Let's stretch our imagination and share our Vision

So you have been called as the Branch Family Consultant and like all faithful members, you accepted it as a manifestation of your willingness to serve. Very soon you find that this calling is unlike others you have been called before. There has not been a precedent to this type of calling before in our District and for the few of us who have been called for some time, we may be running into a wall as to how we can effectively serve. The additional factor that may discourage some from becoming effective in this call is the increasing usage of computers in family history work.

The purpose of this 'blog' is therefore a vehicle to get us going and be able to make a difference in the family history work of our District. I will be your official personal coach to guide you to success and it starts from your participation in this 'blog' or special website which facilitates communication with all family consultants. You will also receive communication from me via SMS and the phone from time to time to give you the additional attention that you may need but if you are able to visit this 'blog' regularly, other forms of communication may not be necessary except for an actual meeting of the group for hands on experience and discussion at the Family History Centre.

So lets warm up with some dialogues going and use your imagination for a few minutes to share your thoughts in the comments for this posting. Share with us what is your Vision as to what you can learn and do from this blog and how you can make a difference to others in doing their family history work?
