On Thursday when we were tracting we had a pretty out of the ordinary experience. We were in the back yard of a less-active member and we heard a loud pop. We went out front to find out what it was and across the street behind a house we saw a fire in the brush. We ran over to the house and rang to doorbell. The owner came to the door and the loud pop had just woken him up from sleeping (he works graveyard shifts) and he had just noticed the fire when we rang the doorbell. We ran out back and I grabbed a shovel and started throwing dirt on the fire. I got the side towards that house contained but it spread and caught a trailer on fire. At first it wasn't too bad but then the trailer exploded out the side because of the propane lines inside. The fire spread out across the feild next to the house towards the rest of the neighborhood. Another neighbor went over and turned on all the sprinklers down there to keep it from getting to the houses. The fire department finally showed up and got it out. The guy was pretty apreciative as was his wife. When we left, things were still pretty hektic so we didnt get to ask them about having us come over an teach them but we are planning on going back soon and talking to them.
Besides that things are just the norm here. We are going golfing again today so Ill let you know how it goes next week!
Love you all! Elder Bowen
