Transfer Day-Aug 3, 2011

Transfer Day was held August 3rd in Moore, OK. There are several phases to transfers. First, we have new missionaries and their trainers arrive and provide some training. Then we have the trainers remove their nametags and come into the room with the new missionaries, who have studied the trainers names and faces. The new missionaries do pretty well at identifying each missionary!

Time for transfer meeting--all the missionaries come into Moore to meet their new companions and travel back to their areas.

After transfer meeting all the departing missionaries load up and head to the temple for one last session together, then its off to the mission home for exit interviews and some final meetings.
