Seems like we should have had enough to do last month, but we also had the chance to do a makeover on the mission home and couldn't pass up the chance. We got a new couple and had to furnish an apartment for them. So, I went shopping for furniture in the price range for a missionary couples apartment. There wasn't much available, but I got an idea as I looked. The mission home hadn't had much furniture changed in the last few years and although the Headlees had done a lot to the apartment, the "grand salon" was in need of some updates. So, we got permission to work on it and use the furniture that was there before in the new couple's apartment. Shopping for furnishings was an interesting process in the Congo and Rule #1 certainly applied, but in the end we were very happy with the changes.
New blinds are ordered to replace the heavy drapes that cover the window which extend across one wall, but it already feels like a much more welcoming and comfortable home to us.
