Transfer Day

Transfer day is a busy day. The new missionaries come the day before, Monday, and spend time at the mission home, eating and being trained and interviewed. We meet Tuesday morning at a church with the new missionaries and the new trainers. They meet separately to be trained. We then bring them together for training and to get to know each other. After all the training we hold a transfer meeting. Everyone in the mission is invited even if they aren't being transfered. President Barry teaches doctrine and goes over rules. The new missionaries are introduced by their trainers and transfers are announced. We then have the departing missionaries bear their testimonies. It is a powerful end of a powerful day.


Sister Christison (left, we miss you!) trained Sister Haflund (right) for the past 6 weeks.  Sister Christison went home after Transfer Meeting.
