We only had one appointment today, but it was an important one. Apparently, the Elders in the University Park Ward had offended some ward members by constantly asked them for referrals. So our appointment was to meet with the bishop to see if we could soothe the troubled waters.
We ended up with a 90 minute meeting with the bishop that I thought was quite positive. He was complementary of the Elders dedication and desire to find people to teach. He said that sometimes the missionaries are overly zealous but they are also young and lack some sensitivity that comes with experience. He asked how other wards are utilizing the missionaries. He clearly wants the ward members to be involved in missionary work, and we discussed some ways to do that. He is happy with the missionaries' efforts. We will attend the ward on Sunday and see how the ward members feel.
Today was Renee's birthday. I have been asking her to select a restaurant for a dinner both for her birthday and upcoming Mothers' Day. She said there wasn't anyplace in particular that she wanted to go, so she selected Steak and Shake, our new favorite hamburger place, for her birthday dinner.
