Week Ten

I thought it would be funny to send an email to Eric translated into Scottish (I used http://www.whoohoo.co.uk/ for the translation). The first couple of lines from Eric's email his week's is a response to that Scottish email.




Wa that's nae a Scottish e-mail!  Ye forgot yer exclamation marks! Yer a sham tae th' scottish bluid ye claeem tae hauld! wa Ah ooght ta brain ye wi' haggis ye nae guid nancy!

Yeah okay I'm done.  Now that I've wasted about 20 minutes typing out one sentence, I actually didn't eat at Croon Burger because the elders I gathered bailed on me and my schedule is so different than everyone else's that it's hard to coordinate stuff like that.  I ended up just eating at the cafeteria at the Church Office Building because I can go there alone and it's actually a nice place.  Brother Klopfer plays the piano in there apparently too.  I have eaten at City Creek a couple of times though.

And speaking of which, Elder Smith told me that I missed running into you on Monday by about 10 minutes.  I got the jackets but that's the only thing I've gotten this week.

(BRIAN'S NOTE: When Eric requests things that he needs from home, it is easier to drop them off at the mission office than to mail it. When I do that, I am supposed to call Elder Brandon -- who is in charge of the young missionaries in the Family and Church History Mission -- so we can arrange a time and place for a drop off. I couldn't find his number so I decided I would risk it and just went up to the mission office to drop off the package and was told that I missed Eric by about 10 minutes.)

I keep telling everyone I know that this weather isn't going to last because I've lived in Utah long enough to know that but they just plug their ears and go "lalalalalala" so I think everyone knows we're just currently pretending the weather will stay like this.  I don't know if you knew this but I'm not allowed to serve in the library without my suit coat on.  It gets really hot.  And I'm not even allowed to take my suit coat off in public until April Conference passes.  Again, I am really hot.

Next week is going to be busy because there's going to be a RootsTech conference, so I'd assume family historians from all over the country are going to be in Salt Lake for one week.  UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Also the two most commonly asked questions I get from patrons is "How do I print this?"  and "I put my flash drive in but it isn't showing up.  How do I get to it?" I've only actually helped someone with their family history like once.  People still love me though because compared to all the senior missionaries in my zone I'm like the Computer Lord of All.  The funniest thing I've seen here so far is the senior missionaries excitedly showing each other Google Images because they all think it's new.  It's adorable.

The library is getting busier and busier and it will only get worse as conference draws nearer and it will probably stay like that until October Conference ends.
