Okay - it is now Tuesday night. When trying to reroute our 13 missionaries, we were told their airline (Frontier) could not get them all here to Santa Barbara until Wednesday. NOT an option, as we have transfer meeting Tuesday. They ended up flying Southwest into LAX . In two legs. Elder Mecham and Elder Blue brought 11 of them in around 4 p.m. (to Ventura), then Elder Mecham and I returned almost immediately to collect the other 2 elders. We arrived back to Ventura around 9:40 p.m.
This is the happy group Tuesday morning prior to their Orientation Meeting

I have a couple more pictures to post, but I just wanted to say that transfer meeting is the best! It was such a spiritual meeting -- just wish I could bottle it to open and "taste" on a regular basis. It is not possible to write that sort of feeling down. It was just an awesome meeting, and I am ever amazed at President and Sister Castro and their sensitivity to the Spirit and ability to teach and inspire. Loved it!
This evening, Sister Blue and I prepared the meal for the departing missionaries. It turned out good. (Ham, scalloped potatoes, rolls, peas, corn, salad) Then we had a wonderful testimony meeting with the departing six elders and one sister. Great meeting!
Elder Mecham and Elder Blue will transport them to LAX tomorrow morning. Again, President Castro gave an inspiring message to these departing missionaries. Again, the Spirit was so very tangible.
Great experiences. Great day. Long couple of days. Very tired. Going to bed now :) More later . . . .
