Transfer Days are exciting. At the transfer meeting, the newly arrived missionaries find out who their trainers will be. With the shortened time in the MTC, the trainers have additional responsibilities in training the new missionaries. A special 12 week training curriculum has been developed for the new missionaries. The missionaries who are being trained have an additional hour of companionship study each morning as their trainer teaches them the new missionary curriculum.
Other transfers are announced at the transfer meeting as well. Because of the departure on Tuesday of many missionaries who held leadership positions, new zone leaders and sister training leaders were assigned. Also other missionaries were moved for various reasons. For example, the two missionaries who had been servicing in Wauchula were both reassigned, and no new missionaries were assigned there -- the area was closed.
Following the transfer meeting, we left our car at the mission office and drove a mission mini-van to Seminole, north of St. Petersburg, to pick up a sister who was a late notice transfer. We loaded her stuff into the van along with her bike and drove to Venice where she will be in a threesome. We then drove back to Sarasota arriving about 10:30. It made for a very long day.
