Being the slower time of year for the mission, the mission presidency has been encouraging the missionaries to support the Family History Center which is across the street from the temple. There are service missionaries called to serve there for one year. Ann and I have wanted to visit there to learn more about the newest "Family Tree" system and to see if we could find any ancestors that need temple work done. With my work schedule, evenings tied up doing shows or other duties, we haven't gotten there.
However, recently the mission presidency has provided us with a help. They indicated that for those who would like to go to the Family Search Center to learn more about how to use the new system, we could sign up and the mission scheduler would schedule use for a four hour block for that purpose. Those of us assigned to Facilities Management would be allowed to go at the same time our spouse was scheduled.
Ann was scheduled for this morning, so I got to go with her. It was very productive time. We not only got to learn about the system but were able to find family members for whom we can do temple work. With the help of the missionaries, we found eight men and two women between the two of us who need to have their temple work done. It was a great experience and one we hope we can repeat. My only regret was that I was told that Danish and German lines were very difficult if not nearly impossible to do much with because of lack of records available to the church.
