Dear Family
As usual the last 2 days have been very busy. Yesterday we were up at 5:00 to take 20 missionaries to the airport. We rented a big bus because there so many going and sooooo much
Luggage. They are each told they can take home 2 pieces of luggage under 23 kilos and a carry on. One of the missionaries came with 5 pieces of luggage . We are sending 2 of them home for about $300.00. He ended up paying $850.00 for the extra luggage because he wouldn't leave anything here. He is flying to Malaysia,then Singapore and then home to Kenya. He was a great missionary and will be missed. He passed the test to go to BYU Hawaii, so here is hoping he will be able to go. I helped 2 missionaries who were going to New Zealand. When it comes to big airport and international"stuff" they all revert to being young boys. So glad I was able to help them. They are these big "kiwi" boys and we will miss them. So many good missionaries and they are now gone.
We also had transfers on Tuesday . There are missionaries who came in, that we had never met. We have a large area in our mission and those who are out in the bush,rarely come in. We know there names but it is nice to shake their hands or give the Sisters a hug. There were probably 100 missionaries in here for transfer meeting. It is always good to have them here and see them enjoy being with each other.
Today we have started zone conference. We have about 60 missionaries in here today. The Stake RS did a wonderful luncheon. They had meat pies, scalloped potatoes, green salad, fruit and ice cream for dessert. On of the Chinese missionaries ,who I just love(Elder Chik) came in this morning at 8:00 and asked what we were having for lunch. I said I did not know,and asked him if he was hungry. He said he was starving. We had some chips in the back room and he was happy to have them.
I have been working at trying to find a tutor for one of our missionaries. He is from Vanewatu,and does not read or write. He has a wonderful companion,but he needs some help. Coming here makes me realize how blessed we are. We have been given so much and need to be thankful for
all we have.
I love you all and miss you. I am so proud of all of my family members and pray for you every day.
Love, Mom or Adrienne
