The Fastest Transfer on Record!

Pennsylvania Pittsburgh Mission 
April 26-June 8, 2018


District Meetings and Interviews

During a transfer we go to each of the 24 districts and President Bednar will interview each missionary while Sister Bednar sits in on the district meeting. (This is only about half the districts)
