The Church of Jesus Christ and LatterDay Saints has been helping out around
Gull Lake for a while now.
Whether they were painting in the summer or doing general chores, the elders are
always around to lend a hand. Now, with
winter in full swing, they’ve begun clinics
in the library with two very unique goals.
“We call the first one the Techno Challenge,” said Elder Elliot. “We sit down in
the library on Tuesdays and help people
learn to use their technology.
“We help with IPhones, computers,
everything … We just want to make sure
people know how to use whatever technology they do have.”
Elliott says it all started when the librarian asked for help.
“We helped her with her cell phone for
a couple of minutes, and she asked if we
knew a lot about these types of things,”
she said.
“We had played around with this type
of stuff before, and she asked if we’d help
people with it.”
So Elder Elliott and Elder Wiltse began
their clinic, which runs Tuesdays from 6
p.m. to 8 p.m.
“It’s postponed right now until the new
year, but that’s usually when it is,” said Elliott.
“It’s inconvenient if you don’t know
how to work technology. Times are changing and everything evolves.”
The second clinic is a genealogy one on
Fridays from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
“We teach the basics of people’s family
history. We show people what websites to
us, how to get information and offer a
starter course,” said Wiltse.
The church uses familysearch.org, a free
service that can find a number of ge-

“The library also has a version of ancestry.ca, but it’s not like a platinum membership. You can do basic things on it. We get
to help people by doing this and it gets
people into the library,” said Elliott.
While Elliott was interested in people
learning how to use the products and sites
to find out about genetic diseases or traits,
Wiltse was more interested in finding people’s ancestral stories.
“You hear lots of stories and can find
out a lot about yourself. Sometimes it
could be things you don’t want to hear,
but it’s interesting to learn your history.”
Elliott remembers fondly one time in
particularly where their help paid off.
“People from our church do some indexing and finding of records. Some work
might already be done on your family,”
said Elliott.
“So a woman put in a name, and the
computer gave her a suggested person.
She clicked it and it exploded with information. There was a line back to 860 A.D.”
The response from people who have utilized the service has been good, and the
elders are happy to provide it.
“People who come in and very excited
and happy they did it. We’re happy to help
everyone. It’s what we’re here for.”
Look for the clinics to start back up in
the library in the new year.
