Mothers' Day is a big deal for the missionaries because they are allowed to call home. Most of the missionaries seem to have made arrangements to go to a member's home to access the internet to call using Skype or Facetime.
Since I still call and speak with my father each Sunday evening as I have done for the last 15 years or so, there wasn't anything unusual for us. Well, maybe the unusual aspect is that I remembered that it was Mothers' Day and bought a card for Renee. I have been hounding her for the last several days to pick a restaurant for a special dinner, but she said there wasn't anyplace that she was dying to go.
We have completed the rotation through all of the Sarasota Stake units, so we are beginning the rotation again. We attended the University Park Ward which is the ward where we actually reside. This is also the ward where there have been some issues with insensitivity by the missionaries. We spoke with several ward members, and hopefully have soothed the troubled waters a bit. During the third hour of the block, they wanted all of the sisters to attend Relief Society. The brethren were assigned to teach a combined youth meeting and also teach the Primary. I went to the Primary session and participated in their singing and other activities.
