Seven months to the day since our engagement, my Sweetheart confirmed that we can be married for time in the St. Louis Temple. That will happen six months from tomorrow! Happy, happy news!
I got to the Library long enough before prayer meeting to print off my letter to the Mission President and his wife about my experiences with reading The Book of Mormon. The letter is now enveloped and in my choir folder so I should not forget it on Monday.
I filled in at the keyboard for prayer meeting, but another trainer did the in-service and her husband conducted the meeting, so no repeat of yesterday.
I spent an hour at the Greeter desk, and almost immediately thereafter I spent the better part of an hour deciphering several German/Latin records. I needed help with the Latin, but the German was fairly easy. After one more hour at the German/Slavic counter I got to start my research time. Again I spent the 4 hours in Eppingen records. There is a lot to clean up, and I have access now to the microfilmed original records, which I used today to separate some records which had been erroneously combined. I hope that in the 5 months that I will continue at the Library, I will be able to get through all of my lines from Eppingen. Right now it seems a bit daunting!
I took just a brief lunch so that I could leave early and get to tithing settlement on time. After my brief time with the branch president I was waiting to talk with his wife who serves as the Relief Society president. The sister who is in charge of the Thanksgiving dinner for the branch came in, and I found out where to pick up a turkey which I will roast on Thanksgiving morning.
Of course, I had to call my daughter to get the recipe she uses to roast a turkey. We got to talk for quite a while after I picked up the turkey.
Finding room in the refrigerator to thaw the turkey out was a challenge, but I managed to get it in, by taking some other things out. That led to cutting up the last half of a watermelon, and then preparing to pickle the rind. I now have about 2 quarts of rind turning into sweet pickles in my frig.
I so much appreciated getting to rejoice tonight with my Sweetheart as we see the hand of the Lord working in our behalf.
