All Moved in

This is the name of the complex where we found an apartment for missionaries.
This is the center area where they have entertainment sometimes and the farmers market on Saturdays
You can't see that the table Doug is sitting at is a chess table. There are all kinds of game tables like this all thru the complex, as well as basket ball, tennis, volley ball and play areas.
Dup. picture sorry. This place is very family oriented and seems to be a very safe place. A big reason for wanting missionaries here.

The Elders are all moved into "Stuyvesant Town". The third apartment we found for the missionaries. Originally it was for the sisters, but things change. This is a very nice area. It is right downtown on 14th Street and 1st Avenue. It is a complex with about 30 different 12 story buildings with all kinds of amenities. The elders were real excited about the great outdoor basket ball court right by their building. They are on the 9th floor. There are several play places for families with children. A farmers market every Sat. in the center of the complex.

The night before moving the Elders, the leasing manager that we have been working with called and said that we could only move two elders in, not four. Oh, it has been a night mare. He said that there is a New York law that says we can't have that many people in that size of apartment, but on the other had if they were all related and family, they couldn't turn away anyone, even if there ended up being 40 people in there. They will allow three, but not four. What the heck! Satan puts obstacles in our way all the time. So we might be moving three sisters in there and moving the Elders back out. "It will all work out. Put your trust in God and move forward with faith and confidence in the future." (Pres. Hinkley)
