Transfer Day for all missionaries going home and from one area to the other. Everyone met at the Hauptbahnhof (The main train station). Their were about 50 missionaries there at once so of course I had to take pictures. The Elder's with the hats are obviously going home. Everyone was hugging each other. It was our job to make sure they all got on the right train. Everyone had left but 4 elders so we stayed with them to make sure they didn't run off some place. Two of them asked if they could go get lunch as they were going to be on the train for 4 hours. We said yes, but they were late coming back and we had to run with their luggage to catch the train. Two of them barely got on. Heart attack city. It was wild and tiring but we got the job done.
Their was a testimony meeting for the ones leaving the mission and it was a tear jerker. Most of them bore their testimonies in German but a few did it in English. A Sister and an Elder had their parents fly in to pick them up. They were there too. I guess they will be touring Germany for a while. Sounds like fun to me. I think this was one of the most stressful days I have had, and by far the most exhausting. I went home and fell into bed. Check out all the beautiful people serving the Lord.
