Its a Lance Friday...(Both of them)
Add any stories you have about Lance!
Ah Lance (Sorry Lance, only picture I had of ya...) Good ol Lance, always there with a smile on his face... Mild mannered Lance. The funny thing about Lance, is the first story I think of about Lance (OK the second too...) Lance wasn't even there. Let me expound.
We were working unassigned Territory in North Dakota. During the Thursday meeting, A sister had a demonstration and in the demo she said she was to marry a guy by the name of "Lance". Well the next day out in service, I was like..."I know a guy by the name of Lance you should meet, he's a real great guy." (Yep putting the plug in for ya there Lance). Well I find out 2 weeks later when we are leaving, she has been avoiding me because she thought I was using the term "Lance" to refer to myself. Talk about shocked! (and a little frightened....(really took me by surprise) **shutters thinking of this**) So that was my experience at being Lance.
Others pretend to be Lance too... for the last oh 2 years, ever time I thought I was emailing Lance I was really emailing a guy at Bethel Lance Peterson... sorry man, (both of ya) guess I know why neither of you ever showed up to do something. So as you see Lance is a person many people imitate (even though they don't know they are). So watch out Lance may use his powers of forcing you to imitate him, even if you dont know him!
(OK sorry Lance (Lance Peterson... YOu are a Lance too... just not the Lance I usually think of at first)) Good times good times, remember sittin up in yall's room and you tellin about your afro competition (see who could grow the longest hair at Bethel and not get talked to)... and the worst tie contest. (OK I'll Add your picture too... since it will be Lance Friday for you too)
Oh... but you can always go up to Lance and say "BARE JR. BABY!" ah good times good times! That would be Lance #1... man I'm getting confused now.
Oh and this Sunday I hear Lance (Lance #1, not Bethel Lance aka AFro Lance ... (although you would expect the other Lance, Lance #1 to be Afro Lance... hmm OK, California Lance (Lance #2 is from California) Confused?) will be giving his first Public Talk. So way to go Lance... I'll Be praying for you (as I pray myself... I have a talk to or I'd try to be there).

why a little frightened...?

I remember Lance was the man, the man with the plan. One time me and Lance (#1) was out in the woods with twelve packs of peanut butter and chocolate candies, and then we saw this bear and Lance (#1) was like, you should feed the bear these candies, and I was like, good idea, then he'd be our friend, just like Lance (#2) because when I first met Lance (#2), I gave him peanut butter and chocolate flavored cereal, and he said, "Javann (#1) I will be the greatest friend that you have ever known. But first I have to go but an afro wig." Because he knew that the best way to win a hair growing contest is to not actually grow the hair but to buy it. Lance (#2) had beeen hanging around the ghetto girls of Bethel (#1) and so therefore me and Lance (#1) tried to feed the bear, but it was really my cousin Rufus, he was pretty cool with me, but I owed him money for that time I needed to buy some marshmallows for Lance (#2) and Rufus loaned me the ducats. SO Rufus wasn't happy to see me, and as soon as I offered him candy, and not his money back that he loaned me, Rufus got a little perturbed, and he decided to teach me a lesson, since I'm Wimpy Bear and not Chunky Bear, and besides, Rufus was always the bigger of us, so Lance (#1) helped him along, by tripping me up and running, and when I fell Rufus mauled me so badly that now I look like Lance (#2) did BEFORE the plastic surgery to make him more impressive for the ladies who mention marrying him during demonstration. Also me and Lance (#2) were biking, and I was like, Lance (#2) shouldn't you be better at this? And Lance (#2) was like, I've only won five Tour De Frances, and I was like, yeah, but you're seriously lagging. . .good times. . .good times.
None of what was said here has even a small amount of truth in it. Lance and. . .Lance when you meet me, lets go do all this stuff and then say that its true, even though its not. Okay?

Lancereni #1 is quite the sport. He has had to put up with me from Hawaii to Atlanta to Vancouver to Boston. Just give Lance a giant cappaccino and a chocolate bar and he will drive you wherever you want to go. On these trips I’m sure he particularly enjoyed us curbing his spotless car. Hey we wanted to ding it good you know….break it in for the future real wreck he would have (or two). He probably didn’t at all get embarrased driving while I was drawing pictures on the bottom of my foot and holding them to the window for everyone to see while bored traveling. Lets see….he will probably always love me for letting him stay with my Bostonian mentally unstable, future stalking, diagnosed scketzophrenic as well as the rest of his family, who doesn’t have soap, pillows or towels for company, but still a nice guy ex boyfriend who I really didn’t know for a night. Didn’t you have fun.
Lance is quite the cruise goer. One time he was so excited about the cruise he was on he decided to call somebody. Too bad the ship’s phone slipped right out of his hand into the mop bucket of the cleaning lady. “I’m so sorry maaam, is there anything else I could help you clean?” says Lance.
Lance is a great guy. You’ll do great on your talk.

Lance #2 is a good friend of mine in Cali. A funny story about #2 (I mean Lance #2) was when he first got to Bethel (a week before me). Most guys get really uptight when they go to Bethel, but the opposite for Lance #2. He let loose. He got really into "extreme walking." Like skateboarding or BMX without the equipment. Jumping off buildings and railings, NY was like a huge skatepark. He also started a pressroom fashion trend of lowriding his pants for tours. (Quick reaction from Overseers) I think he lasted so long in the pressroom due to his close personal relationship with someone we will call "Arly-Arl"(a little sarcasm). But Lance is a great guy, great songwriter, one of my best friends. Anyone out there who knows him will testify. If you are in Cloverdale, CA stop by and tell him Walter sent you. He and Carrie will take you in as family.

Ah... extreme walking. Now that is cool stuff! I mean I even thought I invented the sport. I had been doing it for years. THen one day I was in a little town in middle TN called Carthage, and I said I was an extreme Walker... and they replied... do you have the shoes and everything. I was very confused... but then found out there were tennis shoes specifically made for extreme walking, with groves which allow you grind rails and such. Very surprising to me. (THEY RIPPED ME OFF). Oh well ahead of the game... its the place to be.
