Blunt with the Bishop

At the beginning of each year in a singles ward the bishopric usually sets time to meet with each apartment and get to know them a little bit better. Today was our turn. Just a little roommate background first, Emily is the only other LDS girl in my apartment. Su Su and Geri our non-members and Crystal is inactive. Crystal is also accompanied by her boyfriend Wes (he lives here with us). The last couple of weeks we have been having so much drama with Crystal and Wes. Let's face it, having a boy roommate is just awkward and uncomfortable. It's becoming a worse and worse problem as time goes on. Me and Emily have talked about it extensivly, but we just didn't really know what to do about it. It is very much illegal for him to be living with us, but we don't want to be back in elementary and play the tattle-tale game. So we decided that maybe this meeting with the bishopric today might be a good opportunity to tell them about what is going on and see what they think.
I was hoping that somehow it would just come out naturally in the conversation. No such luck of course! At the end of the meeting the bishop asks "Is there anything else you would like to tell us about yourselves?" Me and Emily look at each other, questioning with our eyes if we should or shouldn't, and which one of us is going to take the plunge. So I finally just turn to the bishop and say, very bluntly, "Well, Bishop. We have a boy roommate." Just like that. ha ha it was way funny. No preamble, just stated it baldly. What I should have said is something like this "Well, we wanted to talk to you about our situation and see what you guys think..." Oh man, their reactions were hilarious. I could tell they were trying to hold in laughter with all their might! The bishop just smiles and says "Well sisters, that IS a matter of concern for your bishopric!" Can I just say... I LOVE MY NEW BISHOPRIC! They asked us who our landlord was and said they would be giving him a call within the week so that we didn't have to. They also went on and on how totally unfair that is to us and how we shouldn't have to deal with that in our lives. They even thanked us for telling them so that they could correct the situation for us. WOW! What was the funniest part though was as we were about to leave one of the bishopric memebers asks "So girls, do you have ANY MORE secrets to share with us that we can fix for you??" ha ha ha ha Me and Emily walked out, turned the corner, and both busted a gut laughing so hard.
I may have not said things very well, but at least things are going to be taken care of! ha ha ha I can only imagine what the bishopric is thinking about me... but oh well.... at least they were super nice about it!
