INSPECTIONS CONTINUE IN ASHBURN 9-18-09

This is the 7th day of inspections.  We enjoyed the company of Sister Holmgren today.  It was so delightful to have her along.  We are inspecting the Ashburn Zone today.  
First stop of the day.  The Apartment of Elders Smith, Clinger, Yazzie and Cortez.  Elder Yazzie met us at the door.  Their is a picture of Jesus on the door.  All of our apartments have a pictures on the door and so it is easy to identify which one it is.  
Elder Gannaway with Elders Clinger and Smith. 
The four handsome Elders:Smith,Clinger,Cortez, and Yazzie. A really nice group of guys. They serve in the Hamilton and Leesburg wards. 
The whole gang.  It was nice to have Sister Holmgren with us today.  She is a real fun and sweet lady and it was nice for me to have another sister along. 
Elder Gannaway leaving the apartments. 
Nice looking apartment facade?
Home of the McCarley who willingly share their home with our sisters.  They have just fixed up the basement beautifully for them.

Ashburn, VA. The historic downtown district.  
These are two pictures of downtown Ashburn.  
3rd stop.  Elder Wilkey coming out to meet us.  Nice front door.  Wonderful Members sharing their home.  We are so blessed to have so many members willing to share their places with us. 
These two pictures show Elders Wilkey and Grundvig with the sweet couple, The Willetts that they live with.  This lady is an incredibly talented woman.  She sang with the army chorale for many years performing all over the world and for many presidents and dignataries.  She had 3 grand pianos in the house.   Elder Grundvig took a tumble on his bike.  That is how he got the broken arm and broken front teeth and chin scrap.  We're so glad he is OK.

We thought we'd show everything in this apartment.  Every missionary has a desk and they do their studies here.  It is a very important part of their day and their planning.  Looks good Sisters.

Nice and tidy sisters shoe display.
