Elder East was back in Adelaide, covid-free and busy with transfers that occurred on the previous Tuesday (3rd May). After transfers on the Tuesday, they had ten new missionaries arrive on the Wednesday. These new missionaries included greenies as well as three missionaries from New Zealand and three from the USA. Sister Bridge also completed her mission and went home this week, so lots of changes in the mission.
Thursday was spent helping with orientation for all of the new missionaries resulting in another hectic day. The APs also had to prepare for the Missionary Leadership Council that was being held the following day (Fri 6th May) as they were going to provide training during the MLC.
Friday involved holding the Missionary Leadership Council, with Elder East providing training on standards.

Sunday was Mother's Day and Elder East was also able to call home and chat with his Mum. He sent through the following picture that he'd taken earlier in the week.
Elder East says that it's going to be a very hectic 5 weeks during the remainder of his mission.
- There is a really big transfer coming up.
- There will be an opportunity to go to the Temple next Wednesday (11th May).
- Their Ward (Firle) will be having a cottage evening in two weeks' time (Sun 22nd May), and the APs will be doing some lessons as a part of the meeting.
- Elder Brent H Nielson from the Presidency of the Seventy will be coming to Adelaide in the coming weeks.
- President Johansson's mother-in-law passed away whilst they were all in Darwin. President will be staying in the mission, but his wife and son willbe accompanying her body back to New Zealand and assisting with the funeral.
Elder East also sent us the following photo from Elder Chick. he says that they're going to try and recreate some of the photos of their parents together on their missions.
