We were getting ready to go to Fort Lauderdale’s district meeting when we found that it had been moved to tomorrow because President Anderson moved Train the Trainers to today. Thjs monthly meeting is for all trainers and their trainees from the last two transfers. From past experience we knew that after the meeting a lot of those companionships would be coming into the office to get supplies, chapel cards and to see elder Bare about vehicles and bikes. Because of that we did not take lunch at our regular time so we could help the missionaries with whatever they needed and to just enjoy their company. It also allowed me to take lots of pictures for our blog.

  

First in was elders Doria and Levy who were soon followed by our new elder Lamb and his trainer elder Fisher. They are serving Coral Reef area of the Homestead Zone. Elder Comstock is being trained by the ever smiling elder Rockwood – he usually has his eyes open.

  

Sisters Clayton and Johnson poised for a picture. Sister Houghton – sister Clayton’s companion is standing in elder Bare’s doorway while looking at the big missionary board. Sister Price with her trainer sister Tuai and sister Sablan with her trainer sister Beck.

  

Sisters Price, Sablan and Ellett were together in the MTC and were happy to have a picture taken of the threesome. Thumbs up all the way!  Elder Smoot came in to say hello and is seen here with sister Johnson.

  

Sister Bare was busy printing chapel cards but the missionaries had to cut them out. So elder Doria is in the first picture. Elder Winslow with his trainer and our old friend elder Rellaford are in the middle. Elder Hall is leaning against the cabinets while elder Rellaford continues to cut out chapel cards and elder Shipley works at a computer.

  

Elder Wilson and his trainee elder Brakey sport matching ties – elder Madson and his trainer elder Hall do not. Everyone smiles when thumbs go up. We have served in districts with both trainers and grew to know and love them greatly. Elder Page and his trainer elder Shepard serve Homestead West area.

  

Elders Madson and Winslow came into the mission together in January. Elders Wilson, Brakey and Hall enjoy a snack as do elders Madson, Winslow and Rellaford. The snacks and candy disappear quickly when this many missionaries come through.

  

Elder Rugg is training elder Brown in Hollywood Hills east while elder Elliott is being trained by elder Loucks up in Boynton Beach. It would not be a complete day if sisters Herrera and Stegelmeier did not come by. This sister Herrera’s second transfer as a trainee. The APs helped elder Bare put a new bike rack on their car.
