The past week was crammed full of fun things like inspecting six young missionaries' apartments and cars.  We drove to Pasadena and Glen Burnie and then to the two apartments here in our own area.  It's always an interesting experience.  The sisters always have it very nice and clean but that's not always the case with the elders.  For example, some don't realize that a dish cloth needs to be either laundered or in some cases tossed :). We always leave them with a treat, spiritual thought, and a prayer.  We love them all so much and have the best time associating with them.  

On Wednesday I had a dentist appointment and after that we visited a local theater and watched the new movie, "Meet the Mormons."  We, of course, loved it.  On Friday we got to watch it again with our whole zone of about 24 missionaries.  It was so fun to see how much they enjoyed it along with their laughing and crying. 

We attended the temple on Saturday with some of the members of our branch.  It was a lovely day.

Sunday evening we had our "last supper" with our four branch elders while we waited for "the call" from our zone leader to let us know who would be transferred.  The call finally came and Elder Larson will be leaving but the other three will stay for another transfer - six more weeks.  There were some high fives and also some sad faces.  We always feel like we are losing a child.
