Transfer Meeting

The new missionaries began the day with usual medical orientation by Elder Young (his last time) and administrative tasks, insurance, driving, iPads, and most importantly debit cards.  Following lunch, President Cusick conducts some training, and then the transfer meeting is held.  This was a large transfer with almost half of the missionaries being transferred.  The challenge for the president has been to find 13 trainers for the new missionaries.

Renee has been sitting in on the medical intake interviews with Elder (nurse) Young as President Cusick thought she might need to take his place when his service ends next month.  However, we are getting a senior couple the end of September and Sister Alexander is a nurse and will take over any medical assistance that might be needed.

I always enjoy seeing the swarm of activity in the parking lot following the meeting.  Missionaries are moving luggage and bicycles and giving each other hugs.

Following the meeting, Sister Tawzer and Renee followed me in Sis. Tawzer's mission car to her new apartment in Bradenton.  She will be serving in a Spanish-speaking branch, although she doesn't speak Spanish.  I then had an interview.  Following that, we delivered some luggage to a missionary who was transferred.  All-in-all, another long day.
