Back to a Busy Day after a Delightful Week. 8 November 2016

Late last night I realized I had not gotten the sign-up sheets for the Young Elder Dinners from the sister who collects them.  What a blessing that she responded to my text and note and brought them to me this morning.  It was good to have the responsibility of passing on that information electronically taken care of.

One of my favorite guests has joined us on B1 as a Church Service Missionary.  His wife will serve in the Library in the Hosting Zone, while he will soak up as much training as he can to further his German research. We have two other Church Service Missionaries training now, for German and Scandinavian research.  The training room is getting crowded!

I was so grateful when one of the sisters in the Study Group showed up prepared to present training on the Poznan Project, an ever-increasing indexed online database of marriage performed between 1800 and 1899 in the Poznan region of what is now Poland. This is a fairly user-friendly site, and I was grateful to have another break from presenting.

Immediately following study group was the recognition meeting.  I was supposed to do some presenting for a trainer with another responsibility this particular morning--but she showed up after all, so that was a relief.  Then was a nice potluck luncheon--lots of yummy food.

Two hours in the training room was followed by playing the keyboard for afternoon prayer meeting [a surprise last-minute assignment], and then presenting an in-service on using the Snipping Tool.  That presentation led to a question later on from one of the other missionaries, that led to an hour-long "tutoring" session on using a tablet to take pictures of sources, putting the pictures into Memories in the Family Tree app, using the picture to create an attached source, and also using Tree Seek to create sources from any webpage.  I learned a some things from that experience, and will probably create additional in-service training lessons because of that.

I had decided this morning that I would go for a short time to the temple, to again be in the temple with my Sweetheart--although 1300 miles apart.

I am currently waiting for my laundry to finish--and I will be glad to have my late-start day tomorrow.  I may even sleep in!
