APARTMENT INSPECTIONS

Today we spent the day inspecting mission apartments. This happens once every 6 week cycle. We are to go to the missionaries apartments and go down a list of items with them making sure that everything is in working order, and everyone is doing their share. And also fill out a supply order form for items needed, such as; broom, mop, tilex, etc. What amazes me the most is that they are in small quite confined areas. There are at least 4 missionaries in each apartment, sometimes 6. At transfer time, some come and go. Trying to keep order and cleanliness with a bunch of other individuals can be a chore. Only those of you who have served a mission can dig in your memory and probably smile as you remember those days. For the most part things are in pretty good order. But some of these apartments are very old, bathrooms are so small, outlets not adequate so there is always lots of extension cords. We love our missionaries and my do they eat a lot of cold cereal.
