District Meeting in Sebring

The day started in a rush.  I set my alarm clock for 6:30 to prepare for our 8 am departure for the district meeting in Sebring.  It takes about 1:40 to drive there.  I thought I wouldn't need the alarm clock because I usually wake up between 6 and 6:30 anyway.  However, I forgot to turn on the alarm and didn't awaken until almost 7.  I guess I was tired.  However, I hurried and we were still ready to go by 8 am.

The district that meets in Sebring only includes 6 missionaries, 4 Elders and 2 Sisters.  Although it is a long drive for us, I'm always glad when we go there.  They appreciate our participation because I'm sure they feel isolated -- because they are.

The district meeting training today was a review of the zone conference training from last week.  Each missionary was asked what they had learned from the conference and to share a commitment he/she had made to change.  They then picked one of the commitments to role play.  The easiest to role play was talk with everyone, so that was selected.  The missionaries picked a "street" role, and then each companionship role played personal contacting.  They had a good time with it, and I think learned through the role playing.
