One of our assignments is to make unannounced visits to missionaries' apartments to see if they are being properly maintained. Today was our first day to do that. We drove to Port Charlotte (1 hour drive) and looked at the two apartments used by missionaries there.
One of the apartments is actually a small, two bedroom house. It is in a neighborhood of similar houses and is located close to the Port Charlotte building. Elders live there, and it was in better condition than I had expected. Our assignment is to take lots of pictures of the apartment, and check for cleanliness, problems with paint on walls (or holes), condition of the oven, etc. I find it a bit creepy to be going into someone apartment. (We got keys from the spares maintained in the mission office.) But I guess it is good that the missionaries know that someone is checking on them.
We then visited the sisters apartment which is located about 5 miles from the chapel but in a very nice complex. It was also in good shape. As we were leaving, the sisters arrived back to fix dinner. We literally were opening the door to leave as they arrived. I think we scared them a bit. They were on their bikes and were hot and sweaty. I felt sorry for them, but they were in good spirits.
