I really try to keep my promises. Just busy ( 5 sons, a business, church
position, community involvement, whew....) I will keep experimenting with
OCR but looks like will do most or all manually as time allows, I would
really like to send the music too and I do have both English and Spanish
translations for each so will see what I can get to you some way...

Too Obvious? no nor for me..... I do appreciate your suggestions. scanning
is new to me. I have pretty good history with computers in general but
scanning and the various formats are very new to me...
I am quite serious if electronic means will not work out to mail to you
copies of all thee languages with music.....

Some of it is unique to us and as you suggest below. some is shared with
minor modifications as you note.
I am a child of God is unique to us and a "modern" hymn, actually a Childs
hymn, I included it in one of the first tries as it is one of my favorites.

I think I understand..... I remember when "we" were first translating the
Book of Mormon, there was great concern over how it was written. Many
people even in English criticize the "old English" translations of the Bible
and Book of Mormon but the Church really resists any change to more "
modern" translations.
