Have they added more powerful computers yet? Sometimes it is sooooooo slow now, and Utah isn't even on the system yet. I could knit a sweater while I'm waiting for screens to change sometimes, and I'm not much of a knitter. Karen In a message dated 6/13/2009 4:03:51 P.M.

So, I would expect an accelerated emailing of consultants informing them they can start training. NOW .. if I could just get people in the wards in our stake and our stake moving on getting consultants called. So far, only one consultant in one ward in our stake has been called despite being informed each time a stake in Utah or Idaho is added that it's coming ... coming SOON and FAST to the wards and stakes. Sometimes you can't help but think of the parable of the bridesmaids when it comes to getting the wards and stakes moving on this. > From: jballing@relia.net > To: lds-ward-consultant@rootsweb.com > Date: Sat, 13 Jun 2009 13:33:25 -0600 > Subject: Re: [LDS-WC] Company's Coming ..... > > Sister Scott, > I am an associate director at ORFHC.

Actually it's not a case of adding more powerful computers.. just adding more computers. And yes, my sources tell me there have been a few servers added. However during peak usage the system probably will be slow.. I would hope that folks would encourage the other consultants in the Temple Districts to register and take the online training for nFS. The more that finish the training.. the earlier your Temple or Stake will have nFS... As Utah rolls out.. we will see more squabbling between cousins and disputing etc. Disputing information on nFS makes a real mess.
