Transfer oktober 2012 verslag van Zr. Nielson

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2012

The Trainers had showed up and were meeting with President Nielson.  Our new Trainers:  Elders Zelezniak, Myler, Hooker, Van Bakel, Sister Forsey, Elders Tiner, Rogers and Fletcher.  Soon the new Missionaries arrived at the mission home, and it was time to put the Trainers and Trainees together!

Elder Stumpf will be trained by Elder Van Bakel.

These two Elders will serve in Szczecin and will be serving alongside two other Elders in that great city.  They now are their own District!

 Everyone had an enjoyable time finding out about the person they would spend the next 8+ weeks with.

 They visited and visited and visted until it was time to get back to work.

As each Missionary sat next to their new companion, there was a great spirit in the room.  This is going to be a great tranfer!

 That night after a good dinner and a great testimony meeting, our Warsaw

Transfers! Our New Missionaries head out into the field

It's time to get these new Missionaries to their assigned areas!

Getting everyone packed, fed and out the door to get ahead of the morning Warsaw traffic is always a challenge.  This morning it went off without any glitches.  Elders Finch, Myler (both have a long day ahead of them as they head to Gdansk), Tiner and Stockford (heading to Poznan), Rogers and Lanham (going to Bialystok) Smith and Zelezniak (heading to Lodz), Van Bakel and Stumpf (another long day as they have a 6 1/2 train ride to Szczecin) and Sisters Forsey and Bown (heading also to Lodz). 

 One last picture of everyone unloading at the Train Station in front of the Palace of Culture (aka: Stalin Building).

Making sure everyone has their luggage. Sometimes it appears to be a 'free for all'...

They all left and found the correct trains.  (Later that night, we heard that all made it safe and sound to their new areas.)
