8:30 am- Got ready
9:30 am- I guess I should mention the Lord is amazing. Although this New York adventure has been crazy thus far, He has put wonderful people in our way to help us (Claire, Joe and Elder and Sister Hibbert). The Hibbert’s main responsibility as missionaries is to do the moving for the Elders and Sisters. They help with transfers and getting them all set up. Because of this, they said we could use some of the mission’s furniture that was in storage. So at this time we drove to the storage unit and got a bunch of kitchen supplies. We will also be getting to dressers and two chairs here shortly. This definitely took a lot of pressure off Todd and I. This adventure has not been cheap so a little savings has been wonderful. Thank you!!!

3:00 pm- Made it back to our apartment and cleaned
5:30 pm- Headed back to Wal-Mart to return some shower curtains (the master bath has a tub but it was too dirty and has a huge window that people can see in so we decided to save $25 on two shower curtains and a curtain rod).
