Nearly everyone is already feeling better from their cold. Julie's sore throat is gone, now she's just got a runny nose to finish dealing with. Nathaniel also seems to be feeling better, but he is improving slowest. But everyone is definitely feeling much better. Hooray!
Tonight for our FHE activity Neil had us running a series of race-type activities outside. Julie sat on the porch with Nathaniel and cheered us on. Toward the end of the activity Nathaniel started clapping too. We got him clapping on video when we got back in the house. He doesn't understand it yet, but likes the attention and celebration!
Work was really busy today. Dalley was a saint and delayed her lunch by a full hour to open an account for some Portuguese speakers. I really appreciated that because I was the only other foreign-language speaker there that could have done it for them, and I had some other projects that I wanted to work on.
Something funny from today – Someone called us from a law firm in Kansas. They had received a fax from "Freedom Credit Union" that had important information they needed to document, but it was missing other important information that would have let them identify which case it was related to. There was no fax cover sheet, no return contact info, just a signature and sloppily handwritten credit union name. They Googled Freedom Credit Union and called us. I had them send me the page to confirm that it really wasn't us, then I tried to figure out how to help them. As I was looking and looking at the scrawled info at the bottom of the page, suddenly my years of indexing experience kicked in and I was able to make out the full name of the credit union – Freedom 1st FCU. They are also in Kansas. Bingo. I was able to give them the contact info they needed. Yes, indexing really does bring blessings! 😊
Today the Church announced some changes to the endowment ceremony in response to the coronavirus. There were no details given and we were asked not to speculate on the changes, but to be prepared to worship in the temples again when we can. Without speculating, I have some ideas of what changes would make sense. And after far too long not being able to attend the temple, all I can do is work on indexing until our temples open again. And with increasing COVID cases in Utah, I suspect that isn't likely for several more months.
Thankful: I'm thankful for good health and recovery from illness and that Julie especially is feeling better. And I'm thankful that we harvested the first tomato from our garden!
Ministering: Can I count ministering to the law firm in Kansas? 😊
More later…
