Dearest Family!
It was great to be with many of you on Saturday! So nice to get
together for dinner! We love you all & miss those who were unable to be
here. Yummy Potato Bar!
It has been a very cold, snowy week with temps from –10’ to –30’F with
day time highs of zero. Over a foot of snow this week too all of which has
slowed down the work. Many cancelations but still several great times helping
patrons in their homes or at the library! Three days were spent here at home,
watching web broadcasts of the 2014 Roots Tech conference held in SLC! We
probably watched 12 or so different presentations! Learned a great deal &
now we are excited to study them all more! It was interesting to listen to Todd
Hansen of the Story Trek program on BYU TV & Stephanie Nelson, the young
mother who was burned over 80% of her body in a plane crash & writes an
inspiring blog about her life. We learned about “Doing FH in our sleep” , “DNA”
“How to interview Yourself” just to name a few. We will let you know when these
videos are put on the web. The FH Day that both the Cody and Lovell Stakes are
having soon are among the 640 ones being held across the church using Roots Tech
presentations at the local level. The Lord is hastening His work at all levels!
! !
Then there were talks by Elder Dennis Brimhall who is CEO of Family
Search for the church & Elder Allen Packer FH Director, both gave
instructions as to what the Lord expects us to be doing in FH. Lets just say
we have been spiritually fed!
The other project this week – Ryan & Rhonda’s quilt is finally on
the frames & over the next – I don’t know how long – it will get quilted.
Among other things, Dad’s biggest project was shoveling snow! He has had more
than his share, thankfully he has a snow blower. It has been unusual to have
below zero temperatures & snow at the same time. He has had several fun
visits with Marlene, teaching her about Family Search! She’s a great student.
We love you all & CTR
Your missionary grand parents,
Bro & Sister Croft
