The week after transfers all the Missionaries have Zone meetings so we planned to visit the Auckland Zones to deliver the last of the quilts. As usual we went to the office first to collect any mail. We arrived at Redoubt Zone at 9.30. We were very impressed with the Zone Leaders as they had already collected all the old blankets from the missionaries and they were in the back of their car. Within half an hour we were finished giving out the quilts and had all our photos taken.
Next was Manurewa. They only informed us while we were travelling up to Auckland that morning that they needed supplies. So we popped into a local shop to find what they needed. By the time we arrived they were just finishing their meetings. So that actually worked out well. Another quick photo session and issuing out of the quilts.
Papakura Zone was last and they had to wait around about 20 minutes for us but they didn’t complain when we arrived. Again another photo session.
All three of these visits were very emotional as this will be the last time that we get to talk to each of the missionaries. Yes there will be another chance to see some of them at the upcoming Temple trip but as yet those missionaries do not know about the trip. So this is the start of our farewell visits.
