I sent Steve this party hat for his birthday. I'm glad to see he was not afraid to put it on. He probably wore it just for the pictures. He said he got steak and really good chocolate cake for his birthday at a member's house. Thanks for feeding my son on his birthday.

Steve has recently moved to Marion, Indiana. This town is much larger than Martinsville. His new companion is Elder Krage from San Diego. He is missing the ward members from Martinsville, but this is just part of mission life. Now he will have another group of people that get to know Elder Prothero and his amazing personality. We can't wait to hear all about Marion and the wonderful people he will serve there.

2009-10-14T20:27:00.000-07:00

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.

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.

Starting the Blog

2009-09-27T17:35:00.002-07:00

Just wanted to be cool like everyone else that is blogging. So I thought I would start by blogging about my son Elder Steve Prothero. He is currently serving a mission in the Indianapolis, Indiana mission. He left on August 25, 2009. This picture is at the Mount Timpanogos temple the day that Steven went to the temple.
