Today I was released from my primary calling. No longer can I spy on my kids to see how they are doing. No longer do I have a job that I like to do and know how to do it well. No longer am I serving with good friends. Now I am thrown out into the pool where I can receive any call. The fear of the unknown is what scares me the most. There are so many calls that I know I could be good at, but as everyone knows these are not the calls that you receive. Instead I will be placed someplace that will help me grow. Hopefully it is just not the scouts.

Indexing
August 26, 2007
A couple of weeks ago I was reading this article from the Ensign and really felt inspired to try my hand at it. Last Sunday I sat down and got to work. I first read all the tutorials. I really felt like Lesson 3 & 4 were the most helpful. Lesson 3 talks about the program you will be using and Lesson 4 talks about how to index. Reading through all of these tutorials took about 45 minutes and then I downloaded my first batch. It only took me about 30 minutes to complete. I waited until later in the week and then went back and checked my work. After I was sure that everything was done to the best of my abilities I submitted my work. The total time for the whole batch was about 45 minutes. I really liked doing it because I felt like I was doing a little bit of genealogy. I have always tried to do some genealogy, but I have found of late I really don't have the time to sit down and really focus on doing my family history. With this program, however, I feel like I am doing my part. Hopefully as I get older I will be able to get back into doing our Family History, but until that time Indexing seems to be a great way to continue the work.

President James E. Faust

James E. Faust, Second Counselor in First Presidency passed away this morning. I will personally remember him for his strong testimony in Jesus Christ and the beloved example he has been to all of us throughout the years. He will be greatly missed.
