Another true one:
Two missionaries go to Sacrament meetig. They were great buddies who liked to pull tricks on each other. One Elder had a tendency to fall asleep during meetings.
So it is fast Sunday. No sooner does the meeting get started good, and the elder falls asleep. It is a fast Sunday, and testimonies are being borne. The companion nudges the sleeping elder, and whispers, "Hey, Elder, the bishop just called for you to say the closing prayer."
So the sleepy elder stands up, goes to the pulpit and says a benediction.... closing the meeting that had just gotten started. His companion almost falls off of his pew laughing!
No one had wondered what was going on because it was testimony meeting... so having someone stand up and walk to the pulpit was not surprising at all. Only that he closed the meeting.
After it calmed down in the room, the bishop called on someone else to say a new invocation, and testimonies commenced again.
I bet the mission president had something to say about THAT one.... if he could keep his face straight long enough!
