Joao Ventura, the archivist, explained this at our conference in Salt Lake. I hope Rosemarie or another attendee remembers better than I do. "Auzente" or "ausente" is absent. That person was absent when someone came by. (This is where I hope someone else remembers). They were absent from doing the Lenten confession or something. I can't remember what.
