The bus to take 18 missionaries, the assistants, Elder Cuno and President and Sister Marler cancelled at the last minute.  So Elder Leavitt, whom we refer to as Super Secretary after this, found us a cute little van, Sister Marler's car and a taxi for the extra luggage and we were off to the mission home.
