Indexing
My stake has set a goal of indexing 300,000 names (I think?) by the end of this year. Indexing involves looking at old census records and transferring vital information from them into searchable indexes so that everyone can do family history a little bit easier. I signed up to start indexing a few years ago and did it pretty regularly until Luke was born (when life got busier!). But I have missed it. I recently picked it up again to help reach our stake's goal and I am LOVING it! It really is so addicting! I feel like I am contributing something, even if I'm not doing my own family history right now. And the best part? Doing it from the comfort of my own home, on my own time. You can do as much or as little as you want. If you haven't tried indexing yet, go for it! Visit familysearchindexing.org

How did I not know that you do indexing on a regular basis? I think you don't tell me half of the things you do so I don't feel so bad. You're amazing.
I was JUST thinking about this the other day..seriously! I'm thinking it's not a coincidence I read this blog entry...I've always wanted to get into it but I've never tried. Thanks for the link!
