Ok, so here is a funny if not unusual missionary story. One of our "bombers" and his companion decided to make some cookies and then go caroling. In a normal world, this would be a great thing to do. But it went somewhat awry when they chose a retirement home and went inside to sing, only to discover that there were stars of David around and no hint of Christmas decorations. They had picked a Jewish retirement center by mistake. LOL. Only those two...

Elders B & B Thanksgiving Story

Here is a story from "day 363" of Elder B's letter. He gets into such funny situations and has a really funny delivery of the stories, so we really have a good laugh and he loves it!
He says:
First, I have a story from last week that I forgot. While at the VanNatter's house for Thanksgiving, we were given four frozen squirrels, which had been skinned and gutted, but not washed enough, as they still had hair in some places. Elder B. really wanted to cook them, so we put two in a pot and boiled them, because we misheard the cooking instructions. They were really creepy looking when they were finished. I peeled all the meat off and put it in a sandwich. Elder B. put barbecue sauce on his little friend, and ate it like chicken. I think eating it did something to his head, because ever since, he's been plotting to kill the squirrel that lives in the tree in front of our apartment.
