We are having a great week!  We spent Monday at the Evergreen/Conecuh County Public Library working with the director of the research room there.  She has received permission from the “board” for us to volunteer there!  Elder Price recovered her Family Search username and password for her & “wowed” her with some of the capabilities of the church site. We met the director of the library & have a “take you & your twin brother out to dinner appointment” with a 70 year old employee there.  He loaned me a book to read, & we have one to share with him:)


Tues we went to Daphne to meet with the Zone.  Elders Dixon & Moss did a terrific job training the zone!  We met many of the Elders, plus the Sr couples, Taggert, & Burgess.  Sis Burgess is anxious to learn more about using the Family Search site with some of their contacts in Pascagoula, MS so we will travel there when she is ready for us. She has spent time with the online training - but doesn’t understand well enough to help others.


Wed we spent at the Monroeville Museum & were even able to help 4 new people begin their Family History.  (3 visiting from out of state, but we will hook them up with help in those areas)  As we were leaving the museum the Sites Director told us how much they appreciate our being there to help them - he said it is very comfortable to have us there.  He invited us to a symphony at the Southern AL Community College in Monroeville.  He’s going with some friends & wants to meet up with us there:)  

Last evening we had a great appt with the Monroe Branch President, Pres. Fralick. He gave us a key to the building so we can invite people to use the family history room there. He also gave us permission to contact his sister, the only branch Family History Consultant. She stays home on Sundays to care for her bedridden brother, so we have not met her.  We want her to feel that we are working with her not taking over her calling, so we will visit her at her home this week. We offered to do whatever Pres Fralick would like us to do to strengthen the branch.
