Weird things we did in MTC..

So anybody thats even a little normal will think this is weird.. but it's something we used to do ALL the time and I guess it shoes just how bored you get in MTC and what things you find entertaining after being in the same building for 3 months straight!

Here is a picture of me and my MTC companions... Sister Prusse, Me & Sister Hynynen.. Behind us is another picture - of President Heber J Grant - this building was dedicated to him - it was called: Heber J. Grant (I'm pretty sure thats what it was called - must have been hard thinking up all the names)...

so anyway, everyday we would walk past this picture of him, and everyday we used to say hello to him, and then one day my campanions and I wrote a song about him. They really like the 'Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree' - although they grew up learning different words - I am not sure which one is correct.. but this is what they sang:

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree, eating all the gum nuts that do fall.. 

laugh kookaburra laugh kookaburra, 

gay your life must be.

we sing:

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree, 

merry merry king of the bush is he, 

laugh kookaburra, laugh kookaburra,

gay your life must be..

Maybe there is two verses.. I don't know. 

So anyway, this is the song we (they) wrote about Heber J. Grant - to the tune of the previous song... 

Heber baby sits on the old brick wall, 

reading all the letters that do fall. 

read heber baby, read heber baby,

(and I can't remember the last line)

If you are wondering why they wrote 'reading all the letters' - Sister Hynynen had a joke with Sister prusse that she had no one to write to except for Heber!! - so there you have it folks..... 

What happens after seeing the SAME picture about 20 times a day for THREE months!!
