More Car Washes

Our missionaries serving in the Logan, Independence and Philadelphia 5th Wards (ie congregations) held a free carwash for the public. They washed almost 90 cars, including a policecar and an electrician's large truck. One man thought it was such a good deal that he went come and brought his wife's car back. He got a two-fer.




While cars were being washed we invited the drivers and passengers to come into the church building for a tour. Over 100 people toured the building. Women from the three wards provided homemade cookies and punch. One visitor was excited when he saw that we had a large indoor basketball court and that there was a Saturday morning "pick-up game" in progress. He abandoned the building tour and joined in the game.



Following the carwash, Joyce and I treated all of our exhausted missionaries (it was 90 degrees with very high humidity) to Burger King for lunch. The Burger King is directly next to the church.
