Enjoyable Study Group Meeting. 11 October 2016

I got to talk with my Sweetheart this morning, for which I was grateful as tonight will be a very short conversation.  We had both slept longer than expected--I think having put up the swap meet drapes really is going to make a difference for me.  They block out a lot of the light from the streetlight and the yard light, so when I awoke about 4:30 I did not have much trouble going back to sleep. What a blessing!

I got to be the learner this morning during the Study Group meeting.  One of the sisters is already working on certifying in our new Level 3 program.  She needs to present two topics in our study group, and today she presented on GenTeam.at, a genealogical website specific to Austria, the Czech Republic, and Slovenia.  I have tried using this site before without much success, so I was glad to learn more about it.  Next week none of the study groups will meet because a big conference will take all the rooms that the groups meet in.

I helped a few people with German script translation, including one of the missionaries who was working on his own line.  Since he also heads a German/Slavic study group I was surprised that I could figure out the words that he was struggling with--and then I translated them with the help of Google translate.  You might be surprised at how often we use various aspects of Google in our work at the Library.  It really is quite a handy tool.

At lunch time I went to the market. I will go again, perhaps, on Thursday, since the watermelon I intended to get seemed to have disappeared!  I am not sure what happened to it, but I did not get charged for it and it was not in my bags!  A mystery.

After my shift I talked with my daughter.  She had looked unsuccessfully for a box of a particular type of rice--and I impressed both of us when I was able to tell her exactly where it was!  There was another item that I was able to suggest where she might find it--and while it was not exactly where I thought it was, it was not very far away.

I remembered to get some cash out to take to get my flu shot tomorrow. Prevention is definitely a wise thing.  I do usually get a flu shot, and since i am with so many people here on the mission, it makes sense to get it this year, too.
