Transfers: August 24, 2011

Transfer day: a crazy day of exciting changes. Seeing friends, welcoming new faces, saying good-bye, taking on new challenges, moving, growing, learning, trying new things, going home. District Leader. Zone Leader. Senior companion. Assistant to the president? Greenie-breaking. Training. Threesomes. Visa-waiters. Setting Goals. Navigating a new area. Learning a new language. Really? It's a crazy day. But leave it to the missionaries - they are up for the challenge and all smiles about it. You gotta love 'em!

The new missionaries sign in, adding their names to those who have served before them, promising to sacrifice the things of the world for the things of God. Promising to serve God with all her heart, might, mind and strength.

I keep telling these Polynesians, I'm brown on the inside!

Getting ready to go home

Has anybody seen.....

The assistants get ready to make the new Zone Leader announcements.

Everyone seems pretty excited about their new areas and companions!

"We gotta do what?"

"I think they made a mistake.

This companionship is made up of an Elder and a Sister.

Can they do that?"

I keep telling Elder Hill there is a reason this jacket was such a good deal at the DI.

And the new sisters just watch in disbelief....

It is time for Elder Salisbury to go home, so we will need a new assistant.

Not like you can actually replace Elder Salisbury or anything.

But there's a new kid on the block.

Elder Green.

Elder Byrd will just have to train him.

Or maybe just take him under his Byrd wing.
