Interviews with the President - Part One

          President and Sister Woodbury love Interviews. The two and half weeks in which they occur are exhausting, draining, and a bit stressful, but also heart-warming, happy, and just plain wonderful. President Woodbury conducts the official interview with each missionary and Sister Woodbury talks to everyone more informally. They hear how each missionary is doing in their area and in their companionship, and about their personal well-being and testimony. 

          Before the interviews, in each location there is a short District Meeting including Accountabilities, and during the interviews, the Assistants to the President do training. Regarding the latter, this time around Elder Quick and Elder Anderson taught and trained about teaching to commitment.

         Each day there are three and sometimes four Districts to visit, occasionally two at the same building, but generally with 45 minutes to 2 hours travel time between. We are just over the half-way point with one more week plus a day to go. Here's who we've see so far:

        To break-up the training time, the Assistants did various activities including doing "power poses." A study was done about the effects of doing these poses, which are supposed to be universal around the world, and how they would make one more sure and confident. The first reminds me of Peter Pan's stance, and the second could almost be "Glory Hallelujah!" but is supposed to be more of a sign of  victory.
