Departing and Arriving Missionaries

Every six weeks we get new missionaries coming to our mission and missionaries who have finished their missions going home. It's a real busy time for the office. My assignment is to make sure all those who are going home come to Rome from where ever they are serving for their last dinner at the Villa and depart from the Rome airport. I also help with the dinners and lunches that need to happen. It's an emotional time as these young people and the senior missionaries have been here for 18 - 24 months. August 4th, 25 missionaries departed and on August 6th 15 arrived. And on the 7th 40 missionaries were transferred all over the Rome mission.
