Transfer - Outgoing
All the missionaries who completed their mission met at the mission home. They had breakfast in the morning, attended a training at the area office, came back to the mission home for lunch, and had a testimony meeting. After the testimony meeting, each missionary left for the airport (or picked up by the companion to go back to their area :those who will be leaving mid-transfer).

Missionaries were picked up one by one. . .Then
only four sisters were left. . . They had midnight flights, so we had to wait for a while. While waiting, we walked to the lake in front of the mission home (Lake Pupuke).
Then it was sisters turn to be picked up.
