This is Kip Thompson. The second bishop of the Arlington Ward. He's a legend! I looked up today during Sunday School and saw him upstairs through a window. I excused myself from the class and went to find him. He lives in Texas and travels ALL over the world for his job. Whenever I see him my favorite thing to ask him is "Where have you been lately?" And I hear something like this: I was in India for 3 days and then went to China for 18 hours. Then I went to Brazil for 2 days, Argentina for a day and then spent a day in Washington, DC. He's a high-powered guy at a big computer company. I was the president of the Young Women when he was bishop and have a lot of fun memories (and funny stories). He and his family made huge contributions to the church here and they are still missed. Kip is a great guy and it made my day to see him!
What brought him to Boston?
ReplyDeleteI remember the youth trip that we had with the "Perfect Brightness of Hope" theme when Kip was bishop and you were YW Pres. That was a dynamo team!
