Hna. Johnson had one of those days when everything unravels and you don’t know why. Interestingly enough her problems weren’t with IMOS for a change. It seemed that the Mission Department in SLC couldn’t decide who was coming to our mission in December and who was having their mission assignment changed to the Santiago Mission. Today one poor Elder was switched back and forth between our mission, Santo Domingo West and the Santiago Mission three times. Of course it’s only the paper work that is getting shuffled; thank goodness it’s not the actual missionary.

The switching back and forth of a missionary is a real hassle for the office staff of both missions. Every time a “Change of assignment” form comes in the e-mail Hna. Johnson springs into action and spends the next hour preparing all of the documents, forms and data bases for the new missionary. Then, when he is moved out of our mission Hna. Johnson has to completely remove the missionary from all of the mission office files, hard drives and data bases. It’s a lot of work. The final e-mail of the day came in from the Mission Dept. in SLC and they apologized for the foul up. They said they think they have everything straightened out finally.
