Cordon's continued...


So things were pretty quiet on Thursday evening, that is when I work the shift from 2-9 pm.

So Friday was pretty steady and calm. We had a few patrons here and there.

Friday is normally our movie night.  I passed it up because I wanted to do some sewing
and reading.
I altered some outfits for The Cordon's daughter.
She leaves on her mission on Wed this week. She will be serving in Florida.

Our Saturdays are usually a little busier at the library more patrons coming and going.

My Friend, sister Y dropped by again and I gave her the pillowcases for her grandkids that I had completed.

Sat night I decided to make myself a tuna noodle casserole and a shepherd's pie.
I have forgotten how much I enjoy cooking when I have time.

 I want to freeze portions to eat during the week to eat for dinner. I usually am so hungry by the time I get home that I want to eat right away.


I went to bed at 10:30 and slept until 9:30. I woke up Sunday with a stuffy head and was a little achy in my sinuses. By the afternoon it has abated some.

At 3:30 I got a text message from Sister Cordon asking me if I would like to join them for their daughter's setting apart as a missionary at 4 p.m.
 They asked me to meet them in the chapel, so I thought perhaps other missionaries would be there. However, when I got there,  it was their family. Her sister, brother in law, and their four sons from San Leandro. Also, her mother from San Francisco was there too.
 I guess her daughter wanted me there? We are a lot a like her mother says. It was fun to meet their family and use a little of my Spanish. It was a nice visit and a lovely occasion.  Her parents expressed their love for her and their hopes for her. It was mostly in Spanish so I just had a general idea about what they said. The setting apart was in English. Then Dominique,  Now Sister Cordon bore her testimony after wards. It was lovely being there and seeing and feeling the love of this family.

More about the rest of the week in my next entry.
The cat picture is just for fun

My first convert baptism Estreniah Radcliff from Canada

I met Estreniah in the library a few months ago. We got talking, about life. I was helping her with the family search for a bit. She is nanny here, and it was her night off.  She had majored in Sociology and me in psych. We both love kids and had a lot to talk about. She sent part of her later life in foster care. So someday she wants to be a foster parent too. Which lead to our discussion about the challenge of raising children who have experienced early trauma. I introduced her to another Sister to help her. A few days later she came again with more questions. This time the questions were about the church.      We are only allowed to answer questions about family history and bear a brief testimony about why we do family history work, I did just that.  We are not allowed to proselytize in the Library.  We want people to feel comfortable coming here.  Since she still had more questions I introduced her to the younger Sister missionaries  ...
