Super Week-End Indexing Challenge

What a great week-end of Indexing in the Oklahoma City Stake!



When Stake Conference was canceled because of all the snow we had earlier in the week, and the weather man was predicting even more snow to fall, everyone must have read their email and found that they could participate in some wonderful service for the Lord from the comfort of their own home. I am very impressed with all the work that was accomplished in just 2 days.

The Stake Super Week-end Indexing Challenge started about 2:30 pm on Saturday, Feb. 5th. Due to a major computer problem at my house and my new work schedule, I was not able to get the count after the week-end until tonight, Monday Feb 7th. The amount of fantastic work that all of you did amounts to just over 48 hours of effort. This whole idea came about because of one interested indexer, Sherri Furber. Sister Furber thought we had a golden opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the indexing program in lieu of Stake Conference meetings. She was right and you all did a wonderful job. Thank you so much for even one more name that you may have added.

The absolutely fantastic results for 48 hours, just 2 days, was 8400 names Indexed and 546 names arbitrated. At this rate, if we could do it everyday, we would reach our Stake Goal of 500,000 names in 120 days, which would be June 8th !!!!!

Thank you to all who participated in this challenge. You may see some more activities like this in the future.
