The later morning start gave me time to have a brief birthday phone call with a dear friend from my home ward, and a nice phone call also with my Sweetheart. I got to the Library about 15 minutes early as I wanted to set up the room for study group--but the room was being used for the German handwriting class. Instead I got to snack on some fresh grapes that someone had brought in while I was waiting.
Study group went very well, I think. We studied map guides to German records and then completed a German indexing entry. Even the elder who is just starting out to learn the script was able to decipher a couple of words. It is so nice to have some successes along the way.
I helped out several people today with deciphering German records. In one case the guest happened to stop turning the microfilm reader handle, and there was the record we were looking for. One of the missionaries had a record to check out--and the page it was on was quite legible, while surrounding pages were too dark. Miracles here may be little ones, but they are real.
At lunchtime I walked to my apartment and sauted a yellow squash [brought right from their garden by one of the local missionary couples]. Yummy!
I went to the temple with family file names tonight. I enjoyed visiting a little with one of the sisters I was in the MTC with. She is doing quite well after having some serious health concerns. I had thought my changed schedule would allow me to participate in our MTC group's once a month social night, but I am still doing the late Wednesday night. It will be nice to have my P day on Thursday as that gives me a nice break in the week.
My Cuban sister had bought a watermelon and she called to let me know she wanted to give half of it to me. I stopped by and we had a nice chat. I was glad to get the watermelon, and enjoyed a slice already!
Another phone visit and a prayer with my Sweetheart was a lovely way to end the day.
