Thanks to one of the assistant Zone leaders coming a bit early to take over as Floor Manager, I was able to get to the Swap meet before everything was put away. I did find some nice clothes--I am wearing a sweatshirt right now. My really happy find was a very sturdy old time typing table with sides that come up on both sides. It will be a nice launching pad for things to take to the Library [instead of the table where I eat] but I think it will make feeding the Young Elders a little less crowded. I also got a nice file and a magazine holder which is currently holding a notebook with research and a book on learning German--with plenty of room to add research items like the quarter sheets of paper I make notes on at the Library.
This afternoon was my research time, and in addition to helping one of the new missionaries with some paperwork during the first hour, I also have added 15 or 20 new names to my Family Tree, using the Eppingen Ortssippenbuch. Every time I think maybe I am getting finished with that, another family comes to the fore! I was able to verify that in the indexed records one of the children was recorded incorrectly--the film was ridiculously difficult to read, so I am not surprised. I am just happy to be here where I can go look at the actual record to make a decision about it.
My Sweetheart sent me a You-Tube video of Josh Groban singing "O Holy Night", one of my favorite Christmas songs. In addition, a carol that Elijah Choir is doing for the Christmas devotional has been running through my head a good bit of the day. Beautiful music is one of the delights of the season.
