Friday was a busy day for Dad at the Family History Centre. There have been a number of people come in to the FHC as a result of that article in the paper with Dad's picture. It's great that that one article has done so much good and is helping more people to search for their ancestors. I stayed home Friday to work on my Primary stuff. I am looking for activities to do with the 8 - 11 year olds - we are going to be holding activities twice a month for this group of children in Primary. Anyway, I was looking on the net for an idea which I had seen previously and I wanted to find it again. I searched for ages - somewhere along the line, I had this impression that I should look in the file I already had with info I had printed out. But, silly me, I discounted the impression and kept spending time on the net. After more time internet surfing, I decided to heed the impression and, sure enough, there was the info I needed right where I had the impression it would be. Sometimes, I wonder if Heavenly Father hits his head with his hand when it comes to me not listening. :-)
Dad spent most of Saturday at a meeting for the Census area supervisors. The meeting was held by the District Manager who is in charge of training the area supervisors. The area supervisors were given information about what they are going to be doing in the next few months. Dad now has to check out the buildings/houses in his area to make sure that the information he has been given is correct. He will also have to interview a couple of dozen people who have applied to be census collectors and choose eight of them to work in his area. He will be very busy in the next couple of weeks. I spent Saturday looking for more information to use for the Activity Days in Primary. I was able to get every meeting planned until the end of the year when school holidays start and now I just have to do the nitty gritty of the planning. It feels good to have so much planning done as I still have a month to get the specifics down. I spoke to the Bishop today about someone in the ward to lead Activity Days and he said he would speak with her this week and get back to me next week. It looks like I will also be losing my pianist in Primary. As it turns out, I have four musical people in Primary (one music leader, one pianist and two teachers) and Relief Society has none. I told the Bishop that I could ask one of my teachers to play the organ as well as teach.
Today was a lovely, but very busy day at church. It started off with our Ward Missionary Meeting, then we had a very nice Fast and Testimony meeting (as full on as always - I think that I am going to have to get up fast next month if I want to bear my testimony in this ward :-) Then, Primary went smoothly - well, for the most part - two of our children who were supposed to be part of our meeting (scripture reading and closing prayer) were not here today, but fortunately we were able to find others to do those. After church, we had Ward Council, and as Primary President, I had to attend. Dad, as High Priest group leader, also had to go. Basically, what they do there is have each leader of each auxiliary report what's happening in each auxiliary and plan activities so that no dates overlap. It took about 45 minutes, so that wasn't too bad.
Right after the meeting, Dad and I drove to the HB hospital to see our friend, Judy. We knew that the young men had gone earlier in the day to visit with her and when we got there, our Relief Society and her granddaughter were visiting with Judy. They left right away and after a few minutes visiting with Judy, we could tell that she was too tired to visit with us. We asked her if she wanted to sleep and she said 'yes', so we told her we would come back this week to see her. We spent the rest of the day resting up and tomorrow hope to spend some time walking along the beach since we haven't been there much over the holidays.
