The Joy Monster

Last night Peter exclaimed aloud, "this family history indexing is really bringing a lot of joy into my life!" Is that an adorable quotable or what!? He's been online frequently this past month, indexing names and learning everything about his new calling - Family History Coordinator/Supervisor. He has three people he coordinates with, trains, and "supervises," in addition to working with the family history missionaries in our ward. He is planning a training meeting next week, but plans on working one on one with new members or anyone who is interested. His biggest accomplishment to date? Getting ME signed up to index names! I enjoyed it as well, and hope to lend some reconnaissance to deciphering Italian, French and Spanish surnames from the Census. There's even a point system for indexers: so far I have one point and Peter has 300. Thus, he currently has more joy than me. Watch out - as he'll be contacting you soon!

Peter and Andy find joy in similar ways. Once Family History ensnares you, you're never the same.
