder jamison (ej)- i want my dang watch back!
me- i guess i dont know about you, but i wear my watch on my wrist and when i take it off i make sure to remember it when i go somewhere right?
ej- who is this?
me- my name is nathan doyle, the missionaries are having dinner at my place when you called, youre quite loud, i can hear you from the other side of the room. now when i wear a watch i usually keep it on my wrist, you do too right?
ej- yes (i could tell he sounded a little worried)
me- so if you left it behind you had to take it off right?
ej- yes (i wonder if he thought i was going to call the mission pres)
me- so ill tell you what, if they find it ill have them tell you.
ej- i just wanted my watch back
me- well dont worry, im sure that if they find it they will let you know... ok?
(i hung up on him)
the greenie that was with elder do souza, elder zufelt or feltman or someting, im so bad with names, thought what i did was so cool and the greenie game me a high five. and they liked the food, so i was happy. the end.
