This evening my Sweetheart and I have spent some time looking at images to include in the announcements for our wedding. First we determined which of the engagement images we thought was best, which was easy. Then we looked at many images of the St. Louis Temple, as that is where our journey together, miracles, and tender mercies began and will continue. Thanks to the marvelous electronic devices, we can collaborate on all of this even though many miles separate us.
My cell phone was not very cooperative this morning as we talked for a while before I had to leave the apartment, but when I started for the Library the call kept dropping. Still, it was very good to have a few minutes to talk.
I had not known that my morning would be taken up with checking one missionary's Level 2 work, and finding all sorts of things that need correction either in the presentation or in the answers in the worksheets. In fact, I think her concerns have also identified places in which parts of our Level 2 training is duplicating the Basic Training. I think we will be making a good many changes.
Study group got bumped to our original little conference room. We made the decision to go on to other countries, having spent many months on German resources. Today we found out how to use some of the resources in Austria. Next week we will continue with that and then move on to the Czech Republic. I have only 12 weeks left to lead the study group. The time is truly moving quickly now.
During lunch I went down to B2 to escalation again and got two names released from temple file. I also checked to make sure I could make some corrections in a family where two brothers had the same name, but the second brother's record had his older brother's birth date attached, instead of his own.
There was a meeting after lunch for the certifiers. Two of the staff members demonstrated a reference interview, and acknowledged that this is more of an art than a science. Even the professionals do not really have a standard procedure. Still, the training is valuable. There is just a whole lot to learn.
Today was Mission Conference, and we had choir practice before the meeting. The choir director seemed quite pleased with how we sang his favorite hymn, "Behold the Wounds in Jesus' Hands". The speakers were our branch president and his wife. He is also the 1st counselor in the mission presidency.
Once I returned to the apartment I spoke a little while with my daughter, and then my Sweetheart and I mostly worked on announcement things. We will talk again and pray together in a little while. It will be a nice close to a rather long day.
