Apartment for Rent

Today's post is pretty short, but it provides more detail about our primary focus, which is providing safe and secure housing for the young missionaries. We currently have 140 young missionaries living in 53 homes or apartments. We try to visit each apartment (I'll use the term apartment for the rest of this post, even though most missionaries live in standalone houses) once every six weeks, and we've mostly been successful with that cadence. As you've seen from previous posts, we fill the truck each morning with the supplies needed for each stop, although sometimes we leave more things than we planned to at an apartment in the morning, which shortchanges an apartment in the afternoon. We shop again at night (or early the next morning) to replenish our supplies and do it all over again the next day.
