16 April 1999

Something amusing happened this evening.  We were visiting Ricarda, one of our investigators.  Her seven-year-old daughter was there, and so were two less-active teenage sisters.  Elder Jones and I were sitting on a bamboo bench, and the older of the sisters in a bamboo chair.  After we had been there for half an hour, the younger sister sat in the chair with her.  SNAP!  The chair broke, and we all had a good laugh.  Half an hour later, Elder Jones turned to me and said, "Should we close with prayer?"

"Sure," I answered.

"Will you say it?"

"Sure."

"Maricelle, ampo na 'ta."  (Maricelle, we're praying now.)

crack-crack-SNAP!  All of a sudden, Elder Jones and I have our butts on the floor.  It was really funny, but I feel bad now, because that was the second piece of her furniture that has collapsed under my remarkable girth.

Elder Anderson just gave a banana a big kiss.  (It was messy.)
