Our week in review #3

Saturday 01 October
For the past couple of years we have opted to watch General Conference from home. It always brings a lovely spirit into our home during that time. Today our internet and cable access went out close to the end of the first session so we did a mix of home and chapel. John had to work so he listened from there.
I highly recommend watching the talks on-line at http//lds.org
President Monson announced that the Provo Tabernacle will be saved and re-built as a temple, which caused quite a joyful noise in the Conference Center :) It is one of the oldest buildings in Provo and had been badly burned (almost to a shell) earlier this year.

Sunday 02 October
With cable and internet back in operation we were able to watch both sessions from home. Wonderful. As always lots of excellent talks. I am looking forward to listening to them again over the next few weeks while I do indexing.
Kristina sang her solo this evening at the Hillwood Presbyterian Church "Fall Follies" concert. It went well. The whole concert was very enjoyable.

Monday 03 October
Volleyball was fun today and we had a very good attendance.
Kristina had her semi-annual visit to see her neurologist. She has to go get an ultrasound done to make sure some of the issues she's been having over the past few months are not being caused by her new medication.
Nikolas picked out the stories from the New Era for FHE this evening. He chose to read the first page of "Speaking In Sacrament Meeting?" then switched to "Chain Reaction" about a boy who found himself about to watch a movie he did not like at a birthday party. After weighing his options he chose to leave the room. After a short while others who had felt the same way but were scared to be the first to get up, joined him. The movie was abandoned and games played instead. We had a good discussion about the importance of making wise choices.
Juliet sent us photographs of her missionary district with fun info about each of the missionaries. Some of them will be leaving soon.

Tuesday 04 October
I am doing double duty at the Franklin FHC Center this week. I covered for one of the other ladies today and will work my regular shift on Thursday. I found some information about one of the "married in" lines of my family. Our fabulous volunteer, Merry Anne P. (who lives on the street behind us) is going to send me information about US research so I can get better in that area.

Wednesday 05 October
We were supposed to go Visiting Teaching today but Laura P. had an issue with her shower so I rearranged the appointments and went over to help her fix it. It took a while but we got it done with the assistance of some WD40 and some new parts :)

Thursday 06 October
One of the ladies from The Bellevue Family History Group came into the Franklin FHC today. I am helping her research land records in Kansas. We had tried before with no success but I'm hoping new information has become available.

Friday 07 October
Our neighbors, the Lee's, whose house backs up to our driveway (and their sub-division) are having a large yard sale tomorrow. We have been pulling things from round the house to donate to them. They are raising money for Breast Cancer Research.
The Bellevue Genealogy Group was treated to a very interesting and amusing presentation by the director from Historic Rock Castle. After that there was a meeting about Cemetery Research (it's somewhat like a census that is taken every 10 years or so).
We had the Wardles come for dinner this evening and did a potato bar. Most of the "floor junk" from our family room is now in the spare room and hopefully we can now get it all put away properly.
