Mission Leadership Council with Smart Phones!

Today was a Big Historic Day in the WYM!  The mission leaders got their Smart Phones!!  We’ve had a long full day of meeting, learning, training and setting up the phones.  Missionaries began arriving at 8:15 for our 9:00 meetings.Parents have ordered and sent phones to the office, where Sis Call has been very busy charging them and getting them set up for today.  Missionaries arrived with their Area Books and Excitement for this big day!A bit of visiting before the meeting:Here are our Zone Leaders and Sister Training Leaders:Prelude:Sis Call gave everyone a labeled SIM card holder (pill bottle) to keep the cards safe during transfers:Opening hymn:Today’s agenda:Getting Started!The Calls and McKeens joined us:Elder and Sis McKeen helped everyone move into their phones:SIM cards:Every missionary will have their own personal phone, but only one phone in each companionship will have a SIM card, which allows it to act like a full-featured phone.  The second phone will work off that phone (hot spot) as a means to send and receive texts and show media.  Only the one phone will have the capacity to make and receive calls.The APs did some training on entering the Area Book information into the phones.  This is one of the greatest gifts of using smart phones.  All contacts, maps, and teaching records will now be accessible in the phones.Everyone practiced entering information into their phones from their Area Books:All of this took us until 12:30.  It was time for a lunch break!
