Elders Departing at the East London Airport for the flight to Cape Town

Today is a training day for Elder and Sister Thomas.  We are going with E&S Boyce so we can see what they do on transfer days.  The first stop is getting to the airport early so that they can make sure all the missionaries get on the plane to Cape Town.  This involves coming with a scale so that they can weigh the bags prior to the Elders checking in.

We see some missionaries that we have worked with in the Queenstown Zone at the airport either as they depart or as they come to drop off a companion who is being transferred.  We run into Elder Grant and Elder Smith who both worked in Sada.  Elder Potter tries to get a picture of a “fake hug” from Sister Thomas.  Elder Palelei is on his way home.  The last thing he said to Sister Thomas as he walked away was, “Sorry for the microwave thing”.  That is another story but it is mentioned here so we will not forget it.

Elder and Sister Boyce provide a granolal bar and an apple for the elders in the airport.
