We received a call from Sisters Johnson and Da Rosa last night after they had arrived in their new apartment which had been inhabited by Elders for the past 6 years. The Elders claimed the apartment was clean. I guess that depends on whose standards are being enforced. There was terror in the sisters' voices. Sister Cordon and I drove over to their apartment, reviewed the situation, and then gathered them up and took them to the mission home where we promptly put Sister Johnson to bed to get some much needed sleep. In the morning we took several new items including new pans, tables, a new mattress, and a blender to their apartment and then cleaned for two hours. It will be a great little apartment for them once we get it painted. Oh what elders will do to an apartment over several years. The highlight was removing an old picture and finding that some elder had drawn a "hidden safe" on the wall.
