Our day began with our early morning prayers and devotional, as well as a change of plans. We were given the Wednesday morning training meeting off today, by the former mission president, but our new president reversed that decision and wanted to meet with all of us together. We met at our usual time of 8:00am. Then we had our world-wide missionary training at 11:00am, and then off to our site assignments at 1:30pm until 5:00pm.
The meeting with President and Sister Hall was very upbeat and informative. He was a football coach for several colleges, including BYU, and was most recently an administrator at BYU Rexburg. The meeting was very good and mom and I had the privilege of saying the opening and closing prayers. Here is what we saw this morning as we looked out the door;

At 11:00am we gathered together at the Stake Center for the world-wide missionary broadcast. It was under the leadership of the missionary department with several General Authorities leading discussions or giving instruction. My impression was that it was an outstanding training session for young missionaries, and perhaps their local leaders. The local leaders would have benefited from knowing what to help their upcoming missionaries prepare for as they near the missionary age. Other than that, it was not geared for senior missionaries.
Mom had the assignment to work at the Cultural Hall and I went to the Seventies Hall. I got to work with Elder Horlacher and we talked the entire four and a half hours while I finished another grandchild's knitted hat. This one is going to be sent to Bobby for his upcoming birthday. I now have Maddie's, Anna's and Bobby's hats done, along with a little hat for Faith. I am hoping the grandchildren will want to wear them!
The Rendezvous Play was cancelled tonight and mom and I enjoyed a quiet evening here at home.
