Week 53

What a week. 

Well I think the most interesting thing that happened this week was a fire alarm went off. at 2 in the morning. Ha ha Ok...so let me rewind back...so my companion and I have sleep overs...with ourselves in the front room every p day eve. So we pull our mattresses out in the front room and fell asleep like normal. 2 am, I almost peed my pants because the fire alarm was so loud. And to make it even funnier, we live in a handicapped room, so they make the alarm like 10 times louder, as well as they have these crazy strobe light things. So I wake up an start jumping out of bed, then I realize that I'm going to be freezing because its like 20 degrees outside, so I grab my blanket, grab my glasses, throw all of my other blankets on the floor, meanwhile, Sister Bost is stuck in her blankets, so she's trying to kick them off, but failing miserably, she finally jumps up, trips over my blankets that are on the floor, runs into the wall because of the crazy strobe lights going off. I'm trying not to run into the door because I also can't see due to the strobe light.

Finally we make it out into the hallway and it's completely empty. Not a soul in sight. The thought that ran through my head was, "oh no....someone's killed all of the residents and now they're coming for us..." ha ha so we start running down the hallways trying to find someone, ANYONE, and finally after about 5 minutes, old people slowly start filing out of their apartments, and into the lobby After probably 20 minutes, the fire department gets here. and we found out....that a sprinkler had caused the fire alarm. One of them just went off for no reason. 

So we all head back to our rooms. Its about 3 am now..we get back in bed...fell asleep....3:30 comes an another alarm goes off..ha ha so we again jump out the door, and find its another false alarm. We go back to sleep. and a random person that we know calls us at 4am. ha ha apparently we weren't meant to sleep that night. 

It was such a funny experience. The next morning all of the missionaries were in the gym an we just sat there, completely dead....ha ha no one even made an attempt to work out. It was so hilarious. we found out that one of the elders had completely slept through the fire alarm. WHAT?? ah aha it was quite the adventure, that's for sure. 

Last night I learned some super funny things that I hadn't ever heard before! It was about bananas. So in mexico they grow a lot of bananas on the banana plantation and apparently, in the store...when it has the different types of bananas, (valley, organic, etc.) its all the same. Literally. all of the bananas came from the same place, they were just given to different companies. even the organic bananas. there's nothing different about them. And then when they need another banana tree, they simply pick off a banana, and plant it. Yes. They literally plant the banana. 

Oh also!! On my homecoming...I have a couple missionary friends that already said they want to come up for a couple of days ha ha so we might have like five people crashing our house when I get back;) h ha

I also got to accompany someone for a musical number. Ha ha that was a random experience! 

Well anyyyywho, that's the craziest thing that happened this week! have a good one!
