There is no such thing as a typical transfer it seems. This time there are three missionaries who will be departing on Wednesday, February 13: Elder Bigelow, Elder Gillespie and Elder Watson. While we still had the temple trip as usual, we did not have our usual breakfast. The morning of the breakfast was a zone training meeting where Elder Gillespie is the zone leader - so he couldn't come. Elder Watson is in the farthest area away from the mission home and had no other departing missionaries to partner with. So we met the elders at their zone training meeting to say goodbye.
Here are some of the missionaries I caught at the temple:
