Family and Friends,
This week was pretty crazy for me! These last changes we lost 32 missionaries because they all went home, but we only had 15 come in, therefore we didnt have enought missionaries to put them in every area. So being that I'm over all the houses in the mission President McMullin brought me into his office and asked me if I could end all the contracts of the houses that we dont need and move all the things out this week so that we dont have to pay another months rent.
So that's what I've been up to lately... Non-stop!! We've moved over 7 houses in the last 2 days! It makes it super hard when the landlords make a problem out of it. They always just think that we are in to steal their money so they put up a fight and try and get more money out of us then they deserve. Its frustrating but you've got to be Christ-like because its the church that your representing not yourself!
As well we went out to work (knock on doors) the other night and we are in a super rich part of town so we got rejected more than I ever have in my whole mission! I felt like I got my fair share of rejections in one day to last me the whole rest of my mission!! jajajMore...
Mom: So how do you “close” a house? What do you do with all of the furniture? Do you have a truck to haul stuff?
Jeff: well I have to get a 30 day notice done, a termination contract and the rent! Once the landlord signs the contract, then we can give them the keys back and then we can move the stuff out, but fortunately we have a member that does all of our moves for us, so he comes with his sons and they move most of everything for us!!
