Indexing!

So on Sunday I got a calling, surprise!  It was to me anyway.  I'm an indexer!  So basically in order to magnify my calling, I get to sit in the library and index for a few hours a week.  That's what I've been doing for the past couple of hours.  It's so great!  I get to look at really old documents and decipher crazy handwriting (really, why do people insist on using cursive?) and I also get to learn some really cool stuff.
I started off with some marriage licences from Canada.  I noticed that in a lot of the couples, the girl was actually a few years older than the guy.  I'm not sure if that is normal there, but I just found it really interesting because it's usually the other way around here.  Though I did see one where the groom was 32 and the bride was 18!  Ridiculous!  Well after that I got to do some WW1 draft registration cards.  

It's actually really peaceful.  I'm in the religion and family history section of the library, which is really cool because quite a few missionaries work here or come here for their studies.  I just that that is really cool and it got me thinking about the places I might serve my mission.  Sure, I'll probably serve a 'normal' mission, but I could be called to Temple Square, or Nauvoo, or one of the other major church history site.  That could be really amazing.  Sure, there wouldn't be the same sort of dynamic, but at the same time, I would be around all the amazing places where revelation occurred.  I would be able to show investigators the physical evidence of the Lord's work on the earth, how cool would that be?

Still, no matter where I go is where I need to be.  Thank goodness for those with the authority to send missionaries where the Spirit directs!

Well I have to go, been busier, but I've also been less busy.

Ta!
