During the week we photographed our first box of records and learned how to send them to Salt Lake. We are crossing our fingers that they are good enough and we won't have rework.

Getting Down to Work
July 5th we met with our FamilySearch supervisor to get started working at the Archives. During the week we photographed our first box of records and learned how to send them to Salt Lake. We are crossing our fingers that they are good enough and we won't have rework.

4th of July Weekend
Janice and John and kids stopped in on their way to and from their family reunion in Colorado. We got to see them twice in one week! Here we are at the Visitor Center. 
On Monday the 4th we had a pot luck dinner with other senior missionaries, then saw a community band perform. This was followed by a concert by the Hughes Brothers from Branson, MO and finally a fireworks show. Here are a few of the missionaries waiting for the concert to begin.

First Week
We stocked our kitchen with food the first week and generally tried to learn our way around Independence. One day we went to the National Archives in midtown Kansas City to meet with our archivist, get our researcher cards and have an orientation. Here is the NARA building.
We also walked next door to Union Station. (We wear casual clothes to the Archives and wear FamilySearch name tags.)

The Trip East
The mountains were beautiful through western Colorado.
We were able to stop and see Andre', Michelle and Rhett for a couple of days in Boulder.
Rhett was excited to show us his new skills on his strider bike at the bike park.
We crossed Colorado and then Kansas. Here is the view from our Colby, Kansas hotel. 
Monday afternoon we made it to Independence, Missouri! Too tired to take any pictures.

Last day of training
We spent the last day of training in Salt Lake at the FamilySearch offices. Here is part of our group in the camera repair workshop.
Here are some of the hard drives ready to ship out to camera operators all over the world.
At the end of the day we hit the highway heading east to Missouri!
