Oh my gosh, the office is so busy. We have seventeen departing missionaries and thirteen arriving in about three weeks. Plus, we found out today that the Washington DC mission just got notice of thirty arrivals in February, which means that is something we can expect. Let me put this in perspective, normally if we have ten departures that is considered a lot, and if we have five to eight arriving, that would normally be considered a nice size group. Well, that’s a thing of the past. The amount of arrivals and departures means every aspect of the mission is affected: vehicles, housing, medical, and all that it takes to get the binders put together for each one. That is not even considering the amount of phone calls and paperwork that will increase. It is very, very exciting, but also of some concern because we all have to get adjusted. We are all learning to get even more organized. We work well together as a team!
Well, I could look like this . . .
