On the one hand it has been very nice to have an extended fall. On the other hand, abrupt changes in the weather are a bit hard to adjust to. Yesterday the high was 73 and it was very sunny. Tonight we are due for snow, with the first frost coming also. Before this mission I thought that only Missouri weather was schizophrenic. I was wrong!
This morning I chose to stay in the Training room instead of attending a committee meeting. I am glad, because I think I would have just gotten upset, and I would not have been there to reassure one of the new missionaries when a difficulty came up.
I pointed out to the scheduler that I have not been given any designated time for skill development, which has newly been implemented in our zone. I do not mind so much, as long as I can use some of the time in the Training room to work on How to Guides and lessons, and I was assured that was just fine.
I dozed off again during Mission Conference, and woke up at about the same place in the talk as yesterday. Our singing went Ok--I actually think we did it better yesterday, but it was still pretty neat. During our practice after conference we began learning a version of the beautiful "Mary, Did You Know". I had not before realized how tricky the timing is in that song--it has a lot of syncopation.
Since I did not have to work late tonight I went to the nearby market and also to a dollar store. This evening I enjoyed talking with my Sweetheart. Before I went to the Library this morning I talked with my oldest daughter.
Tonight I noticed some drafts, so I covered the air conditioner and blocked off some of the sliding glass doors. Winter weather is definitely here.
