TRAINING- - - and more Training. . .WHEN do we start SERVING??

We had lots of exposure to the Computer and were trained so well on so many aspects of FAMILY
 SEARCH that I had always “wondered” about but not investigated to find out “how” to get somethings done. This Mission fills its Training Zone with very capable and talented people—whom we had opportunity to be taught AND reviewed by daily!! We even physically walked over to the Family History Library and the Church History Library and had the “Tour” of each of those facilities. FASCINATING!! Awe Inspiring! Amazing the RESOURCES the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints has to offer and freely lets ANYONE in the World come in and utilize!!
Inside the Family History Library — there are 6 or 7 Zones where people are needed and we got to see “in a nutshell” what things can be accomplished. One of the most “exciting” is called “The Discovery Zone. 
     Here you enter and find a room full of large screens and “helpers” wko are there to instruct you about how to use the portable IPads to first, take your picture, then second, walk around to the different colored screens to find out some KNOWN and LITTLE KNOWN facts about you and/or your ancestors!! 

Below are some things that I found so interesting:

These are actually from our MTC “Technology 101” Training OR  “ Dumbing Down” what’s available on our Cell Phones or “Smart Phones” to make some of what we do. . . a little EASIER!!! (And IT DOES!!)

   

This is some of the Information that I found as I went from screen to screen on this wonderful floor of the Family History Library.

The year Carol Diane Goff Mumford’s  Mother,  L UELLA  Grace Newbold Goff  was born, 1910– there were this many others in the US who also had the name of Luella,

Now there is a Maggie Luella (Katie Marie and Sefton Wilde’s first child) in our family. Maggie, you need to come to the Family History Library and “DISCOVER” how many Luella’s there were the year you were born.  (This is on the Discovery Floor

The year—1909– when Emery IELO Goff (Carol Diane  Goff Mumford’s Dad was born) there were only 2 other people in the United States with that name. . . ONLY 2!!!  So I sent Lissa  Mumford  a text  with this picture of Ielo’s name—so she could show it to   Pierson IELO Mumford ( Bryce and Lissa’s oldest child) who is named after his GGrandpa Ielo Goff. He was so excited!! Now we are planning to get him up from Provo, Utah so he can go into DISCOVERY and with his picture onan IPad, he can find out how “rare” his name is today (or at least in the year   Oof  2009 when Pierce was born.  

The prices of everyday items in 1951—the year Carol Diane Goff Mumford was born 

    

  

  

 

 

 

Pres Fenn came into our Training Zone one day and taught us from the Book of Mormon. Like I have said— he IS DYNAMIC and this Mission is so blessed to have him.!.
