Checking Out Four Missionary Apartments

Tomorrow is a transfer day so we were asked to do some quick apartment inspections, just to make sure that the missionaries are keeping them clean and taking care of them. Since we last inspected two of the four apartments have moved and the new apartments are very nice. One of the Elders told us that it is hard to live in an apartment nicer than the members can afford to live in. The apartments here are nicer than the ones Elder Oveson had when he served in New Mexico forty years ago and the ones that we have been in in the Salt Lake Area. Overall they are doing a good job but there were some things that we asked them to cleanup better. We told them that we are not mom and dad, we are grandma and grandpa and they are a lot harder on keeping the bedrooms clean. They all really seemed to enjoy the cream puff treats that we brought to them.

This afternoon we went to look at an apartment in the same building as Elder & Sister Meinzer live in. There are pros and cons to moving. If we move we can walk to and from the Service Center, which is a lot better than the crazy traffic both ways. We would also be a lot closer to the Mission Home and the other Senior couples. A con is that we really like where we are living right now, our current apartment is smaller but newer and more functional for the way we live. We have to decide in the next couple of days what we want to do.

We began helping Sameth with a PowerPoint presentation that he has to give next week as part of the Area PEF Conference Call. We want him to look good, so we plan on sprucing up the slides and adding some graphics.
