I woke up early again, so I did have a little trouble staying awake at times today, but I got to choir practice in plenty of time! We sang a version of "Love One Another" for which we got a lot of positive feedback. I was asked to say the closing prayer for Mission Devotional. I got to talk with my Sweetheart on the way to the Library.
I had a couple of floor assignments today, and also got to help a couple of guests from Belgium. I showed them the things on FamilySearch first, and then the Belgium National Archives--and they indicated they've already searched that, they just wanted to know what we had!
I was called on by a lot of the newer missionaries to help with various problems, and lessons. One of the other Trainers could not figure out how to get some worksheets to open. I knew we had to download them first to get them to go to fill and sign--but I could not remmeber how at first, and then I remembered the procedure. As I told them--I mostly just muddle through until I get where I need to be. Then one of them said--"Yes, but you seem to be successful in muddling through!" I think maybe that is why I am a Trainer. I am just enough ahead of the new missionaries that I can figure out what they need--but I am not so far ahead that things come automatically and that I have forgotten what it was like to know almost nothing!
Sometimes now in the Trainers meeting I feel like I don't belong, as things are discussed that will not really be part of my life down the road. I will miss having access to some of the training resources, and there are fellow missionaries I will remember with fondness.
My Sweetheart and I just finished a Skype conversation--what a blessing that is! In one month I should be back in Missouri!!!
