Dearest Family
Happy Birthday, Dak & Tchae!!!!!
It has been a wonderful week! Isn’t that what we always say! We have
a new FH consultant in one of the wards! We have worked with her three times
this week. Her tree is interesting, with 3 of 4 non LDS lines! She is 50’ish, a
convert & has never done much with FH. She has computer experience. That
makes it easier. She is mainly learning about FH, it is fun to work with her,
different than many we help & she is very excited!
This week we had a very choice experience with a brother, the only
member in his family, who has been in Iowa, caring for his dying Father. He so
wanted to share this spiritual experience with us & we felt blessed that he
would! He talked of giving him a priesthood blessing just before his passing,
& the great love he felt for his Father! He also came home with a car load
of memorabilia, letters, pictures, etc. that he continues to sort & add to
Family Tree. He also has a tree full of Green arrows, the ones that indicate
ordinances needed. Many of his ward members are involved helping him with the
ordinances!
Our classes today were filled with a variety of ups & downs! The
downs, internet crashing at times in all the buildings! There is always several
who have forgotten their user name & password. We expect that!!! The
ups..... A 13 year old young lady, just getting more & more excited each
week, adding pictures, learning about searching records – she started out angry
about doing this in Sunday School. Some one’s tree connecting the first time she
went into it! A big class – in a ward that is just getting started. Several
young people excited about seeing an original record about a grand parent!
Witnessing a Youth class, in a ward that has been doing the FH thing for 3- 4
years. 3 consultants, 2 youth consultant helping 6-7, 12-13 yr olds learn
about their family, some finding temple names, some finding a story for trek! It
was a special day!
Family History Day is fast approaching, this coming Saturday & more
registrations were turned in today! We have been planning & preparing for
months & this time next week we will be reporting on it’s success!
Rob came to have dinner with us on Monday evening while Michelle and
Krysta were gone to New Mexico. We enjoyed visiting for awhile! Dad and I did
an outing on Friday morning out to Bighorn Canyon to see the sites since the
weather has been so warm. There were a lot of Bald Eagles near the Causeway on
the ice, such majestic birds of prey! We are also doing some spring yard work
now our snow is gone . . . . .after almost 4 months of white cover.
It has been a great week – just remember – each day you are
making family history!
LIFE IS FAMILY HISTORY! ! ! !
CTR – we love you all
Bro & Sister Croft
