What can you do in 24 hours

Had  a real busy couple of days but loved it.  I am tired but satisfied.   Went on a road trip to close a couple of apartments.   I took a young man, Nelson from Dartmouth Ward with me.   I couldn’t seem to find a traveling companion and then I saw this Young Man, he is about 30 years old, head out of Priesthood and I ran after him.  He was excited to go.   He has been a member for five years.  We had a good time together and I hope it was enjoyable to him.

Left 8 pm. Wednesday,  drove to Hopewell rock which was really cool.   This is on the Bay of Fundy which has some of the highest tidal wave changes in the world.  It is a huge tourist attraction in the summer but it was all closed.  We ran down to the shore line and took some pictures of the low tide and could see where the high tide comes in.   Amazing, where I am standing the water would be over my head at high tide.    We then stopped for fifteen minutes at a train museum which Nelson loved.  

I was dressed half way between casual work clothes and missionary clothes.   It was that kind of trip. 

Made it to Fredericton New Brunswick which is a beautiful City with Old Buildings and bridges.  Very picturesque.   We had 30 minutes to spare but we were sent to the wrong Uhaul.   This now put us 30 minutes behind.   In  the next  24 hours, exactly, we accomplished the following.

Picked up a 26 ft. Uhaul.   Moved all the contents out of an apartment with four Missionaries and cleaned as required.  Bought them supper.   Did a final inspection with the Landlord.  (We heard that their was snow coming and I said.   “As long as we can get the uhaul and load the apartment before it snows I will be happy”   While we were having supper with the Missionaires it started snowing.

Got Gas and almost took out the Gas Station.    Another story in and of itself.  No injuries, no damage claims.

Drove 4 hour in a Blizzard. (Usually a 2 hour drive)   Got to Moncton Apartment.   No beds so we slept on couch and floor.   Visited a member from Dartmouth that was in Moncton for Cancer treatment.  (Had to park the beast in the middle of the road because there was no where to park  and put 4 ways on)  

Emptied Moncton apartment with 5 missionaires, cleaned and inspected with Landlord.  

Drove to Amherst and picked up another bed   Snowing all the way until we hit Nova Scotia again and then it turned to rain and eventually stopped.  

Met four Elders at Storage unit in Dartmouth, emptied all contents and then took Uhaul back.   Not bad for 24 hours work and it was a lot of fun.   Better than sitting at my desk although it looked like someone had take a wheel barrow and poured paper on it when I got back.    All part of being a Mission Office Couple.
