Moving days are Loooooooooooooooooong Days

Good-bye to our little place in Monticello on west Broadway. We have enjoyed this apartment. It was a real blessing. We definitely will miss the open space we had there along with an extra bedroom and balcony off our living room.
The moving crew in Monticello: back-elders Fisher, Eastohope & Aimes, front- elders Leatham, Iro, Scott. The elders came up early before district meeting to help us move. After district meeting we treated them all to lunch for their kind service. To our surprise the ZL were at distric meeting and we got to see them too. Will miss you guys, XOXO
The moving crew at the mission Home in Scarsdale. Our awesome AP's, elder Evans & Bishoff. We stopped by the mission home to pick up some furniture that has been collecting dust down in the basement, then off to Manhattan, our new place in the Inwood area at the northern end of Manhattan where we met up with that moving crew. It was pouring rain when we arrived and therefore, I didn't have the opportunity to take pictures, but we had 2 sisters and about 6 elders. Those from our new Inwood district. Thanks to all of you.

It was a real challenge moving up to the 3rd floor. Some of the stuff wouldn't fit in the elevator so it had to be taken up the stairs. Hind sight, I didn't get any pictures of the crowded apartment with hardly room to move in, it was so jam packed. Sister Ollerton and Sister Dame were so good and unpacked the kitchen for me. Thanks goodness for the buffness of the Elders getting the stuff up the stairs. All of the missionaries help was such a tender mercy along with a parking spot that became available right in front of the apartment The truck was driven up to the church parking lot about 41/2 blocks away. The tender mercy of a parking spot wasn't so tender when we woke up and found a ticket on the car, "alternate street parking" oops we forgot to get up and move the car before 8:00am.


Spent Tuesday organizing the new apartment. We had to get rid of an old couch and a couple of chairs and a night stand. Were told to put them in the back alley-way where the garbage goes. With in 20 minutes it was gone. A couple of people who live in the aparmtent building snatched it right up. Better them than the garbage truck.

Beth, it was so good to find you! I was looking at Hope Clydes blog and saw that she had your blog on her list. I have often thought about you and wondered how your mission is going. It sounds like you are having a wonderful time. I look forward to going on a mission someday.
I can't believe yours will be over in just three months. Time sure flies sometimes. haha
Take care and I look forward to reading more of your experiences.
