We certainly are not part of the milineal generation. The previous post was supposed to have been published last week because that was almost the end of November and it didn't make show up in our blogs, so now you have two blogs to catch up with to see how things are going with the Walkers.
Things have slowed down on the British Services Floor and I think it has more to do with the time of the year rather than a lack of interest in Family History. Most of the guests in our zone know what the are doing and who they are looking for, or they go directly to the Staff for assistance. However, we do have some who need help and otherwise we keep ourselves busy doing our own research, or in training. We have made friends with one of the guests who is from New Zealand and we have been able to help him with his family tree on Ancestry.com or in correcting things in FamilySearch. He is going to be here for almost a year, so I am sure that we will get to help him many more times,
We have both been given extra assisgnments in our zone which we give new experieces and allow us to be of assistance to our zone leaders. Our zone leaders are so very dedicated to running the zone and put in so many extra hours to ensuring that the zone runs smoothly, I am glad we help them. It feels great to be needed and to feel like we are contributing to the zone. However, Lorene's first love is to be able to help the guests when they come to our floor. I am not quite there yet, but working on it. We will be helping with weekly devotionals, music and daily thems, some reports and reviewing new training modules.
On Friday night we took Lorene's brother Wayne out for his birthday and we had a nice visit with him. Wayne and our son Michael could almost be brothers. They are both unmarried, live alone and its take little to satisfy them. Saturday we went to a musical production of "A Christams Carol" at the Hale Centre Theater, and it is what the name implies, a theater in the round. We thoroughly enjoyed and had the opportunity to spend some time with many of our fellow Missionaries. We had a nice, although very short visit with our daughter and her family last night. They were here for a couple of family activities for LaVerl's family. We went over to Temple Square to look at the Christmas lights and then came back to our apartment for hot chocolate to ward ourselves up. It was nice to spend some time with them.
We continue to have time to worry about all of our children the problems that have to face in their lives. Some problems and issues and concerns are greater than others and some times they make good decisions and some times they don't. However, agency gives them the right to make their own decisions and we continue to hope that when they make the now so good choices that they will learn a better way and not to repeat them.
