"WHERE ARE YOU?
AND I'M SO SORRY
I CANNOT SLEEP
I CANNOT DREAM
TTOONNIIGGGHHTTT"
-Miss you by blink 182
That's the song of the week... just because we constantly belt out that part of the song in the most ridiculous exaggerated way. (Ifyou know the song you'll understand why that's funny cus he is super whiney to begin with haha... but for anyone that doesn't like punk rock, you probably won't wanna hear it. sorry grandparents.)
This week has been pretty good. Lots of funny things have happened, so I'm just going to get down to it because let's be honest, all you guys wanna hear about is the funny stuff we do. Everything else is boring missionary stuff!;) But I will tell some spiritual stuff at the end so you think I'm at least doing some missionary stuff heehee
So when the new elders showed up last Wednesday, we wanted to think of a good prank, so we decided we are going to tell them that it's an mtc rule you can't show nipples. We all got in on it and are playing it off really well. We wear our towels like girls. So when we saw one of them with a shirt we would tell them very seriously how we know it's kind of a stupid rule, but they really push exact obedience here so we try to follow it. and it has been working! heehee. Some of them have started wearing their towels up high, and when someone doesn't we call them out on it and they remember and quickly cover up. It's hilarious. We are trying to get them all to believe it so when we leave, they perpetuate it with the next elders.
Thr byu boys choir. It was way funnier than it should have been. Some of the guys in the choir were so ridiculously enthusiastic. It was so funny. Then they started clapping and went all gospel. Don't get me wrong, they were ridiculously good, and some songs were super spiritual, but we couldn't help but laugh at most of it. We are terrible people haha.
Update on mi compañero... he is a legend. This whole week, he has had a cold, and he hoks loogies into napkins like a maniac! It is ridiculous! We call it the dragon cough because he sounds like a flipping dragon breathing fire! It is also hilarious because hermana durston sits right next to him in class and she gets so grossed out every time. Very comical.
Also, he sleep talks every single time he sleeps it's fantastic! He goes into rem sleep like, within thirty seconds which is freaky. His eyes go crazy. The best story about it is one night when he was sick, we're all sitting there, and he just mumbles "I'm gonna down" so I ask him why and he says something like "the water is coming in, obviously." Lang says, "I'll pass you abooie so you don't drown. sleeping dyerly just says "uuugggh you're such an idiot" so iall him where we are and he says "we all live in a yellow submarine"... which makes sense cus a booie wouldn't do anything in a submarine haha. Then we decided to try and change his dream so we told him he fell in a well, which worked! Then after a little conversing he we figured out he was now at his house and we told him we were robbing him blind. He tried to barter with us and we ended up buying his TV from him haha. Sonehoe the story escalated and we ended up killing him in his dream which was crazy because when that happened he jerked awake! We were like wwwoooaaahh we killed dreaming dyerly!! So apparently, when you die in a dream you do wake up. Kinds awesome, but we also felt really bad and decided not to do that again.
Oh then he dropped a can of soda in the classroom and it exploded all over everyone! it was crazy! So yeah, mi compañero is pretty legit.
The best quote of the week is from Lang... we had taco bell one night, which he hated with a burning passion. so he got soup instead. Then he says to all of us... "I'd rather kiss a dude and eat this chicken noodle soup than eat taco bell!!" All of us instantly stopped eating and looked at him like WHAT!? you're crazy!!! It was pretty funny. He won't be let off the hook for saying he would kiss a dude.
I played violin this week, that was awesome!! I'm going to play in sacrament this week, so that will be great. It was definitely "novocaine for my soul"-eels.
I also got a uke this week. that was the best! The night I got it dyerly was super sick so we went back to the dorms around 7. I got to just chill and jam till 9:30 when everyone else gets back. It was the best thing ever. (probably should have studied or something but it was the first time I held an instrument in a month!!)
Okay so now for a few spiritual things I guess;)
I got my first baptism commitment! Her name is Patricia and she is a real investigator we have been teaching. (I'm like 99% sure she is. We teach people, and don't know if they're already members or not. But I have the feeling she was for real.) It was an awesome experience!
Last night, we had Elder Holland come for our devotional. that was the. coolest. thing. ever. He gave the entire group a blessing. He said it was as if he was putting his hands on each of us individually. It was so awesome!! and his talk was the best. He talked about the importance of the book of Mormon. .. the same topic as my farewell. He did a much better job. Then he used Alma chapter 26 all throughout his talk, which was the chapter I spent half an hour studying that morning for personal study. Those two thingsmade me feel prepared for what he had to say. It was awesome.
Anyway, there's a lot of other funny things I could talk about but I'm finding that they aren't as funny when I try to write about them haha so I'll refrain;)
I love you all! till next week.
