Cucarachas and tarantula

So, since it's my last day in the CCM, I keep thinking of all the good times I had here.
 
Last night, I shocked one of my teachers--Hermano Palma. He said one of his friends who is on a mission Facebooked him and that is not good for missionaries. And I said, ''Este es el razón no tengo Facebook''' (This is the reason I don't have a Facebook) and his face was just shocked. Eyes wide open, he exclaimed, ''¡Yo no lo creo!'' (I don't believe it) and he just repeated it over and over and our other teacher, Hermano Polo, asked, ''Do you have..a life?'' I said, ''I'd like to think so.'' I thought it was funny.
 
Also, I remember teniendo divertido con cucarachas. :) Honestly, we've had so many cockroaches in our casa that..it's totally normal. Pretty much every day, we have found at least one cockroach, on its back, with different variations of twitching. The best memory is when Hermana Moleli and I worked together to get a live cockroach outside. Our other hermanas found it first, and they freaked out, so Hermana Pack grabs a bucket out of the closet and puts it over the cockroach so it wouldn't get away. Then, later, Hermana Moleli came and dealt with it. With brooms in our hands, I removed the bucket. It tried to scuttle away, but I flipped it on its back with my broom and Hermana Moleli swept it into the dustpan, still on its back. Then Hermana Moleli tossed it outside in the back. That was fun. I'm OK with not seeing cockroaches again, though..:)
 
I did, however, miss the baby tarantula incident, though, so this is from the other hermanas. It was late at night, and Hermana Pack moved the sheets that had been laying on the floor for a few days and Hermana Moleli sees a big spider scuttle away. She later showed me how big it was. It was almost the size of my palm. It was pretty big. Hermana Moleli killed it. May it rest in tarantula heaven..:)
 
Another fun memory...dashing through the rain to get to devotional. It was thundering and lighting flashed and it was a downpour, but we had two minutes to get to devotional, so we ran from one side of campus to the other in the rain, in the middle of the street so we wouldn't be hit by lightning (there were no cars, so don't worry). We did make it to devotional on time and we weren't that wet. For how much it was raining, I was surprised.
