Saturday, June 1st
We had to get up early and take the missionary money out this morning. It about killed me to get out of bed. By Saturday I am exhausted! I need some down time. But once we got going we had a great time. We love being with the young missionaries and now that we know them it is really fun to be with them. We didn’t give out a lot of Snickers today but I have raised my standards, especially when they know that we are coming. I was encouraged though, most of the MQ’s were pretty clean. The missionaries are doing better.
I had an “a hah” moment today. It seems that this mission is upside down. The young missionaries get up at 6:30, exercise, eat, get cleaned up and then study. They leave their MQ at 11:00 AM. The senior missionaries get up between 5:00 and 6:00, exercise, eat, get cleaned up and leave to start their various callings by 7:30 to 8:00 AM. What’s up with that? I want to leave for work at 11:00. We’re old, we should have an easier schedule than a 19 year old! Who do I contact about this??
We spent the afternoon doing laundry and cleaning and then decided to relax and watch a movie. We watched Baptists at My Bar-B-Q. It was kind of dumb but funny and we enjoyed it.
