Indexing Party!

Why didn't I take any pictures? Because I'm stupid, that's why. We had a great turnout last night and added 3 new indexers! Peggy J just started last night and she's already done 150 names! We also inherited Debbie P's #s from her last ward: 560. Phew! We need those. It was really fun and i'm sorry if you missed Jane's spinach dip or all the funny names we came across. And all the orphan prisoners.

It's dudes like this that give all dudes a bad name. I want to go back in time 80 years and slap this guy in the face. You can't marry your daughter's younger friend - especially while she's still living at home. I'm guessing the last two kids are with his new wife which means they got married when she was 18 or nineteen. Creeper.Add Image

You guys are so good and I'm so happy that you feel the spirit of this work. I love that Robin put in the bulletin that these are not NAMES they are PEOPLE. So true. It's a good work.

Spookiest Indexing Ponderings thus Far...

I have indexed about 16,000 names. I don't say that to boast (obviously) but only to give credibility to my ponderings. In those 16,000ish names, I have had maybe 25 divorces. I used to think, "Wow. People were really committed to their marriages back then." But the more I have done, the more I have seen a frightening trend... very few divorces but MANY, MANY widows and widowers... coincidence? Or did they have other means of solving their marital strife?

Dun Duh Duh!!! (that's a spooky story sound)

Overall October Number: 16,866
Overall #: 161,866

October Top Indexers:
YW 7175
Primary 4588
Priesthood 3150
RS 1754

2800 Shelby S
2012 Shauna M
1600 Krista M (Krista doesn't count toward any auxiliary totals, but she does count toward the ward total)
1550 Bruce B
1399 Sarah M
1244 Christine W
1090 Katelyn M
1050 Larry W
1000 Robin "indexer's elbow" B
917 Jane H
450 Ray F
402 Carol B
235 Lindsey G
200 Amy C
165 Beth M
152 Natalie E
150 Amy G (+1351 arbitrated)
150 Julie A
150 Rebecca B
50 Richard H
50 Dale H

Great job, everyone. Only about 40,000 to go by Dec. 31. That means we have to better. I think we can do better.
