         The temple was full of people today with loads of baptisms and people bringing names of family members to do work for.  It was exhausting but as always felt good at the end of the day to know that so much temple work had been done. 

A sweet young woman from our stake, the Loarque Stake, showed Glade her Family Search papers and told him about the work in family history she has been doing for the past seven years.  She is twenty-nine now and has a little baby so her work has slowed a little; but she used to spend three hours a day on family history.  She started doing this work when she was single and has found over 3,000 names that she has submitted for temple work.  In the beginning she did the baptisms herself and then left the names at the temple for others to help with. 

I am so excited to learn how to use the new family history programs, but fear that once I get started, everything else will fade into the background.  Getting hooked will be way easy for me and right now I should still study Spanish although who knows how I will ever use it.  It is something fun to look forward to.
