Special Thanksgiving Weekend

I have been busy the last several months with family history and gathering names.  It has been a long slow process.  I have had a ton of names on my computer from family history, but it was with the old PAF computer program.  I upgraded to Ancestral Quest and have all those names uploaded.  Then the test of linking and sincing with the church family history files so I could get names cleared to do temple work began.  That was a huge process, but finally figured that out.

When I got all my names cleared that I had ready, I had over 90 names that needed baptisms and temple work done.  I had given some names to Myka to do at Manti when we went for the pagent and I gave my sister Pat some names when she took the girls to New York and they did baptisms at the Manhattan Temple.

I still had 65 names to get done.  So we planned to get together over Thanksgiving weekend in Idaho, gather up the kiddlings and do a mass temple day.

We did about 65 baptisms and confirmations and about 20 initiatories at the Twin Falls Temple.  The only picture I got at the temple that day was of Mike, Cristal and Myka, but it was an awesome day and we got lots of family names done.
