Apartment Checks August 2019

We had scheduled to do apartment checks on August 1 & 2, but it turned out our zone interview day with Pres. Mack, originally scheduled for Aug. 6th was changed to the 1st. So we were going to flip the events to do apartment checks on the 6th and keep 2nd the same. However, with typhoon bearing down on us, due to hit us on the 6th, we decided to do apartment checks on the 7th and just head up to Fukuoka from our last apartment at Nobeoka for the Fufu (Sr. Couples) conference. Everything worked out pretty well according to our latest schedule. Apartment checks went smoothly on Aug 2nd and after Kagoshima Sisters' apartment, we went up to the Church building to check what can be done to clean up some of the landscaping. Discovered the shed out back had some tools, like an electric mower, so I hooked it up and started chomping down the weeds / grass that had grown over a feet tall. In the process of mowing, I saw several mostly black butterflies.  They are the largest live butterflies I have ever seen personally.  I tried to take photos but they were fluttering so fast, I couldn't get a good shot of them. Everything went smoothly for the apartment checks on the 7th.  We made it to Fukuoka in pretty good time but then when got to the outskirts of Fukuoka, traffic went crazy.  Traffic jam galore.  Apparently there was a car accident so we got stuck in traffic on the highway.  It took a long time trying to get off the freeway to try the local streets, but then our GPS unit doesn't have feature to tell us to bypass traffic congestions, so it led us smack into the central business district during rush hour.  It took us nearly another 2 hours to get to the Fukuoka Mission Home.
