hours. I realize we are in a bigger city than Cedar, or even SLC, but that is a ridiculous amount of time! They said there were a lot of people with flu symptoms there and luckily they masked so they wouldn't be infected. Elder Breinholt and I went in to pick them up at 9:15 and got home at 10:15, after going through the Taco Bell drive through for them and driving home. The wound was cleaned, dressed, he was given an antibiotic to take, and had the first of four rabies shots. Gratefully they no longer do three weeks of daily shots in the stomach.
Since we've been in our apartment, the paint has been peeling around the kitchen window and part of the ceiling. We finally had someone come out last night to scrape and patch the area and then this morning they were supposed to come at 8:30 to paint it. They were a no-show. Seems to be the way it goes. Hopefully they will show up in a day or two. If not...it still looks better than it did!
Next week, Sister Prior and I are trading offices. She is over the housing, media, and referrals and will be leaving in about two weeks. She suggested, and the president agreed that I need a more private area to work in. I am currently in the media room/lunch room/office printer, shredded, stamp machine room. And while I haven't minded, and the view out my window is nice, it does get hard to talk to someone confidentially on the phone or in person. The lunch table is a meeting place for the missionaries doing laundry here on P-day and others just hanging out. So...I will have an office with a door. And, truth be told, I will appreciate it. Sister Mortensen, the person taking Sister Priors place, will have my area.
It's supposed to get up to 50 today, rain tomorrow and Sunday, and snow early in the next week. I'm hoping for good weather for when Angie and Mike are here. I'm anxious to show them around this state that we have come to love. Once again, if it weren't for our love of our family and the mountains, we could see ourselves staying here. The people are great, there is so much green, and we like our ward. Even the humidity was bearable last year!
Monday Morning: Sister Fleming's birthday. The AP's have been living downstairs in the mission office for a few months. They travel to, and stay with, other companionships that need some extra help every week. So every day they're here they fix breakfast in the kitchen downstairs. Sister Prior was downstairs last week and kidded them about making us all hungry when they cook their breakfast. This morning they made breakfast for all of us seniors! Bacon, sausage, eggs, hash browns and gravy! It was fun to sit and visit with them and very nice for them to do that. Also...since Sister Fleming and I both have birthdays this week, Sister Prior (our resident baker) made a chocolate cake for us. Can't wait for lunch!
