Missionary Houses Inspections

Keith and I have received our inspection assignments and we have about 30 missionary homes to look at, repair, and restock. We have done 5 so far. Most were pretty clean. We found that missionaries have a problem with defrosting their freezers. Not one of the 5 had done that. Keith fixed leaks in hot water lines so the hermanas in district Rio Bueno II could wash their faces in hot water, mounted CO detectors on the wall of one house in district Rio Bueno III (the next day the hermanas told us that the duena is going to put in a wood stove for them and it will probably be on the wall that Keith used for the CO detector so that will have to move). Keith and two elders from district Rio Bueno I put together a pre-fab dresser with four drawers that came flat in a box (think IKEA) and had about 60 screws and 25 wooden plugs! It took the three of them 3 hours to put it together. The first drawer took almost 45 minutes to figure it out and put it together. Everything went much faster after that. I got to read the Liahona in English!  It was something to see!
