Late last night I received transcripts from two of the FairMormon Conference talks. I was able to proof one, which was so very well done that I sent it on to be published. The other needed a bit more work, and even some additional transcription, so I spent several hours this morning getting that in order. I actually finished it up this evening, and have sent it to another transcriber. I had many hours this morning due to my late start day, so I even got in a nap, which was very helpful.
At the Library I was supposed to work at the German/Slavic desk for the first two hours, but I got pulled away to help several different guests with German translation. I learned some new words for sicknesses, and I was also able to share with one of the very experienced missionaries a good online resource for German names, occupations, illnesses, etc.
The in service presentations went even better today, despite a few technical issues. I really like leading small groups in discussion. Apparently I talk loudly enough, as a friend thanked me that she could hear even in the back of the room.
In choir we learned new a technique--singing staccato with just one syllable through a whole piece. We also got two new pieces of music to learn, "Jehovah, Lord of Heaven and Earth" along with our first Christmas piece, "And the Glory of the Lord" from Handel's Messiah.
In my mailbox was a delightful treasure--a card from my Sweetheart. Then tonight he traveled to a better location for his cell phone so that we could talk, since last night we had some trouble with reception. That was definitely going several extra miles!
