Transfers Week--Bedding

Dear One and I are responsible for getting the right bedding to the meetinghouse where the incoming missionaries will arrive for interviews, a little training, supper, and assignment to companions and areas.

Last night Dear One and I had to purchase more sheets then went to the storage garages and loaded into our car comforters, fleece blankets, and sheets to round out the needs of the missionaries.  The trunk was already full of new Costco pillows.  Well, we only give them new bedding.

So, here are a couple of pictures of the car loaded for bear:

One of my responsibilities is to order bag suppers for the arriving missionaries and the Senior missionaries who help them get through the evening of interviews, bedding allocation, etc.  I usually purchase apples and/or other fruit and bottled water to go with their sandwich, chips, and cookie.

Here are 30 Pink Lady apples and 35 bottles of water.

We moved much of the bedding plus the water and apples to Elder and Sister J's car since Elder J will be going out to the meetinghouse early tomorrow to help with the actual parking lot transfers.  He will kindly bring in the water and put it in the refrigerator plus also put the bedding in the Relief Society Room where the arriving missionaries will pick them up.

Tonight is the Departing Dinner.  It is always a joy to help prepare for the missionaries. It is also always tough to say goodbye.  In fact, I do my best to avoid that.  Usually Dear One and I leave before the very last cleanup is done to go pick up the bedding.  That has already been done!  Tonight we need to get to the library to return a Library of Things item...since it won't work tomorrow when the item is due.

It occurs to me that this post is not very interesting.  Sorry.  I can't think what to write to make it better. This blog is meant to chronicle our missionary experiences.  Since some of it is mundane, well, what can I say more....Happy Fall to everyone!
