We got off to an early start. The APs came by at 7:15 for breakfast with 3 who will be traveling down to The Dalles this morning. They were up before the rest to begin their journey.
We took these 3 into the office to see the transfer board. They looked for their pictures with their new companions.
By 7:30 they were loaded up and on their way south.
The APs drove to Goldendale, and dropped of, then picked up missionaries transferring north from our southern zone. 
The rest were up and ready for breakfast at 8:30. Our signature waffles, homemade syrup, bacon and egg casseroles. YUM. Also some steel cut oats for the healthy.
After breakfast we had more orientation meetings downstairs. There’s lots to learn when you get here. And it’s all fun. This is a great group!
Here are a few of the dozens of pages of info in the orientation packets:
Here is our group minus the 3 who left early this morning for The Dalles.
Now it was time for the rest to learn where they’d be serving.

Finding their next home and companion:
Excitement is high. We made sack lunches for today’s travels, then tagged and loaded all the luggage to head to the Yakima Stake Center transfer site.
There’s a little laundry to do.
Now the fun will really begin!
