Thursday, 30 November 2017

It was about 8:40 am we left to go to London to help 4 missionaries move.  It took us over 2 hours to drive to London.  Traffic closer to London was slow going. The two sets of missionaries have been living together and President Gubler wanted them separated.  One of the set of missionaries are the Zone Leaders and the other set of missionaries are the Spanish speaking missionaries.  Elder Wallace, Elder Pearce, and the missionaries spent the day moving beds, shelves, dressers, kitchen, and luggage.  The missionaries were all packed with their personal things and ready to go.  Sister Pearce cleaned bathrooms and I packed and cleaned the kitchen.  They had two fridges which the mission ownes one of the fridges.  We will bring the fridge to our flat because it is fairly new and in great condition.  We ordered Pizza from Pizza Hut for lunch for the missionaries and Sister Pearce bought cookies.  It was so nice to take a break.  (missed taking pictures)  It was the coldest day ever.  Elder Wallace saw a few snow flakes but nothing to write home about.

Our last stop was to drop off the Zone Leaders to their new flat and left for home.  It took us over 3 hours to get home.  We stopped at a store called TK Max to look for coats.  Didn't find anything and then we went to Costco and found coats for both Elder Wallace and myself.  We were thrilled at the price and the look of the coats.  We now will be warm!!!  We were very blessed to find the coats so quickly besides four pillows to go with the pillowcases that match the duvet.  Hot dogs and drinks for dinner.  It was nerve wracking for Elder Wallace to drive a van and for me to be there and see how close the van gets to other cars and vehicles.  We had a scary experience with a huge 18 wheeler.  The truck turned onto a street we were coming to.  Elder Wallace got scared and thought he were driving on the wrong side of the road and went quickly to the right side of the road.  He realized what was happening and went back to the left side of the road and then had to back up so the 18 wheeler could make the turn.  Afterward we had a good laugh and were grateful that our prayers were answered with being safe.  Arrived home safe and sound about 7 pm.

We made and mixed roll dough for orange rolls tomorrow.  I found a large plastic container and put the roll dough in it and put it outside in the van.  We were so tired we didn't even go to pick up the car.
