We had our first day of service in the Library today. The library staff is preparing for their summer activities. We helped them put together the award bags; these are bags of fun goodies for when the adults and children achieve a certain amount of reading hours for the summer. They have bags for kids, teenagers and adults. We spent about two hours on this project and got it all done. Afterwards, we were trained on how to "read shelves". We carefully examine the books on each shelf to ensure that they are in alphabetical order. We spent about an hour doing that. You may imagine, it got a little tedious after awhile.

During the afternoon we continued our preparations for institute on Friday evening.We are being careful to prepare how we were instructed by the CES office.

This evening we visited with our new Bishop, Bishop Adams. We reviewed the ward roster paying particular attention to the military families. He told us what he knew about the families that he was able to share with us. We came home and I began calling the families; I was able to find one at home who would answer his phone. We made an appointment to go out and see him. We will keep trying the other families; hopefully they will answer their phones so we can make an appointment with them. Some of them have email addresses, so we can try that route as well.
