Back from finland and ready to rock!

i'm back from a weekend mission team trip that went awesome (as always) and now i'm all pumped to blog. there was nothing else really interesting that happened at the officer christmas party so i won't talk anymore about that, to time consuming. but i will tel you one interesting thing, i got a new fleece at the party! i love to wear fleeces, they're just so nice and warm. so thanks to the tyrells for the present. but anyway i am going to tell you in condensed form about my trip to finland. ok, ready, GO! friday went to finland, saturday did christmas party and did mission team party, sunday did church at russian corps and came home, monday back to tartu. sound fun? what? you want MORE information than that? how could you want more? well what ever, the reader's always night or gight or something like that.

so anyway on monday i went up to Tallinn and met up with all the cool mission team people and we all got on the boat, it was a fairly normal trip, we sang kareoke, danced in the danceing bar, and had fun dodeging drunk guys, which i personally think should be a sport. the only upseting thing was that in kareoke i was supposed to sing "yesterday" by the beatles with Anton and Ricky Martin's "livin' la vida loca" with Anneli but the stupid kareoke dude skipped them both. well at least i got to sing the titanic song with Anton. and believe it or not no windows shattered! and another thing happened on the boat, Sarah, Evelin, and I were in the dancing bar just chiling when this guy with a freaky dyed red gotee comes up to her and rattling off in finnish amd so she's just like "i'm sorry, i can't understand" but this guy was not so easily put off. so then he starts in english "please, you must dance with me, please dance with me!" and so she mumbled something about not knowing how to dance (LIE) and he keeps insisting "i don't mind, i can help you. i can teach you if you want, please dance with me..." and so seeing the desperate looke on her face i see that i have no choice. i did the obvious thing, i leaned forward and i sayed "i'm sorry, but she only dances with me!" trying to put as much of a threatening edge to my voice as possible and trying not to laugh at the same time. but then he did the funniest thing, he turned to me and on his knees started begging and so i calmly and coolly said "she doesn't want to dance with you, she only dances with me" and so, shooting me a dirty look, he stalked of back to his buddies to tell them of his loss, as Evelin said "thank you Chris, your my saviour" and i was just like "no problem, gimme five". and i tottally killed 2 birds with one stone, i both defended one of the most beautiful girls on the team and one of my best friends as well as making a wicked cool story to tell to all you.

well anyway that night of course nobody wanted to sleep so us boys decided to follow a old estonian tradition. in estonian tradition in all the days of december leading up to christmas "elves" leave candy in the slippers of the children. now since we were traveling we didn't have slippers but all the shoes were out in the hallway. so we made a unanimous decision at 2 in the morning after 3 games of uno and 2 bars of chocolate, we would leave cookies in the girls shoes as a surprise in the morning. now of course we had been told 3 hours ago to go to sleep, but since when has a room full of teenage boys followed the rules? so we attempted to sneak out but since when can a room full of teenage boys be quiet? cries of "TASA(quiet)", "OLE VAIT(shut up)", "SUU KINNI(shut your mouth)" and so on rang out as we tried to sneak out, but of course we got caught, or more like, i got caught. why did my sleeping mat have to be the one right near the door? you know, the one that the angry leader sees first?? well whatever, Kati just told us to be quiet and go to sleep, we didn't, but thats beside the point. eventually someone snuck out at 6 and played the elf but that was after i fell asleep.

well anyway *yawn* i don't think anything interesting is happening tommorow so i can finish this post then *yawn* Cya....ZZZZZzzzzz......
