Jueves 20 Febrero 2014
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.
