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 ...
these little bags were made by the lady who gave me the fabric. I thought they were a cute idea. we lucked out one afternoon, after all, the embassy wives came for a luncheon. They had a lot of Persian food leftover and offered it to all the staff in the library. I had a small lunch that day so I was very happy to have it. One missionary asked me to sew a tag that he could sew onto his temple bag, I actually sewed it on for him. HE WAS TICKLED!
