By Elder Daniel:10-23-10 two weeks have passed. We got in to see the Mission President 10 days ago. Been in training on the computers, teaching room electronics, cash register.
Got a Family History Library (FHL) name tag. We are special.
Set up our apartment. $700 so far. Small, but usable. Will go home to a mansion in 18 months.
Using the I-pod Touch that our children gave us the night we were set apart. Getting better at using it. Set up i-Tunes on home computer. Ooops, need to set it up on the laptop we brought. All sorts of difficulty getting an audio book loaded. Had Mark try it. He did same thing that I did, but of course, his attempt loaded it. Go figure!
Got the internet hooked up wirelessly to Sister Daniel's laptop but not mine. Using CAT5 cable for mine. Cable works fine. I have no idea if anyone else is surfing off our wireless router/modem.
Have heard several inspiring, uplifting stories. Some first person, some 5th person. All fun.
Started wearing my own bought white shirts. The 17 1/2 inch neck on mine are looser than the 17 1/2 inch neck on Earl Carter's shirts that he gave me, from his mission.
Sister D has baked cookies for us twice now. Weight gain is 0 for both of us. Weight loss is ... 0 for both of us.
Went to a piano concert last night, Friday. WoW! At the Visitor Center's meeting hall. We work in the basement of the Center. All new basement and equipment. Have had 7 Family History class lessons already. We are trainable, YES!
Phyllis is on the internet somewhere from service today where we were sent to support a Family History booth at the Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church in Los Angeles.
Sister Daniel will put her own memories on the blog later.
Bye for now... Elder Daniel
10-27-10 Well, time is going by really fast. We are really having a good time going to the library and helping others, working on our own lines, and just mingling with the other workers. We still don't know a lot about researching, but at least we feel confident on the computer. We are learning about research as we go, with classes, and while we are working on our own lines. There is someone here who is an expert in New Family Search and she is really helping everyone. It is intimidating when people come in and ask us questions when they know more than we do, but there are times that we can really help. Today we got to learn how to scan film to print or save to a flash drive and we, meaning Warren and I, actually helped two people in that area.
We went to stake conference last Sunday and the chapel was unlike the stake centers I am used to. It looked like a cathedral including a glass window of Christ. It was very beautiful. Warren talked about the concert we went to, well, she played the organ with the stake choir and someone else played the piano who was also gifted on the piano and the rafters just exploded
