At zone conference last week, President Kezerian told us that they were transfering our elders out of Ashburton and transfering 2 sister missionaries in! He ask us about the apartment, and we told him we didn't think it was acceptable for sisters, and he ask if we'd look around, and get something ready for them. So we went and re-evaluated the apartment, and looked at some others apartments and decided that it was "fixable". The neighbors there are 2 older ladies and a nice couple. Kenny was honestly inspired on Sunday and ask if we could get some people to help us clean it up - we never could have done it ourselves! 15 people came Monday morning and worked for hours, cleaning up the yard, and the apartment, washing windows, etc. We hauled a big trailer full of stuff off. We also have an electrician in the branch who came and spent hours fixing electrical problems and hung a new light fixture, and fixed the bathroom heater. Then Elder Neider and I went shopping and bought new bedding, new curtains, new desks and lights, ironing board, blinds for the kitchen window and of course a few flowers! Does this just sound like our "cup of tea", or what! Kenny fixing things and me shopping and fixing things up! In the meantime, we had the furniture and carpets professionally cleaned, and they looked good. After the elders left this morning, we went over and put everything together before the sisters came, with the help of two more ladies. When Sister Wu and Sister Fetu'u, got there and saw it, they were so thrilled, it was worth every minute and penny! (the mission paid for everything). I will add a picture of the sisters tomorrow. They are absolutely adorable and will be a great blessing to Ashburton. Fun week!
