Week 73 - Jan 23, 2016

Week 73 - Jan 23, 2016
Jacob:
Hello everyone! It seems like you are doing alright back at home. Last weekend we went to the temple to help some other elders get some baptisms and confirmations done. We were planning to do some initiatories done too, but there wasn't enough time and we hadn't had dinner yet.
We also decided to pull out of dodge-ball for sports because it was getting too competitive and my companion got injured. It says right in the handbook that sports should not be too intense, but we believe that dodge-ball is getting too intense especially with new young elders who don't know their own strength. As a result my companion and our sports coordinators are trying to find ways to make indoor sports more fun and safe.
Let's go on to something happier...
In my Indexing I got moved up to "Arbitrator" status because FamilySearch was looking for more arbitrators. Basically it's like indexing, except you get two lists that were already done for a single record. I get to solve the differences between the two lists and figure which item on either list is more correct. Or if they're both wrong I get to type in the correct answer.
If it's help on family history work, then there are some lessons and videos by Leland Moon on the FamilySearch website in the Learning Center (under "Get Help".) They are especially good for those who are beginning family history work. There are also a bunch of family history videos in lds.org's Media Library that you can use.
It's nice that everyone is breaking out of their comfort zones this year. I hope that you all put your best foot forward and have a good year.
Sincerely,
Elder Derricott
