Wednesday, 31 January 2018

This is a quick summary of our day:

• Worked at the office
• Finished cleaning out a flat and turning in the keys to the Leaders Letting Agency
• Lunch - we ate 1/2 a ham sandwich, chips, carrot sticks, apple slices.
• Returned to the office.
• Returned home to prepare for Institute
• Saw an orange Full, Blue, Blood Moon (picture)
• Easy meal of carrots, celery, tomatoes, cucumbers, cheese, crackers and Ranch dressing for dipping veggies and crackers.
• Driving to Institute we saw the moon again!  (picture)
• Institute - lessons on Alma talking to his sons before he dies.  Okay - what would you want to say to your children before you die?
• The YSA stayed and visited for a long time.  Fun to be with them.  Jacobs birthday and Sister Doughty brought a cake.  Yummy!  We acknowledge Charlie for get her masters degree in cancer biology.
• Returned home to find that we had left our bag with our tablets in Crawley Stake Centre.
• Prepare for bed and we both were out fast.  I was falling asleep during scripture study.

Well - I must say that the blogs goes quickly when you don't add a lot of detail.  The only thing is I like to write the details!  

A few things we have been dealing with at flats:  Bed bugs!  YUCK!  We received a detailed report from an exterminator on the plan to get rid of the tiny, biting, brown bugs.  We are going to use his services.  Did you know that bed bugs come out when there is carbon monoxide (through your breathing) that's what brings out the bugs.  Only will the bugs come out at night and while carbon monoxide is present.  That is why people need to stay in their residence to help bring the bugs out and kill them with the poison that is sprayed.  And they can hibernate for up to a year in virtually anything.  Have left of you itching yet???  The exterminator said that he had never seen so many bug bites on a person like Elder Rosenvall. He also might have fleas that will be taken care of with the treatment.  He must of been a great host!!! Another issue was a water problem.  The day before we got a call from some sisters.  Water coming from the bathroom ceiling. They called me the day before and today I couldn't find their names.  

We also got an early morning call from Emily telling us of water problems on Amber Lane rental.  We communicated with her during the day.  A tender mercy was she found a plumber to fix the problem.  Thank you, my darling daughter for supporting us on a mission.  She has taken over all of the rentals. 

Moon outside our Carriage House!  Sounds better than a flat.
It was an orange colour moon that you can barely see.

Closer picture - would like a better camera!

Another view outside from our flat.
When we arrived home we could see the moon.
