If you sign up for 3 years you get a nice home near the mission office...this is where the mission president and his wife live, President and Sister Rasmussen from Idaho. Picture below

But the Jones, who live in Solihull were called to serve for 18 months and they have a very nice pad. That's due in large part to a previous couple who decided to furnish the flat to a very high standard.
Seriously, we're very happy for the Rasmussens (3 years?!!!) After serving here just a few months, we know that mission presidents deserve the best! And the Jones, who are the PR people for all of the UK, busy people! are so generous and have invited us peons over for Sunday dinner many times. They share their BBC movie series with us - for instance, Pride and Prejudice, which we are watching in segments since it has 6 parts. When we complete them, we'll visit Hawthorne House in Derbyshire. Much of P&P was filmed there.
No matter how "posh" your flat may be, there are some surprises over here. Elder and Sister Jones have the "toilet that keeps on giving". Their bathrooms back up on each other and sometimes the one toilet literally backs up into the other! (Oh hello there! You're back - tootsie roll!)
The first 5 photos below were taken at the Jones' flat in Solihull.

| Such an honor to stand next to the shrubbery! |

| Stop it! I don't feel a day over 60! |
The knights who say NEE! demand that you chop down that shrubbery with a...............herring!!
