The second week of February we had a HUGE transfer. Because of visa problems many of our missionaries couldn't come earlier, so we got seven-teen new missionaries this transfer. We also had eight elders go home.Transfers are a three-day process with missionaries coming and going in our home and office and lots of meals and meeting, as we say goodbye to wonderful departing missionaries and greet and train those who have just arrived.
There are always interesting circumstance when we get new missionaries. This group contained Sister Ilunga. When we arrived in Lubumbashi we were very nervous about going to church the first day. Brother Desiré, his wife, children and two nieces surprised us by coming to our house to take us to church. It was a tender mercy to us. Sister Ilunga was one of the nieces who gave us that special service. Small world! Happy connection!
We all work together getting papers ready, taking pictures, fixing meals, collecting and distributing supplies,doing training and then packing them all into vans and delivering them to their apartments. Transfer week is always CRAZY & EXCITING!
