After lunch and waiting for group orientation to begin.
I love it when new missionaries arrive. The whole mission gets excited and everyone wants to see and meet the new batch. While we are involved in orientation, half of the mission (it seems like it) is gathered across the street at the mission office getting new phone assignments, picking up mail and supplies, trying to figure out where a new apartment is located, taking pictures, and we have luggage everywhere! The other half of our Cavite missionaries are either in a jeepney transferring to another area or out working because their companionship was not affected today. This is what transfer day is all about, and although we are exhausted by the end of the day, we really do love it because we know we have been a part of one of the many miracles of missionary work. That is - getting 188 elders and sisters moved, settled, and orientated within 9 hours.
That is pretty amazing when you realize that it would take me
F-O-R-E-V-E-R to get 4 Young Women to clean a 4'x6' bathroom at Girl's Camp.
What an awesome looking bunch of missionaries. Thank you so much for all you do President and Sister Tye!
ReplyDeleteI echo that. I can't tell you how much it means to see these pictures and hear about what is going on in the mission. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
