Today was our zone Recognition meeting. All five of our brand new missionaries completed their Level 1 training, and were recognized for that achievement. They each can officially serve in floor positions now! Just in time for Roots Tech, this will give them the opportunity to ve a valuable support in our zone. By the end of the day, two of the five had already certified in the basic training, and the other three are well on their way in that accomplishment.
I got to announce the birth of my great-granddaughter, and also having obtained an appointment at the St. Louis Missouri Temple for my marriage to my Sweetheart. And since my birthday is this month, I was part of the group for whom Happy Birthday was sung.
The monthly pot-luck was very nice, with quite a few main dishes, lots of bread and butter, vegetables, and some desserts. I avoided most of the desserts, but towards the end of the time someone brought in a cheesecake--irresistable! I maybe made up for that indulgence by having quite a minimal supper.
I had some time as a Helper this morning, but was not actually needed for any of the guests, so I spent some time doing lessons and activities for Level 3 training. I actually listened to the short Latin course, even though I had completed the worksheets several months ago. There are 12 other sets of instruction that I should go through and work on the worksheets for. I do not know if I will finish this training, but I probably should be working on it!
After choir practice and a brief talk with my youngest this late afternoon I made a trip to the dollar store. I had a few things I wanted to get, and we are due for some nasty weather again, so I was glad to get that done.
My Sweetheart and I talked for a few minutes this morning, and again for a longer time tonight. I am so grateful for the electronic devices that help us stay connected.
