We spent a day in north Manhattan, (Inwood) and a day in Norwalk Connecticut looking for missionary apartments. Yahoo! We scored, and will be saving the mission about $600.00 a month and the apartments are much nicer. We have been assessing the existing apartments and have the responsibility to decide whether to keep them or replace them. We spent today down in downtown Manhattan on 14th street cleaning an apartment we just vacated so we can collect the security deposit. We had two elders show up and we put them to work washing walls. The place looked pretty darn good, good enough to move right back in. This was the most expensive apartment in the mission and very hard to work with. We found an apartment to replace it that saves the mission $500.00 a month. The next step comes next week when we will be moving missionaries around. We zipped back home as Doug had to meet several brothers in the Elder's quorum to do a "home teaching blitz".
I just thought I better mention the the fun time we had yesterday for our P-day after we visited Dalvin, a young man who is in jail struggling terribly with depression. We called the Elders and got permission from the officers at the jail to have them help Doug give Dalvin a blessing. Afterwards, Doug called around to find a golf course that would be open. It was about 58 degrees yesterday and we played 9 holes at a beautiful course down by Middletown. The man who runs it, lives there too. He built it all by himself. Had some extra land and just decided to turn it into a golf course. We'll have to golf there again on a warmer day. I much prefer the 70's and up.
