Alfdorf, Germany

I got up about 11:30, showered, and had “brunch” at the Haghof. I got into Repa about 1 p.m. I ordered seat belts for Frau Schmidt at Ehrenreich. I wrote the program to calculate the Branch Ordinance and Action Report statistics. I’ll run the program tonight and see what comes out. It’s a rather complicated program. I worked on the agenda for Branch Council on Sunday. I must send the post cards tomorrow to remind everyone that we’ll be having the meeting.

I put the post cards in the mail and sent Sister Lucyzk the list of the 12-18 year-old girls in the branch. I worked on the program and listings of Branch members. I found an error in the age calculation … after increasing the field size by 1 in the month it worked correctly. There wasn’t enough space in the field two characters wide to subtract 1 from 12 and have a minus sign. the Branch statistics calculated very nicely, with minor discrepancies to the one Br. Rudloff calculated by hand. I got out the birthday list — this coud be a home teaching tool. Br. Trautmann and I go visit the members just before their birthday, take a card, and give them birthday greetings. Fellowshiping possibilities here. The records show a lot of 25-30 year-olds still living with their parents … probably not so in all cases. We’ll need to track them down and see if we need to send off some membership records.

Gordon Plummer arrives in Düsseldorf today and will be here through Monday. We will fly Tuesday to Munich to be at BLW for the rest of the week to attend the EDP Steering Committee Meeting on Friday.

I went to back to the Hoghof hotel about 3 a.m. The weather was clear and beautiful.
