Happy Valentine's Day! Mine started out sweetly with a call from my Sweetheart. It is truly a joy for us to get to talk even briefly in the morning, as well as in the evening. He also texted me during the day--I am so blessed! We will talk again this evening, and pray, after his shift at the temple, and before his shift at work.
I had the opportunity to give the spiritual thought in prayer meeting this morning. The topic was Friendship and Love:) I thought this was a nice day to be assigned that topic. I did briefly mention my Sweetheart, but I sang the first of the Scipture Melodies I composed back in 1997: Moroni 7:45 Charity. If anyone is interested 99 of 100 Scripture Mastery passages set to music are available on my You Tube channel--search "Ellen Fehr".
That first melody was totally a gift, as I was thinking about how I could no longer memorize scripture passages. Over the next few years I was able to do the 100 passages, plus about a quarter of the Psalms, and some other verses, too, but most of what I have posted are the 100. I hoped they would help others also in memorizing scriptures, and perhaps they have.
The schedule at the Library did not get completely fixed until the afternoon, so there were some challenges. However, the whole study group was together for the first time since before Christmas. I was glad that I had something prepared to share--a Czech Republic archive how-to guide. We also explored additional ways to get split screens, and new windows on the computer.
I was quite relieved when a sister who had left her flashdrive in one of the computers last week found it in her purse. I had thought that I had put it somewhere myself, and yesterday we could not find it--it was in a different purse!
I worked on making some improvements to this week's in-service lesson, and the one for next week. I also got to make some corrections in my Eppingen lines--not as much as I had hoped to do, but any is better than none.
This afternoon was Mission Conference. Sister Nelson, President Russell M. Nelson's wife, was the speaker. She especially highlighted a talk by Jeffery R. Holland that was included in our readings this month, where Elder Holland talks about how the apostles went fishing after the Resurrection of the Savior--and were reminded that the work was just beginning, it was not over. Especially where family history and temple work is concerned, that is definitely true! I am so glad that my Sweetheart and I are equally yoked in this regard. We prefer doing family history and temple work to just about any other way to spend time together.
After the conference I stopped in at the temple for a while. Then I came back to the apartment for supper and more work on the Young Elder Dinners. I am trying to set up a grid that will help the person who is taking over when I leave in 10 weeks!
I hope all of you had a nice Valentine's Day!
