Move In Day and Team Dinner

March 10, 2015

This afternoon our friends, the Meinzers, ventured out with us to the mission storage unit, which is really a warehouse where missionaries have an apartment of sorts in the back. This is where all the random left-overs from previous missionaries are taken. Nothing was really organized, and most things were covered with a thick layer of dust. As we rummaged through the piles we were able to pull out some useful items to fill our apartment. We got a rice cooker, a slow cooker, a blender, and a variety of other kitchen items. We didn't find everything that was on our list, but we were able to acquire much of what we needed. Then we delivered it to the apartment (unfortunately, dust included).

We didn't have time to put things away before we had to head back to the church to meet up for a Team dinner with the PEF team. Marco (from Hong Kong), Samson (India),  Phanna and Sameth (Cambodia). We also invited the Public Affairs couple, Elder and Sister Vanbrocklin, to join us. We ended up at a French restaurant and had a wonderful evening. We had a great visit, great food, and learned a lot.

The Vanbrocklins were kind enough after dinner to take us to the store for a few items, then home again. We tackled some of the worst of the dusty pile in our apartment. The rest will have to wait until tomorrow.  We did sleep in our apartment for the first time tonight.  Home sweet home for the next 22 months.
