It is always a pleasure to listen to President Dieter F. Uchtdorf speak at conference. Tonight he told us at the General Women's Session of how he met his beloved Harriet. He prefaced that story early by saying he fell in love with her at first sight! If you did not get to listen yet to the session you are in for a treat when you do!
Saturday morning is an early one for me, as I am scheduled to give the in service at morning prayer meeting. Since this was the third presentation of the material [I did Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons previously] I was very comfortable and enjoyed sharing the tips on deleting relationships. I do not know how I will do when I have to come up with Power Points myself, but I do enjoy presenting to a small group--the ham in me comes out big time!
I got to help several people during the two hours that I was scheduled as Helper--the morning started out slow, but then was consistently busy. The third hour I was Floor Manager, and I actually worked through the first 15 minutes of my lunch time, because the scheduled person was helping two French guests. That was not a big problem because I had decided to bring my lunch and work through on my research time so that I could leave an hour early [I actually decided to leave an extra 15 minutes earlier than that to make up my missed lunch time]. I had decided to attend the Conference Session at the stake center where the stake Relief Society was providing supper at 4:30. I did not make it there until nearly 5, but I had plenty of time to enjoy the nice food. One of the Japanese sisters saved a place for me, which was really nice of her.
During my research time I decided to work in the Training room, so I would be able to spread out the papers and the big Eppingen Ortsippenbuch, with the added advantage of being more or less out of sight. Sometimes, especially if a missionary is not dressed in casual clothes, people do not realize one is their for one's own research. I worked quite steadily and got a lot of documents attached. I ran across one record which had a weird name attached, so I sent a message through FamilySearch and actually got a reply! I think we will be able to fix this without too much difficulty. However, it will take many more research hours to get all the information on my lines into FamilySearch from the book.
Once I got home after the Conference Session I did some things to prepare for feeding two Young Elders tomorrow. My Cuban sister and my Ukrainian sister will join me in host them.
