YEAH!!! IT'S TIME FOR APARTMENT INSPECTIONS

TODAY IT WAS OFF TO ANNANDALE ZONE FOR INSPECTIONS. GREAT JOB! EVERYTHING LOOKED SPECTACULAR. My 2 dear friends, Sisters Burton and Erickson helped me inspect and we had such fun. This time around instead of me spending 8 days in 8 zones, we assigned the Senior missionary couples to inspect the zones where they live. So the Butlers, Clawsons, Hansens, Brysons, Davis, Maldonados, each took a zone. And the Burtons, Ericksons, and Albright sisters covered our two zones together. And so I only have pictures of the Mclean and Annandale Zones. If I get some of the others from the inspectors, I'll post them too.

Our first stop today was at the Assistants and Office Elders Apartment. We were greeted by the smell of a candle burning and soft church music playing. Way to impress!! The ovens were all spotless today. They put in lots of Hard effort to get everything tip top.
This apartment received an EXALTED CELESTIAL AWARD.
Elders Holmstead and Karren at their desks.
Elders Schmidt and Parker, office recorders at their desks.
Elder Holmstead demonstrating how to fold a shirt. It was way impressive and Sister Erickson and I each had to practice and learn how. Told these elders this a good way to impress a prospective wife.
A drawer of Tee shirts folded professionally.
Closet organized so nicely
And it is common to find the ties all organized and even color aligned.
2nd Stop: Exhange Coordinator Sisters: Malmberg and Garbrick. They taught a family from Pakistan and purchased these darling Pakistan outfits. way cute. And the apartment looked way lovely too.

SHOWING US their Hula-hoop magic.

Gift from the Burke ward: and when you open it...

3rd Stop: the Omara's home. Nice digs for a mission. Elders Ditty and Slade who live in the basement.

Pretty impressive bathroom. clean and shiny

a number of elder apartments have this picture on their exit door so they see it as they leave each day- inspiration on the way out RWH
Elders Allen, Tovar, Stewart and Buie. A really fun group of guys.
5th stop: The Evans home. Pretty Shabby. Wow.
Sisters Burton and Erickson with Sisters Nichols and Hardt on the front porch
6th stop: they told us they have a mouse in the couch and it gets in thru a hole in the wall behind the couch. They pulled out the couch so we could see. LOVELY. They are moving into a new apartment in 2 weeks.
Elders Morrill, Bay, Merrill, and Bolos
Mission Title of Liberty or Wall hanging above the couch. (one without a mouse). The hanging has signatures from all the missionaries who have lived in the apartment since we moved in. The dates go back to 2002.
