Some Boomer Put Me in a Headlock

Italian, forever and always, is a work in progress. It's funny because I'm losing some of my English but I'm not picking up any Italian🤷 as Trump said "this has been the worst trade offers in the history of trade offers, maybe ever"

I'm trying to compliment people more because it's not very hard (both in a general sense and language sense) so this story starts in church. There is this member that's physical abusive but he's like 90 so it doesn't do much. Anyways after putting me in a head lock right as church ended, I told him I liked his tie. He wasted no time to take it off and offer it to me. I thought he was about to tell me to trade ties and I was about to put HIM in a head lock because I just bought the tie I was wearing. Turns out he's just real nice and gave it to me. He told me it's something i can remember him bye so I hope he's not thinking that he'll die soon 

Things stay dope with our homeboy Fabio. He was more than willing to exept the word of wisdom, chastity and tithing. We are trying to set a date for baptism soon because us Anziani are selfish😂 just kidding but we both want to be here before one us us gets transfered

I'm kinda weird: I like to think of myself in inside out (the movie about feelings) anyways remember the part with the core memories where the girl had around 5 yellow core memory balls and sadness started touching them and making them blue? Basically i just write down my core memories when I have them so I figured I'd share one I had a few days ago...

Match 18, 2022 in Monterotondo: Anziano Checketts and I are leaving the apartment and we are waiting for this guy on his scooter to pass us so we can turn left. This full grown man (50 give or take) had two airpods in jamming to what we guess was "superstition" by Stevie Wonder (or whatever it's equivalent in Italian would be). Anyways this mysterious man seemed shy as he was looking at us but as the time passed by... he saw my friendly wave coupled with our smiles from ear to ear and a smile bursed forth on his face and he couldn't contain the funk of the beat. He scooted passed us with a bright light, mouthing the words to his song. Once Anziano Checketts and I regained consensness, we saw him riding away with his foot tapping along to the beat. His vibe was immaculate and something that should be mirrored. I'm grateful for this man and his bright influence on my life

Just like my good friend Elder Reeves said, what a spectacular gift that life is! It's such a wonderful chance to learn and to grow and become like our heavenly father! "Life is a gift, and I do not intend on wasting it"... I'll give someone 5 euro if they can tell me where thats from

Italian for the week- "abbastanza" means enough or sufficiente so you can say stuff was abbastanza and it means that it wasn't good or bad. At least that's what I think it is

Con amore e gioia,

Anziano Lewis
