Ha! Well, I'm learning how to do it, a bit at a time! Lisa and my dad tried to get me signed up for the new Family Search program. The only problem was that since my temple district is not 'live' with it yet, I CAN'T sign up. When I put my member number and confirmation date in, it knew exactly where I lived and told me I couldn't sign up yet. Bummer. So Lisa went in to my family records under her name as a 'helper' and boy was I surprised.
Not much done. This new program is so thorough and complete that it is eliminating all the duplications. I learned that where a lot of previous family members have said they have the geneology 'done' in a lot of cases means they have done the research but not the actual temple work. On Duff's side there are a lot of things ready to be done, they just need someone to physically go and do them.
It is VERY exciting and now I understand the enthusiasm and passion that Lisa and my dad have for redeeming the dead! It is a REAL physical feeling when you go into this site and see YOUR family on those pages. I am going to call NBeach Temple and see if they might know when we will go 'live'.

I sent Natalie and Robert and Christine and Darla home this afternoon. I will stay until Sunday night and then fly home. I haven't had a minute to visit with my parents. They got home around 8pm.
Josh's finals finished up today. He is soooo glad to be done. I will be able to spend some time with he and Meredith the next couple of days too.
We had some delish paninis and chicken noodle soup for dinner tonight at Lisa's. No one felt like cooking so we just cleaned out the refrigerator and used leftovers to make the sandwiches. Lisa steamed some asparagus and we put those on the sandwiches with the other leftover stuff. Gosh it was good!
Today is Jessica's Bday. She is Greg's daughter. I haven't seen her in about 14 years. But I think of her often and wish her a wonderful life and happy times. Maybe some day we can celebrate her birthday together in the future! Happy Birthday, Jess!
