'This morning was our service project and it was the one thing I was hope-hope-hoping we wouldn't have to do...bathrooms.'
I let everybody know pretty quickly that I claimed sinks..none of that shower/toilet nonsense for this lady! Sister Love chose mirrors so the two of us were working pretty closely together but at one point I got done on that floor before the others so I headed to the next area we were assigned to only to be joined once more with Love just a few minutes later. She and I finished our designated tasks pretty early so we were able to double back and help some other sisters with their task..toilets of all things. Once we had completed their task Love and I went back to our dorm to get ready for the day but we still hadn't seen Sister Tripp since we had first split up..so I stayed in the room incase she came and Love did a quick sweep of our two assigned floors but came back without having seen her. 10 minutes passed by before the door opened with Tripp behind it and all hell broke loose
Tripp slammed open the door, threw her arms in the air and said, "what the heck guys?"...eh shocked much? She completely flipped out on us saying that because we wouldn't do our own designated job that she and another sister had had to double back and clean all of the sinks on another floor and that they were the only ones there and all of these other terrible things and then just never said another word to us for the next..oh 2 hours. Yikes.
We had a companionship inventory that night which was rough to say the least..lots of yelling, crying, leaving the room, smacking the floor. It was really bad. Most of the conflict was brought up between Tripp and Love which I appreciated and didn't. Love went first in airing her grievances and once she was done I felt like the list was so long that I didn't want to add more to poor Tripp on how she could be better so I just told her one thing that had irked me the most.
I felt bad because it was pretty apparent that she has some significant insecurities that she isn't handling well..it just was exhausting to always be catering to them! But as I chose not todo sort was really apparent in our companionship. A learning experience for sure!
