Goin' Hiking

We went directly to the grocery store after work today. Our cart was full, and we were both carrying another bag or two on the two block walk home. As we approached the elevator, we saw that it was blocked off and the elevator lights werent on. Great! If we'd known, we wouldnt have filled the cart. As luck would have it ( or call it a tender mercy), there were about ten missionaries sitting in the foyer waiting for taxis to take them to the airport. They were going home. We stopped to talk, of course. Elder Mendenhall, from Richmond, offered to carry our cart up four flights of stairs! He did it easily, didnt even break a sweat. Jay is getting better at climbing the stairs, and I am, too. When we got to the top of our hike, the door was locked to our floor, and we dont have a key. I knocked really loudly on the door and eventually one of the temple missionaries opened their door, saw us, and let us in. Today has been full of tender mercies.
