BOO! Did I scare you? Probably, because you walked right into that. My sister did that all the time, yup. That happens all the time, she just gets scared. Even if you just go WAH! See that scared you again.
So this last week was pretty good!
Monday- Elder Tripp had his first P-day in the field, and we had alot of fun. P-Days work out alot better when you plan very thoroughly. We already planned pretty thoroughly, but now we plan very thoroughly.
Tuesday- Elder Tripp had his first day doing service. He liked the Library, but he really got a kick out of calling BINGO at the old people place. I can't ever remember what they are called- nursing home! That's what it's called. He liked it though, he thought it was way funny that the old people got so into bingo. We scored a free dinner too, so that was cool.
Wednesday- On Wednesday we had to drive with the Sisters to Davenport, IA for a special 'New Trainers' meeting with President Jergensen. Sister Draney and I were required to attend since we are both trainers. So it was a good 2 1/2ish hour drive to Davenport, and then after the 1 1/2 hour long meeting we drove another 2 1/2 hours back to Fairfield. Long drives SUCK. Especially when you are the only person who is allowed to drive the car, I'd be pleased to drive that long if I was driving a 2011 Chevy Camaro, but unfortunately we're stuck with a 2010 Pontiac Vibe. That car sucks. It's a chick car. How did Elders end up with a Pontiac Vibe and the Sisters end up with a Chevy Colorado? It doesn't make sense! Anyways, enough about car complaints.
Thursday- This day was cool. We had district meeting, and tracted alot. It was fun. Elder Tripp gets a kick out of people slamming doors in his face. Especially when they blow up on us just for introducing ourselves. He liked to laugh. We also visited with Brother Fitzgerald and talked the gospel. It was a good lesson. Then we met with Sister Arkon at the Library for a lesson. She's doing way good. I'm glad too because I baptized her, and I'd feel distraught if she fell away. She's awesome and solid though. Good for her for sticking to it! She's been going to church up in muscatine with her husband who is also a member, and lives up there. So that's what's been up with her.
Friday- We were weekly planning. We felt inspired to call this one potential that Elder Wilson and I bumped into at a laundromat. Her name is Kim. I'll call her Kim K. Because are teaching another Kim, who I will call Kim C. She's awesome. She said we should go over there "now". We taught her the restoration and set a baptismal date for her. It was way sweet, because Elder Tripp got to extend all the commitments. I like to make sure he gets to have good experiences. Good for him. He's growing alot. That's what the Gospel does, it grows people. :)
Saturday- we had almost all our lessons fall through, except for the one with Kim C. Kim C. is getting baptized next week so we went over the baptismal interview questions and set up an interview for her. She had the interview on Sunday morning and she passed! It's so exciting! Now we are going to wait and see how everything else goes, cause she just needs to be baptized!
Sunday- typical Sundays. Church, studies, and work. We had a good dinner with the Titze's, and they fed us good pie. It reminded me of Pie Night. Kim K came to church. She asked us after church "What do I need to do to be baptized and how fast can it happen?"
Golden words there, golden words! Elder Tripp I think just about fainted. Elder Tripp was tripping over what he heard! I'm sure he's never heard that one before. No seriously, I don't think he's heard it. Hang on I'll ask him. Yeah, he has. DARN IT!
Anyways this email is now boring me. And we have a haircut appointment in 5 minutes so we gotta bounce!
Everyone make themselves a mormon.org account!
Read the Book of Mormon!
BOOM!
Elder Prows
P.S.
one of my friends sent me a postcard. He asked if I thought it was cool. Yes. Yes I did think it was cool. Good ole Elder Wood, of the Minnesota Minneapolis Mission.
