We're getting pretty good at taking care of our duties on transfer week.  It's hard to say goodbye to the missionaries that are going home.  We become so close to each and every one of them.  They are amazing young men and woman.    It's also very exciting to get to know the new missionaries that are coming to the mission.

That's what transfer week is all about.  The missionaries that have completed their missions return to their families and new missionaries come to replace the ones that have returned home.  The missionaries that are still here in the mission, some of them will be transferred to a new area within the mission and will get a new companion.  Transfer week is a very exciting time for the missionaries.  It's also a very exciting and busy time for the whole mission.

Transfer week takes place every 6 weeks.  I'm attaching a couple of pictures of some of the missionaries that have stayed with us the night before they leave the mission and some that stayed with us the day they arrived in the mission.  The top 2 picture are of missionaries that have completed their missions & are going home.  All the others are new missionaries just coming to the mission.

Poor sister Ker, she was so sick.  We all felt so bad for her.
