Also,
the girl next to me is my AMAZING companion, Sister Carlson! I love her
SO MUCH, as I have probably already shared. She is the greatest!
I have very very limited time to write today, unfortunately, but I do need to include one story...
Yesterday, the greatest
thing ever happened during sacrament meeting. The announcements had
already been made, but the bishop paused and whispered something to his
counselors, who looked up towards the ceiling as he spoke. The whole
congregation was confused as to why the service had been put on pause.
Then the bishop went back up to the microphone and explained the
situation...
"Not to alarm anyone," he said, "but there is a bat in the light at the back of the chapel..."
The
chapel has these HUGE hanging, domed lamps, and sure enough, as the
whole congregation whipped there heads around, we could see the distinct
outline of a small little bat flitting around in the dome! The glass
was too slick for him to climb out, so he was just hanging out in there!
The whole congregation just started busting up laughing. It was the
most unexpected announcement the bishop could have made!
When
the laughing died down, the bishop went on and said, "Well, moving
right along to the sacrament!" which started another round of laughter!
It
was so absurd and unexpected. After church, we helped some men get a
HUGE ladder up in the chapel, and one man picked up the bat with a glove
and put it in the bag to take it to a safer place. It was just so odd
and hilarious.
Sorry I can't write more, but know that I love and miss you all! Here's my Facebook thought of the week!
Have a fantastic week!
<3 Sister Christiansen
