Starved for Entertainment

On P-day afternoons we go to the temple. So I went last week and this afternoon I'm going too. One of the Elders (Elder Draper) was sitting in the chapel, ready to go in, when he got a bloody nose from the dry air. It got all over the Book of Mormon he was reading and a drop got on the carpet before he made it to the bathroom. Haha, oops! When he and his companion came back he told one of the temple workers, and they cleaned it up. He handed one of the old temple ladies the Book of Mormon and told her that he got blood on it. "Oh don't worry, we'll clean it." The elder continued, "no no, I don't think you understand. Look at Helaman 1". She did, and it was really bad. "Oh, well, we'll throw it out and get a new one then." Haha, poor elder! I also had my sickenss this week. It's a known fact that everyone that comes to the MTC will get sick. I think it's because we live in such a tight little bubble that we develop our own strain of diseases. I got a nasty cold, but it's all gone now. I blame the Australian Elder in my classroom. He brought over some crazy Aussie disease. You know, like when the Europeans came to America and shared the small pox and such. Elder Lawry, the Aussie, thought it was very funny. So I had a fever for about an hour, took a nap, and was better. I went through about 2 tissue boxes. Gross! My nose looks like Rudolph. But I am better now. The reason I stress that I am better now is because my Branch President, President Bird, said that we need to not tell our family when we are sick. He said that if we do, pretty soon the whole ward will think we are dying of swine flu. Haha, so don't start that rumor! We, as missionaries, are starved for real entertainment. We have resorted to Laffy Taffy jokes. Suddenly the most retarted jokes in the whole wide world are the funniest things we have ever seen. Every Sunday night, we watch videos like "The Testament" and the Joseph Smith Memorial Video. I (and everyone else) thought these were the most boring church movies ever, but suddenly when Joseph kisses Emma for the first time the whole auditorium goes "OhhhhhhhHHH!" In The Testaments, there is a part where the bad guy (with the ridiculous head thing) says, "you are a spectre from the gods" and that is probably the most quoted line at the MTC now. You have to say "spectre" just right, with a crazy Australian accent if you are Elder Lawry, or a southern accent if you are Elder Saunders. So please send me Laffy Taffy jokes, or some other form of (missionary approved)entertainment. We are so deprived. Oh, and there is one elder, Elder Jensen, who is the new Chuck Norris. Have you heard of Chuck Norris jokes? If not, you should look them up. Well, "The boogeyman checks his closet for Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris checks his closet for Jensen Choro." Choro = Elder. "Jensen Choro eats kittens for breakfast". Etc, etc. When we play games in class, it is team Jensen and team Jensen Choro. Jensen Choro hasn't decided what he feels about this yet.
