Ok that joke = NOT funny with the District Leader....like whoa. No sense of humor KILLING ME. He called us last night for our weekly report and he's like
"anything exciting this week?"
"yeah SO crazy, today when we were skyping our families for Fathers day....."
--"WHAT"
"just kidding." laughing......
.........silence......
"oh not funny" <--addressing the awkward............
.................STILL SILENCE.
"ohhhk....well anyway our week..........awkward awkward no recovering ..... ok yup keeping the rules......k bye."
So yeah. People here are just like COMEDY HOUR ALL.THE.TIME.

Zone Conference this month = ROAD TRIP?????? is this even legal!?!?! no idea. But we are straight like polygamist van-ing WITH PRESIDENT driving down to Wichita (like 3 hours away) staying the night frolicking around and then on the way back going to the Temple!?!?!? SO.AWESOME.WANT.TO.DIE.
But actually I'm pretty sure they are trying to soften the blow of the MISSION SPLITTING ON MY BIRTHDAY!!!! thats right, on.my.birthday. RIP
So yeah, we sing I'll Go Where You Want Me To Go....................like a lot.
But nothing for sure yet........................................#prettysureiminWichita <---OMG WHAAAAT if that was on my call letter. #wouldnthavecome JK but maybe not.............? haha no but really i am SO excited for whatever BUT the one thing is THE KEYES = (misison presidents) i seriously love them with all of my heart I would pretty much sell my soul for them both and maybe even get my eyes gouged out and tongue cut off if it meant that I could just spend a full day with them. He seriously is the most amazing man on the earth. FUTURE PROPHET, not kidding.
