OK It has been a very long time since I posted and a lot has happened.

Callings: We were released from the Nursery especially since it would wear me out. I would come home and take a two hour nap. So I became one of the 11 year old boy teachers. Great calling but a month into it I got released as they wanted the 11 year old scout leader to take this class too. Later yet I got called as the Ward Employment Specialist. The current one is a BYU professor who is going on a year sabbatical to do a dig in a middle eastern country. Wow.

So as the Employment Specialist I needed some training so I went to the Career workshop that runs two days. The workshop is to train you on how to do an interview with a “Me in 30 seconds” statement that describe your self and several power statements that answer the interviewer’s questions with information on how you would solve or have solved those problems in the past. Because I was not prepping for an interview I made up a statement about genealogy. The guy seated next to me asked me where I was from (and me with my Yankee accent). I replied born in New Hampshire and raised in Connecticut. Where’s your family from? NE Mass and SE NH. He then told me that he had some CDs to show me.

When I came back from lunch there was an 8 pack box of the digitized versions of the “Vital Records of ___________ Massachusetts to 1849” and the “Genealogy of the Mayflower descendants” ! WOW! WOW! He said that he previously had published these and sold the Mayflower disk for $160 and the 8 pack for $150. They are great! All this because I was called as the Ward Employment Specialist. Marilyn is using them extensively and has added several hundred names. Now tell me that there are not people helping from the other side of the veil! Rightttt!

Well Rachel is helping me fix the blog so I will do more later.
