This morning, we arose early, drove to Sam's, bought gas, went and picked up the Augusta Sisters and drove them to Macon, GA where was held the mission's first transfer meeting. President Cottle said that all but about 12 companionships were at the meeting. So transfers affected nearly everyone. The meetings began at 11:00 am and then after the announcements of the transfers were completed, then President Cottle met with all the missionaries who were going to be trainers. Sister Cottle met with all the Sisters. All the little side meetings finally ended around 2:30. Elder Gowans had already loaded up all the Sister's baggage in their cars and collected all their mail so that when they were finished we could get right on the road. We had told the Mack family that we would help them move into their new place beginning at 4 pm, but with the extra meetings going on, we didn't get back to Augusta until 4:40 pm. We had kept the Macks up-to-date with our progress. When Elder Gowans arrived at their home they had the truck about 1/3 filled and it was a long one. We filled the truck up and then took it to their new house and unloaded it and moved everything into their new house.By that time it was nearly 8 pm. We sat down and ate pizza and drank gator-aid and water. We then drove back to the old house and loaded up all the rest of their belongings and drove back and unloaded it all; this time it was a little less than half. As you can imagine we were all worn out.
