On Thursday morning, Elder Tia, Elder Siale and Elder Palkki were brought to the mission home by other missionaries. Some ate egg casserole, wors and/or cereal. They weighed their bags, made a memory page, signed journals, ate, visited and had an interview by President Leavitt. Elder Siale also took an English test via a computer proctor Sister Leavitt arranged.
At 1:30 pm, our assistants, Elder Bogosavac and Elder Witts, joined us as we had a farewell lunch and meeting and took departure photos. Our office elders, Elder Eriksen and Elder Spencer, arrived at 2:40 pm to pack up their bags and take Elders Tia, Siale and Palkki to the airport.
We also had a mini transfer on Thursday and the next Monday, 31 December. Because of our three departing missionaries, Benoni/Boksburg area closed and Elder Forward transferred to Elder Sol in Dobsonville and Elder Barnum transferred to Elder Ondricek in Krugersdorp. Elder Papenfuss transferred from Dobsonville to Bedfordview with Elder Bah. Elder Gray transferred from Bedfordview to Edenvale with Elder Osmond. Elder Kisembo transferred to Birch Acres with Elder Neeley. And Elder Campos transferred to Alexandra with Elder Blaauw.
We originally had three language missionaries coming on New Year's Day, but none of them received their visas. Our next transfer of missionaries is 22 January 2019.
