District Meeting

President Cusick changed the schedule for district meetings beginning today.  All of the meetings will be held on Tuesdays at 10 am.  That means we will only be able to attend one district meeting each week rather than the two that we have been able to attend in the past.

Today we drove south to Venice to participate in the district meeting there which includes the missionaries in Sarasota, Venice, and Port Charlotte Wards.  It was a good meeting.  The district leader, Elder Morris, conducted the meeting and lead the training.  He tried to get the other missionaries involved in discussions, but it is a quiet group.  The training was on planning.  They all looked at each others' iPads for their Area Book/Planner app.  The Church has developed a nice app for them to use to maintain their plan for each day along with information on investigators they are teaching.  The intent is for them to fill in their daily schedule with as much teaching as they can and then fill in the remainder of the day with personal contacting (the new term for tracting).

Following the meeting, we drove to the Sisters' apartment to take pictures of their mattresses.  President Cusick thinks that most of the mattresses should be replaced.  So we are now going to be taking pictures of the mattresses so we can get a better understanding of their condition.
