4/23/17 Family Council

This morning Heidi and I had our Executive Family Council followed by regular Family Council. It does feel like it is getting better. There is less crying, people are coming more ready to participate and we even stayed on our agenda. We reviewed he past week and talked about places we can improve. Then we talked about things already on the calendar and filled in the empty spots in the evenings. That last step has been much harder in the past than it was today. It was not perfect, there was some crying and one person felt they were being forced to sit there when they weren't contributing anything. We were able to talk about how this isn't a meeting for them to simply sit in so we can tell them what to do. It is a chance for them to influence the plan. If I had to give it a grade I'd say B or B plus.
After church Pierre and I went home teaching to the Porters. It was a fun, comfortable visit. I'm going to miss them if things ever work out in the housing department.
