The First Batch

It seems so strange to be saying this, but last night, the first batch of returning missionaries left Maxwell for the airport. Janice and Cody, two SMs from Tanzania, had been staying at maxwell for almost a week due to visa issues, and last night they began their long journey back home to the States. Their leaving seems to have made our own departure even more of a reality than it already was. The trading of items between SMs and in the market has begun in earnest now, and people have started filling suitcases. The next group leaves in a week, and it's strange to think about our SM group fragmenting.

Safe travels!
