 Our theme song is "On the Road Again".  Here is some of the lyrics of the song which fits us.

On the road again
Goin' places that I've never been
Seein' things that I may never see again
And I can't wait to get on the road again

We were up early getting ready for the day, breakfast and out the door for another fun filled day of just the van and us.  We arrived at the flat in Purley which is in Staines.  We were a half an hour late.  It is hard being on time to anything even if you leave early.  You never know what the traffic will be like.   We met the Seversons and two Elders which helped moved the furniture.  The Seversons are a hard working and go get em' type of people.  Elder Severson is on the quiet side and Sister Severson jumps right in and starts cleaning.  When we arrived the Severson were already cleaning the kitchen and moving boxes outside.  Elder Wallace and Elder Severson went to the rubbish while the sisters stayed behind.  Sister Severson and I went to the store after finishing the cleaning and bought light bulbs for the kitchen.  It was a cute place with one bedroom and a living room with the kitchen just off it.  We celebrated being out of the flat by going to Burger King for lunch.  It was fun to visit and get to know the Severson's better.  And it was the first burger I have had from Burger King since coming to England.  We were surprised at the size of fries they give out.  It looked like a kiddy meal fries size.  We said our goodbyes and left in the van loaded with furniture and housewares to Redhill to a charity shop called Furnistore for the homeless.   They were very kind to us and took our things and threw out what they didn't want.  

We arrived back at the office to work for a few hours.  Elder Rees and I don't see eye to eye on a few things that happened in the office.  I think he can see that our senior couples still turn to us for help and he wants to know that he is in charge.  I do love Elder and Sister Rees and their dedication and sacrifice to be on a mission for 23 months.  They are wonderful people and I have to be more humble.  

We came home tired and ready for dinner.  We baked some potatoes and yams in the InstaPot and fried a zucchini.  After cleaning up from dinner we walked back to the office to retrieved some glasses from a flat.  We are like scavengers taking anything we need to make life more comfortable.  We got ready for bed and watched a Star Trek movie.  It was not a favorite but Elder kept falling asleep.  I dozed off while reading scriptures.
