it was just over $30K, and the senior missionary would put all the cash in a big briefcase and my comp and I would drive him and translate.

Apparently someone at the bank tipped off some pro robbers, and when we got back to the office building where the mission office was, the robbers stepped into our elevator on the 1st floor as we were going up from the parking garage to the office, pistol in our chest with a request for the briefcase, watches and wallets.

Took the area offices many months to fix that robbery for our mission, we never had money in our account and had constant issues because they wouldn't reimburse the robbed funds quickly, but we stopped getting all the missionary funds in cash after that, the church finally let us use a national bank to send funds out to accounts where missionary could get the funds for just themselves from a local bank instead of having ZL's and DL's running around with large piles of cash every month.
