Family History Mission week 21

Hi everyone;

Sorry to be a day late but just didn't feel like being on the computer yesterday.  It has been a hectic week but that is getting to be the usual thing in the Library.  This week we had the Choral directors convention in town with many groups performing around Temple Square.

Sharon and I had the opportunity to go down to Orem and visit with Earl Palmer.  It was good to see him and that he is doing well. We also got to have a short visit with Sister Bikhazi, she sings in the Tabernacle Choir and had some extra tickets for the Saturday evening performance.  We attended the performance with Chrissy and Nick, it was great.  Sister Bikhazi served with us in Cape Verde.

We ran into some missionaries who have been following us around the mission field. They serve after us in Brazil and then went to Cape Verde a few years after we left.  He was there when they created a stake on Fogo; Sharon and I wonder where the leaders came from?  Any way it was nice to touch bases with them.

We had a little scare the middle of the week;  President Workman called us to his office, and of course we wondered oh no what are we going to be asked to do now. We worried all night and had great relief when he asked us to help inspect the Elders apartments, WE CAN DO THAT!

As far as genealogy is concerned; I made a little head way on some lines, finding lots of sources.  But I did find an infant, who was not in the family records.  By searching the cemetery records of other members of the family I came across this infant daughter who only lived a few days.  Those are special moments, for now she can be sealed to her parents!

We continue to pray for those who are struggling with loss of loved ones and those who are suffering with illness. Please know we love our Ward family and friends.

Have a great week!

So glad you are both doing well. The Lord is an amazing multi-tanker so I am sure you are serving there to fulfill many purposes. Sorry we did not get to see you while we were in Salt Lake, but it was a very busy and stressful time! In DC now and waiting for treatment to be approved. Stay well. Love you guys!!
