well this was one crazy week that ranged from pulling pranks on missionaries to having a funeral for our pet cockroach. so to start off this week ill talk about transfers. we got a new missionary in the quad (if yall didnt know we live with 2 english elders) his name is elder wilson and he actually went to bingham with me. hes a real cool guy. so the sisters and us (my comp and i) decided to pull a prank on the nedw guy, he just stared his mission. so what we did was had the sisters go to goodwill and get a uniform for the local highschool and act like seniors in highschool. so when elder wilson was unpacking we heard a knock on the door and i asked him if he would go answer the door for his first "door aproach" and he went and answered the door and the sisters were there in the school uniforms without their nametags so they look like normal girls and asked if collin and chad were home. he said yes, then they asked if they were ready for the date and elder caldwell and i yelled downstairs saying that we are just getting ready. so we put on normal clothes and get ready. and right before we leave we ask elder wilson to take a picture of us for our "date" and then we told him to tell our ward mission leader that we will not be able to make it to the meeting that night. so we leave and after a couple minutes, i call our group leader and describe to him the prank that we just pulled and had him call the english elders claiming to be one of the girls father and that if they dont return home in the next 30 minutes hes going to call the cops. (now keep in mind we didnt tell any of the english elders what the prank was going to be so we hoped that elder strand would 1.realize that it was our sisters and just pretend to freak out and 2. not tell elder wilson that they are the sisters.) so after brother farrell called the english elders the english elders call us and i answer the phone and say "make this quick we are about to go into the movies" and elder wilson was like "there was this very mean guy who just called us and told us that if his daughters dont get home in 30 minutes hes going to call the cops" and after he said that i just hung up on hhim! so we then change and make our way to correlation meeting with our ward mission leader and we get there early so we could beat the english elders and when they walked in and saw us in our missionary attire elder wilsons face went bright red! it wsa so funny! id like to say that it was a pretty funny prank. alright so thursday was a pretty long day, we have a less active member who just got kicked out of her sisters house so elder caldwell and i helped her move out of her house and into her new one all day long. and it was so so so hot and if it wasnt hot it was a major downpour and we were freezing! so we spent all the day moving the stuff into our little toyota corolla to and from the other houses. needless to say it was a strange day. so we got home and were exhausted and freezing because we were soaked to the bone and our apt was like -60 degrees. so the sisters made us some chicken noodle soup to help us get warm! it was a very kind gesture for a hard day! so then on friday night we had a funeral for out pet cockroach. yup i caught it and fed it nothing but coca cola for 4 weeks straight. and then it died so i put on a funeral service for it. it was a pretty succesful night i think. we cremated it, but i spilt candle wax inside the pan where we burned it so i lost the ashes. her name was whitney houston. not much really happened on saturday but on last saturday we did a day of service to "celebrate" the 10th anniversary of katrina. it was pretty fun we just did a lot of gardening and i got a pretty bad sunburn. and not much else happened, yesterday i got tazed on the knuckle! one of the sisters in our district has a taser and she tried to tase me but i blocked it and got it on my knuckle! well thats about it. love yall. thanks for all the love and stuff that you do for me. elder horrocks
