"I Am Going To Tell You How I Tell It To Jacob, You Two Are Retarded"

I won't tell y'all who is responsible for this quote but I will say that Jacob is President Hurley's son :)

This week I laughed harder than I have in my entire life. I'll try to write out what happened, but my limited vocabulary and lack of writing skills won't do it justice.

On Tuesday night we picked up a missionary from the airport. The Hurleys were there to greet him as well. This missionary needed a place to stay and so we put him in a trio with our zone leader Elder Trezise. The Hurleys went in a separate car to drop off bags, clothing and bedding. Because it was already 10:45 at night the Hurleys said we could leave Elder Trezise's house and go home. They said they'd be out in just a little bit. As we are leaving we walk right past the Hurleys car and the thought comes to me, "Check to see if it's locked". The door was unlocked but the most surprising thing was that none of the interior lights turned on. Noticing that we HAD to capitalize on the series of events presented to us we hop into the car and jump and hide in the FAR back. Elder Cano and I were just giggling to ourselves knowing we'd get caught before the Hurleys got to the car. The Hurleys get in and just start having a little bit of a chat. (The lights in the car STILL didn't turn on.) With my eyes adjusting to the dark I looked over and could see that Elder Cano was about to crack. If any of y'all have ever been in this type of a situation you know what I'm talking about. He had his nose plugged trying to keep his laughs in but he couldn't do anything about his shoulders shaking uncontrollably. Knowing that we had to do something quick I very calmly but matter-of-factly propose the question: "So, where we goin?" 

It was at this time where everything became a blur. 

Sister Hurley in the front passenger seat lets out the biggest "WWAAAAHGGHGGGGHHHH" I've ever heard in my life. While she is breaking our eardrums President Hurley bears down on the steering wheel and just looks like he's holding on for dear life. While the chaos is happening in the front of the car, Elder Cano and I are VERY squished in the back but laughing VERY hard. 

President then decides he wants to get back at us, he skirts on out of the parking spot and gets into the neighborhood where there's a ton of round abouts and culdesacs. He shakes us up a little bit, I suffer a minor bruise from a bagel that went flying in the back and then he takes us back to our car. By this time all of us in the car are dying laughing. He thanks us for the boost of adrenalin and tells us to try and get some sleep. On the 7 minute drive home Elder Cano and I couldn't stop laughing. We still get friendly mom glares from Sister Hurley every now and then. 

Anywhoo, that was the highlight of the week. We got 20 new missionaries this week and they all are really good. Elder Cano and I are still together :/ 

I love Elder Cano, we work so well together. He's the best teacher, not only to those we teach but to me as well. I'm sad he's leaving soon. 

Here's some pictures from this week. We didn't take very many I apologize. 

1. Elder Nielson going home! (that man was trunked out. I love him tho)

2. Elder Cano and I are getting this 2020 van once it gets a TIWI in it. (we had to flex)

3. Jacob and Madison Hurley got a hold of the phone again

4. Instead of packing up their bags to get on the transfer train two missionaries decided to remodel a bathroom at our mission office. 

5. Elder Cano and I have been making training videos for all the new leadership we have in the mission. This will save us HOURS of meetings later on. 

6. "As missionaries we are politically neutral" But Jacob Hurley got this flag and wanted to take a picture with us. ;)

7-8. Presidents daughters wanted to stay up late but he said no. They said, "If you can pin us both in 40 seconds we'll go to bed." 20 seconds later they hung their heads in defeat and went downstairs to their room. Being in the Hurleys home is like a box of chocolates :)
