She Doesn't Preside but she does most of the work

She's checks them in. She has her list and she checks it twice and doesn't matter who they are they have to show her everything. Inside the envelope they get letters, envelopes, pen, marking pencil, White Handbook, name tag just to name the biggies...they also have to show their Passport, Temple Reccomend, hand in their ticket, show their yellow fever card and bear their testimony (ok, that's a little overkill, but she makes sure they have one)...
At this desk they get 'dewormed', doxied for Malaria, blood typed, measured for temple clothes and have their picture taken. She knows more about them before she's through than their 'real' mothers. That special cup in front of her holds the pregnancy test kits. WE may be the only MTC in the universe who does that test - but it has produced two 'positive' results...probably ought to be called a 'negative' result...not fun to have one of those problems to solve.
