MEN IN BLACK!!!

So my sister Pua called me today and says... I got a call today from the Church Office Building they're looking for you! I was like...uh... the WHAT?! She tells me that her house phone rings and my 5 year old nephew Ikaika answers it. He informs her that it is someone he doesn't know. She gets on the phone, the nice Sister missionary introduces herself and says that she's looking for... Venice Elizabeth oh and please don't make me say that other name (she really did say that). Pua says that she doesn't need to even attempt my middle name, but that she is my sister. So the sister missionary says that she just needs my current address. Pua tells her that she could drive her there but that she doesn't know my actual address. Instead she asks if she can just get a phone number so that I can call her back.
So when Pua called to tell me all this... my mind is boggled!! THE CHURCH OFFICE BUILDING CALLED!!!! I just don't understand it. Why would they call my sisters house?! When I moved into my current ward I filled out one of those papers and put my sisters address cause that's where I was living at the time. BUT I didn't end up going to church for about a month because I was working. So when I finally went back the bishop informs me that I need to fill out a new sheet because he sent for my records but they never got sent AND since he had already sent for them he had thrown away the paper I filled out. So I filled out a new one and put my CURRENT address. They sent for my records and got them. But BOTH times that filled out the paper I didn't put my sisters number on it. I put my number on there... which btw has been the same since 2003. So now I'm REALLY confused. And if I had put mu sisters number I would've put her cell number not her house number. So of course my mind is racing... I can't figure this out. And now I've got to call the church office people back. I told Pua that I would come over to her house and then call them. Pua tells me that I also must make sure to call them back because she doesn't want them to keep calling her. Then later she offered to "loose" the number. I told her that wouldn't be good cause then they'll keep calling her and then she'll get mad at me and it'll just not be good overall. Then Pua and I started joking around and saying that they were going to call me on a mission... We know that you haven't actaully filled out papers for a mission but we've been inspired to send you on a mission to the middle of nowhere!!! LOL! Wouldn't that just be great... story of my life! BUT OH WAIT... it gets better!!! On my way to Pua's house I stopped at the bank and my sister Kahanu calls me. We start talking and I ask if she would like to hear my funny story for the day. So I start telling her how the church office called Pua. Then she stops me to tell me that THEY CALLED HER TOO!!!!! WHAT THE HECK!!!! So Kahanu tells me that they called her looking for me... and asked if she had my mailing address. She did. So she gave it to them. Umm.... talk about hunting someone down and getting things done! Apparently someone is looking for me. GOSH!!! Can I run and hide now?!
Good part... I guess I don't have to call them back anymore. Point of the story... if the church wants to find you... THEY WILL!!! They have resources for that kinda stuff!!! New rule... THOU SHALT NOT MESS WITH THE CHURCH OFFICE PEOPLE!!!!

ps I have another funny story to share soon... just gotta upload pictures... it involves ME being locked out of my car AGAIN!!!

What did you DO?

That would be most surprising if they give you a mission call... would be like the days when the church began... but then again... I think they would have been able to find you the FIRST time... HA HA HA!

Well make sure you keep us posted... cause this sounds like an interesting tale.

SO,what did they want?

Apparently they just wanted my "current address"... that's what they said anyway! I'm too chicken to call and see if they wanted anything else!!! They haven't called back since... So I'm just gonna leave that one alone!
