Flat Inspections in Gisborne

The weekend after Taranaki we went to Gisborne. One of the Elders flats had been burgled!!!!! So we took down a new washing machine and dryer, they also needed more fans. While we were there Elder Saunders did a few flat inspections. Although he’s not the flat inspector he is in charge of the flat inspectors also it gives him an idea of how clean and tidy the missionaries are really keeping their flats. Plus it’s nice to see the missionaries out in the field and we can personally offer them our help. I do get to talk to loads of missionaries on the phone and it is nice to meet them in person. One idea that we have had is to give out little rewards for keeping their flats clean and tidy. All we had was biscuits handy so we handed out a few of them. But this weekend we also gave them things they needed in their flats. For example one of the sisters needed a fan and we had a spare one in the car so we gave her that. Another two sisters wanted curtains so we bought and fitted them. That was such a coincidence because the coloured curtains we bought matched the colour outfits they were wearing that day.
