There and back again (Jimmy's journey) : Derby Week

May 6, 2013

Hey ya'll

So this week was derby and literally it was like a week long holiday for something thats not really even a holiday... how? well the schools were shut down on friday for Oaks which was a horse race for the female horses. From what I could gather this race was all for helping the breast cancer cause. Saturday was the Kentucky derby and all of louisville shut down and I guess crestwood, The city i'm serving in, is close enough to lousiville that it shut down too... it turned our little town into a ghost town! there was literally no one arround they were all watching the derby or at a "derby party" so it was a pretty slow day. but that was okay so we got into a lesson on saturday around 6 and we thought the derby was done by then but we were wrong... the person we were teaching literally stopped us mid lesson and said we have to pause for 2 minutes now that was weird I thought then he turned arround flipped on the TV and turned it to the derby. so I got to watch the derby... after the derby we resumed teaching and it turned out to be a great lesson except for the fact that we watched the derby when we tried not to...

hmm what else happened this week.... oh yeah we were at our stake presidents house this week for dinner. We were talking then he brought up hoow he just had a meeting with president Woodburry and he was talking about elder kidd and I and how we had acctually turned this area around. then he said, "I knew that Elder Kidd would be a good trainer, and Elder Scott don't be too surprised if you train next transfer".......... Training after 2 transfers? it takes 2 transfers to train someone!?! I don't know if i could train.... but I guess if it happens its for a reason and I'll be able to handle it. It will just be supper stressful.

so we were tracting yesterday and nothing really good was happening, it was raining and people were being unusually rude. so it was a good day tracting. I'm not complaining I promise because something good hppened and made it all worth it! so we were about to head in for the night but we decided to finish the street before doing so. the second to last house that we were going to knock on we knocked and did our spill and he actually said we could come back and actually seamed like he wanted it istead of the usual oh i guess you can come back... anyway it was supper funny when he said we could come back Elder Kidd Was supper surprised and was like "really!?!" It was supper funny so 2 good things came from that house. The more important one we got a new gator! the second we got a good laugh out of it and now i can make fun of elder kidd for it hahaha I love it!
