The (Slightly Boring) Life of a Missionary

Missions are great, but missionaries get awfully bored!

I know I resorted to some pretty wacky stuff to stay entertained during my free time:

• Trying for hours to catch gophers on a string
• Seeing how many cheerios "our" dog could catch out of the air at once (...by the way, it was 8)
• Building a miniature wind-mill from a McDonald's toy and a dismantled CD-player
• Growing Ivan the Ivy (he was such a happy potted plant)
• Feeding our pet porch spiders
• Learning to solve the Rubiks Cube in 1 minute and 42 seconds
• Inventing a new martial art involving grabby things
• And, perfecting the art of rotating my thumbs in opposite directions at the same time (mostly while tracting)

As evidence that I was not the only missionary to get starved for fun, I cite the following video:
