A Day With Missionaries

Things have been so busy for so many weeks that it was refreshing to have a fairly "normal" Saturday for a change. There were 19 in our Institute class today, then we returned home to call most of our family. Since we went grocery shopping to three stores earlier this week, Lucky's will wait a few more days.


Transfers will be next week and one of our translators will be taking the long transfer home. We invited Sisters Schwab and Ormax as well as Elders Palmer and Lauritzen for lunch. They chose "Sou Sou" which is buffet with a conveyer that brings foods to your table where you put the foods into a boiling pot to cook. They all enjoyed the adventure and the delicious lunch.

Transfer week also means apartment inspections are up again. We arranged to make three of the four inspection visits this afternoon. As always we point out the things that need improvement and end our visit with a reward of Krispy Kreme Donuts.

An important focus for the mission is to become deliberate disciples, and that includes keeping their apartments clean to invite the spirit. Last apartment inspections was just after a deep clean day, so the apartments were really good then. Today they were definitely better than our first inspections almost eighteen months ago, but not as good as last time. They were good enough to give them their donuts. Our granddaughter told us that if they were not good then we should eat their donuts in front of them. We really would not ever want to do that, but it is an idea. We will inspect the last apartment this time on Tuesday and then we only one more round of apartment inspections before we go home.
