Transfer Wk No. 3 Continued

On Wednesday we welcomed the next group of missionaries from the MTC and what a special group they are. After meeting them at the orientation meeting at the office we met then again at dinner at the Presidents house. We always have the pleasure of listening to their testimonies before bearing our own. Now for a brief summary of Elder Saunders day.

Up at 5.30, can’t be late

Cos the new missionaries they can’t wait.
At the MTC, they are waiting for me, it is now 7.53!
We drive from Auckland down to Hamilton.
I’m glad the speed limit is a ton.

 At the mission office I give them the drill,

To clean their flats and then do the Lords Will.
I warn about fleas, cockroaches and the ants,
You spray your flat, all your clothes including your pants.
Untidy flats, NO, always clean up your mess.
Cleanliness is next to Godliness.
 A special bread roll for me from Sister Pappel,
Plum, apple and cake, now I’m pretty full.

I drive the Newbies up to Presidents home

Then go back to my house all alone.
 In my garage I sort the needed supplies into Zones
I have most of my list on my phone.

I drive back to the mission President’s home

Where I wait for my wife so I’m no longer alone.
  Sister Pappel ‘s dinner we all eat
Before into the lounge, we take our seat.
Testimonies are shared by everyone.
Then by 8.30 we are all done
 
I drive the missionaries back to the motel
Now its home sweet home by 9.30, that swell.
