Steve The Rug Maker


Steve made this rug for me on P-day.  I hope it survived the fire.

My apartment building is on FIRE!!





This is not Steve's apartment and he did not burn the toast.  Their neighbor did have a big fire.  Steve assures us that he and Elder Lowry are fine, just smokey.  They were home when the fire broke out.  Steve, did you play with matches again?  Your dad wants to know why you didn't get your stuff out.  You mom is grateful you were smart enough to stay out of a burning building.

My first companion and other great missionaries



Elder Savage, Elder Ireland and Elder Lowry (my trainer)


Martinsville Indiana my first place.  Okay the building is not our apartment building.  The whole thing is held up by the chain that is wrapped around the building.
Samuel Smith the first missionary and Elder Steve Prothero.  It looks like a great start.

MTC

Steve getting ready to ride a bike on his mission.  I hope you get a helmet.

Good bye cell phone

Good bye cell phone.  I hope all of my girl friends got the message about my mission.  My sister is going to be using this phone for the next month.  

My parents trying to be brave before we get in the car and drive to Provo.  This day was full of excitement, sadness, and extreme fear.  Glad it is over.

August 5th. MTC D-Day

Kate and Steve.  Kate wants to go on a mission too!

My sister with the effects from the H1N1 or swine flu.  She got bells palsy.  Way fun times.  She has fully recovered.  Good news you won't be disfigured your whole life.

The day I left for the MTC was a sad day for all.  My Mom and Kate are looking pretty sad in my room.

Pics from farewell continued


























Steve's Farewell







The farewell was awesome. The smoked pork was the best! It was great to have all of my friends come. It was sad that Clark and Ryan were already in the MTC. They missed my awesome talk. Can't wait to get out to teach the gospel.
