2018 July 5-6, 10-12, 18-19, 24 Interview Training

This interview cycle, President Leavitt and I drove to different chapels each day. We had very full days of training and interviewing. Most of the Elders were to try coming to their interview without using their car. We are trying to prepare for our no car week the last full week of July. The Elders started early to try new transport methods. Sometimes it took a very long time to arrive and sometimes it was quicker than anticipated. But I enjoyed my training time with them while they waited for their interview time and until their traveling companions were also finished. I  brought crackers, cut cheese sticks, cookies and KFC Chicken Twisters for them to enjoy when we had a break.

The training I presented was on finding (PMG chapter 9, recent training from President Hamilton, President Koch, President Clayton, & two bible videos). 

Forgive me for the lack of photos. I was so engaged that I usually didn't take them.
