PREPARATION DAY
El presidente and I went and did some preparation day activities with one our zones. We did a two-legged scavenger hunt and played capture the tie. I brought homemade chocolate chip cookies. It was nice to spend time with the missionaries in an informal setting and we had a great time.

Anyone recognize these two? They are both former missionaries in the Panama mission. Love the shirts guys!!

TRANSFERS/CAMBIOS
We welcomed 17 new missionaries this week and sadly had to say goodbye to 13 wonderful missionaries! We will miss you and wish you the best of luck.

Arriving missionaries (welcome!) and some of their trainers:

Departing missionaries (buena suerte y les amamos):

A whole lot of luggage.

MISSIONARY FOR A DAY
One of our zones had a "missionary for a day" activity where all the missionaries did divisions with a youth for an entire Sunday. It was very successful!

ON THE STREET
Ran into two sets of missionaries on the street the other day. That almost never happens to me unless I'm walking near the mission office.

TEACHING APPOINTMENT -- President and I tagged along. They did a great job.

INTERVIEWS

Out inspecting apartments -- only 4 out of 21 apartments earned brownies : ( Several apartments were close, though, and I know we will do better next time!
