Another Transfer Day

This was a BIG transfer. We have lost close to 30 missionaries in the past 6 weeks and so it was time to do a lot of transfers. I always love our transfer meetings. President Carlos and his Assistants work hard to make it a very spiritual experience. They find the most uplifting music and videos to watch. We add some musical numbers and often missionaries are asked to come up and bear their testimonies. This time Sister Pence played a beautiful medly of hymns while each misisonary sat in silence and tried to prepare spiritually for a new companion and in many cases a new area. The spirit of the Holy Ghost was very strong and we were very much uplifted. Here are a few random shots taken throughout the day.

The chapel was almost full of missionaries who were affected by this transfer.

There's always some missionaries that find their way to the mission home for a little lunch or snack.
