We first drove to Bradenton to participate in the Mission Leadership Council. Originally, President Cusick was going to hold the meeting at a pavilion at one of the beaches on Anna Maria Island which is near Bradenton. However, he thought that since tomorrow is the 4th of July, the beaches might be busy. So it was held in the Bradenton church building.
We discussed topics for district training meetings for the coming month. President Cusick is concerned that the training topics are not always followed in the district meetings. He said the first couple of weeks are OK, but then the training sometimes strays off topic. So they will try to be more explicit in their instructions to the missionaries. The upcoming training will be a continuation of our training last week on the ward council's responsibilities for member missionary work.
After the training, the missionaries drove to a park at the RiverWalk in downtown Bradenton and played volleyball. We were there for a few minutes and then drove to the Mission Office for a Senior Missionary District meeting.
All of the senior missionaries were able to participate. We talked about our backgrounds and assignments, and had pulled pork sandwiches. We decided that we would try to get together every two months or so.
Before returning to Sarasota, we picked up a bicycle for one of the sister missionaries. It had been at a bike shop in Tampa for repair. She was anxious to have it back since the bike she had borrowed from a member was much too small for her. I'm glad that we were able to help out.
