Untangling the Ritters. 11 November 2016

This morning I got started untangling the records of the Ritter family from Eppingen, Baden, Germany. It was interesting, but frustrating to see a person with a birth date in the 1660s, christening in the 1680s, death in the late 1660s and burial in the United States in the 1720s!  What was really weird was that all this information was attached by the same person over the course of a year!  I figured out how to clean up that particular mess, but some of his relatives are in just about as bad shape as he was!  I hope I can get this all cleared up tomorrow during my 4-hour research block.

I worked on an in-service not related to the new training modules today that I was asked to present Monday at our Trainers Meeting.  I also got to check and clear some Level 3 learning for one sister and the completion of Level 1 for one of our newer missionaries.  Our very newest missionaries are progressing nicely with their new training.

I continue to spend a lot of time in the Training room. This week I was scheduled for 11 hours and next week for 13.  I was told today I had a lot of patience--and I guess that must be true in some regards.  Not in everything, of course--May 20 still seems way too far away!

I heard today that we are due for some snow on Thursday of next week--I wonder what that will be like out here--a new experience, I expect.

I had an adventure taking the meal to the couple in the neighboring apartment building, as I had transposed the apartment number when I wrote it down!  It took the help of several people from the branch to figure out who was to get the food, but I did get it safely delivered.

I already got to talk with my Sweetheart this evening, and I fell asleep while writing this post, so I guess it is time to sign off.
