Working Overtime...The Pay is Great!

We had a 12 hour plus, longer than expected day at the temple.  The baptistry was busy off and on all day long.  We were all dressed and ready to go back to the apartment at 5 pm, but they said they had a big group coming in at 6:30 pm and needed our help.  
So with the little extra time, we walked to the ward house next door and visited the FHC center again. 
I took some pictures along the way. We are trying to get a feel for the research process down here.  It seems that it has to be done the old fashioned way of reading microfilm after microfilm until you find your ancestor.  They say that film ordering is difficult too.  You can only use what is already available in the area. Salt Lake is not duplicating any more films.  They are trying to encourage everyone to index the records instead.  I agree with that except that most people here do not have computers in their homes so it makes indexing more of a challenge.  After our quick search of some microfilms for our friends Rita and Miguel, we walked back to the temple and stayed until 8:30pm.  


 

We caught a bus and came back to delicious smelling dinner simmering in a small crock pot.  Thank you to whoever left this crock pot for our use!  They don’t make crock pots here in Uruguay.
