Sometimes I get an idea which seems pretty good at first, and then gets a little hard to carry out. That seems to be the case with my decision to try to give a CD of some of my scripture melodies to each of the missionaries in my zone. I was able to get sufficient discs during my lunch hour today, and the people who have already gotten them seem really pleased. However, I forgot that for this to work, my computer needs to be willing to burn at least 20 more CDs.
Yesterday I had no glitches with burning the 39 discs that I had. Today I already have two coasters [discs that the program did not successfully burn] after just 27. As it is, I will not try to do any more tonight. Maybe with a rest the computer will be able to complete the others.
On a brighter note, I talked twice with my Sweetheart today. He was able to talk with his Dad and his sister. His sister is organizing a mini-family reunion for when we travel to South Dakota for me to meet his family. He also got word at his work today that the time for our trip to the East Coast to visit my family in July was approved. This is all very good news.
I was able to help one guest today who had worked previously with staff members. She said that the gazetteer I showed her helped her visualize what records needed to be looked at. I am glad that as I end the mission I have had some success. I hope to use those tools to help others back home with their family history work also.
