[Giovanni Schwartz]

I knew some missionaries who kept a pet lizard. They named it after themselves. And then it died, so they kept a pet spider. And then it died, too.

I spent a follow-up consoling them over their loss, once.

[Craig Jessop]

There are guys in my ward who have one pet chicken for each of them in the house. They're named after their mothers.

[Giovanni Schwartz]

then there was the sister in the ward who was pre-mission friends with one of the elders, so she knew about the lizard, and then one day she told me about how she kept a pet turtle in her bathroom on her mission for OVER A YEAR. Until her mean companion told her she had to get rid of it.

One area I was in had a piranha in the apartment.

[Talons]

Were these all in your mission Giovanni? I always thought Taichung missionaries were the most righteous.

[Giovanni Schwartz]

Ha. The turtle was before we were righteous. (It was like 10 years ago). The lizard... that senior companion later became AP.
