Today's P-Day.  It's also ZL's Council.  I went to the office this morning expecting to see Elder Wetenkamp.  I walked in the door into a big crowd of missionaries.  I heard Elder Tolman say, "Hey, Elder Wetenkamp."  He was pointing out to Wetenkamp that I was there.  I caught sight of Wetenkamp just as he came running across the room and gave me a big hug.  It was so good to see him again.  He's still my favourite companion.  This was probably the last time we see each other before we go home.  We were talking with Elder Hughes, too, and as we were, I realized that his companion is Elder Culbertson.  I looked over at the couch, and there he was, another of my favourite companions.  I went over and gave him a hug.  Elder Anderson, the new Tacloban zone leader, showed up, too, and we talked with him.  We all talked about getting together when we get home.  Basically, it greatly increased my trunkiness.
