On Wednesday night we helped her pack up her things into boxes that were loaded into her car which will be shipped back to her home. When we finished up we took her out to her favorite pizza place in Lexington. She gave me a great smile for this one even though she was very tired.
On Tuesday, we went for a ladies luncheon together at the local Atlanta Bread.
From left to right, Sister Holm, Sister Mihlberger, me, Sister Decker and of course Sister Rothman.
President and Sister Gold from the temple came to help. They ended up taking Sister Rothman to the airport. She was very pleased. While talking with the Gold's we discovered the always present link in the church. They are friends with Rod and Laura Mortensen who are in our stake. Small world indeed.
On Tuesday morning before we all met for lunch I went to Camden to get the utilities set up for the apartment we will rent there. I also stopped by the landlord's place of business and they gave me the keys to the townhouse so I'm ready to go next week. The setting is so pretty.
Camden is a very historic town with lots of beautiful old homes. I would love to explore it more, but it seems like I'm always on a very tight schedule every time I am there.
On Thursday we started moving into the new apartments for this transfer. This new area for sisters is located in the town of Seneca which is located up at the top of the western edge of the state by the North Carolina and Georgia borders. Such a cute little apartment and it includes a washer and dryer...which is a big deal. When missionaries are living on such a limited budget spending $20 or more to go to the Laundromat is expensive.
This is the mail center for this apartment complex. It spoke to both Doyle and I and I just had to take a picture!!
Today we went to Charleston for a double move. We had the help of four elders who drove for 30 minutes to come help us move two sisters out of a one bedroom apartment and into a new location with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. We'll be placing two more sisters there at transfers. It was quite a workout as both of the apartments were on the second floor and it was really hot.
Sister Creager, Sister Banks, Elder Condie, Elder Ward, Elder Proctor and Elder Robinson.
Lunch was at a place recommended by the sisters called Raisin' Cain...another one of the many chicken places in the south!! It was fun and we were so grateful for their help. We are blessed to be able to associate with so many wonderful elders and sisters.
This truck was outside the restaurant. The mud was so thick!.."only in South Carolina" was the comment by the other person taking a picture of this truck. The owner was obviously proud of his very muddy truck.
We finally arrived back at the office at around 5pm. There was a package waiting from our friends Margie and Bill. Doyle's birthday is in August and mine is in September, so she sent a double gift and I had to share. Margie is very talented and made a beautiful bag for me!! It is so heavy and sturdy. I love it.
The cake mix is for Doyle. Margie sent a special recipe for me to bake a desert for him. I will definitely do that!!I heard a quote this week that I would like to share. "Bring the past only if you're going to build from it." Think about that everyone.
Love y'all. Have a wonderful week and give thanks for the blessings that are yours.
