After two hours in the Training room I had a very early 10 a.m. lunch. This was because of a mandatory meeting at 11 a.m. to learn about the new Guest Service Model. Technically I was given the option to skip the meeting, but I wanted to learn what changes my friends on the floor will be going through starting April 24. The changes are hard, especially those who have been at the Library for many years. But I can see the potential for a better outcome, so I hope all goes well for my friends.
As I was gathering my things this morning I could not find my flash drive. Had this occurred even a few weeks ago, I would have been much more upset. As it was, I just set about to find it, if possible, and figured if I did not find it, that would confirm that this is an excellent time to be finishing my mission. I asked one of the Capstone trainers to check for me in the computer lab we use, and I checked at the Library.
As I got to Capstone I was informed that no one had found the flashdrive. Then an older missionary asked if I had checked in my purse. Yes, I had checked there, and in the bag I brought yesterday and in the backpack I brought today. However, I decided to check in my purse one more time--and there it was in a pocket I do not use on a regular basis. It was very nice to still have it--especially for some Family Tree photos that have not made it into Memories yet.
Our training today was on Descendancy research, which I had thought I was doing. But I learned a lot more today about how it is usually implemented, and I was excited to find the wife of my grandmother's cousin! She actually lived to be counted in the 1940 census, so we may even have lived a little while at the same time! I was really happy to find her, and hope to be able to find more relatives in the way that descendancy research is expected to be done. Once we had found someone, we were free to leave for the day, so, even though I had to walk back to the apartment to change into the white shirt and black skirt choir outfit, I was able to go to Mission Conference and sing with the Elijah Choir.
I had some shopping to do, so I was glad our practice after Mission Conference only went for 45 minutes instead of the usual hour. I found one of the items I was hoping to get, but the rest will wait until tomorrow, when I will use my half P-day to go to the distribution center and do a few other errands.
I was glad to talk with my Sweetheart this morning, and look forward to talking with him tonight. I am blessed.
