I successfully edited my Grampa Grapatin's confirmation certificate in irfanview, and attached and titled it appropriately! I like success, even though I had some false starts. I will be working on this project for quite a long time to come--it will keep me out of trouble!
Our training today was again on the Research Process. I am slowly becoming aware of the usefulness of a Research Log, now that sometimes I cannot remember what I did five minutes ago, much less five years ago or more.
We unexpectedly had a long lunch break--nearly 90 minutes. I took advantage of this to walk back to my apartment and get a load of laundry washed. I had been putting that off, and did not know when I would get to it, so I am very grateful to have had the opportunity. I also learned that I really could accomplish this task in the typical 60 minute lunch time--I just might need to run, not walk, back to the Library.
When I got back to the apartment in the afternoon, I did not have time to make it to the temple for the 4 pm session, so I took a quick nap. It was a good thing, since my Cuban sister called me. She is really enjoying doing indexing. I am so glad for her, because the rest of the training still unnerves her. It was very good to hear from her. We might get together on Monday, which is a holiday for us missionaries as well as paid staff.
Some wonderful news from my sweetheart. The cataract surgery he had yesterday was successful! I am very grateful and happy about this. My own cataract surgery back in 1995 was such a blessing, making it possible for me to practically do without glasses. I sometimes need them for driving when it is dark and messy out. What modern miracles we enjoy!
Today I played the keyboard for our devotional. I will do that for the rest of this week, and perhaps longer than that. I am grateful to be able to share that skill.
[Yesterday I figured out how to spell-check in the blog. That is really good, although I am not quite sure why the program has a problem with the word "learned". Go figure!]
I am really looking forward to learning (and using!) all of these neat and wonderful tools that you are learning out there! Our modern day marvels are truly miracles! By small means great things can be accomplished!
ReplyDeleteYes, I am sure you will be as excited as I am to learn to use these miraculous tools--and I look forward to sharing:)
