Week Five

Man all I've only shopped at Harmon's once, every time since has been at Wal-mart.  The Wal-mart there is very interesting.  It's incredibly diverse.  I think the area it's in must be around a muslim neighborhood or something because there are a lot more muslims there than I expected to see in Utah.  

I'm not actually just living off of ginger ale and pizza rolls I was just joking.

I've been tracing Joseph Henry Sutcliffe's line. I don't know who Joseph Henry Sutcliffe is it's just in the training manual.  I'm sure he's the ancestor of one of the senior missionaries or something. 

And the guy at the Bishop's Storehouse said they get visitors from the army, national guard, and such because they really want to find out how the mormons always manage to be the first ones there when it comes to disaster relief.  

And why is Becca getting acupuncture? 

Oh and thanks for the camera but now I don't have anything to connect that one to the computer because the cord I have doesn't fit it.  

Also sorry I confused you about not sending you an e-mail last week but you confused me.  I'm living in my own little world over here and when I don't get a letter or an e-mail from my mom that week I don't know what to think, so I just reply to the people that have e-mailed me.  

My training is still hard but I'm learning a lot.  I can trace genealogies back to the 1500s and even further than that if the family is of nobility.  And that's just in England and Wales, I still haven't learned how to handle Scotland, Ireland, Australia etc.  

And this is kind of a tangent, but do you know how some people say that they can trace their genealogies back to Adam and Eve or Abraham?  Yeah they're lying.  No credible family tree has even managed to get past around 400-100 bc as of yet.  So if they say they're telling the truth they probably have really bad sources or something. 

Just kidding I was way off.  Apparently it's impossible to even trace your lines further than 450 A.D. according to this guy:

I forgot to say that if you're Jewish you can probably trace back your line way further than that, because they have crazy records.  We have plenty of Jewish records here but they're confidential.  Only Jews are allowed to look at them...obviously...
