No Hours in the Training Room! 6 February 2017

Today I was not scheduled at all for the Training room.  Last month's missionaries are all scheduled on the floor for at least part of this week, as they are moving through training at a good pace. However, tomorrow we will have two new missionaries with us--and I am scheduled for two hours in the Training room.

I had not had the German/Slavic counter on my schedule for several weeks, but today I was scheduled for three hours.  The two morning hours there were two staff consultants available, and I was not on the list at all at the desk, so I was glad to spend most of that time helping one of the newer missionaries with some German translation of original documents, and deciphering an Ortsfamilienbuch she had just learned about.

I did spend an hour in the afternoon and helped one guest twice with decipering a name--which was not the name she was looking for.

I worked through lunch on my Eppingen lines, and then had an hour as Pager, which allowed me to work on that a bit more.

At the Trainers meeting I got some positive feedback on a PowerPoint I had prepared on Telephone Answering Policy.  I have been assigned to teach my replacement how to do the PowerPoints--but our leader has to come up with some topics, because I have finished with the topics that had been mentioned.

I had a Skill Development hour, which I actually used on Level 3 work, learning more about how to use some Czech archives. I will present that tomorrow in Study Group most likely.

Tonight I will get to see my Sweetheart through the wonders of Skype.  We talked a bit this morning as I went from Mission Devotional to the Library (I took the long way around).
