We have had an amazing week!

July 6, 2014
Dearest Family,
    Happy Birthday to Marlene today, July 6th & to Amber on Tuesday, July 8th!    Hope you have a great day!
We have had an amazing week! Ryan & Rhonda stopped by so we could wish him Happy Birthday & they shared their surprise of the day – it’s a boy!  Each day we saw miracles.    J Q & I analyzed her pedigree  to re-focus & see where we need to go now! That is the way life is, we just need to be analyzing to keep ourselves on the straight path!  As usual we have helped several with indexing, several with their family trees, some adding photos, others looking for ordinances. We had a youth group in the FHC this Wednesday, Several of them were able to find places in the tree to find ancestors.  Dad had success again with two youth in using Puzzilla.org to find missing family members not yet in the Family Tree. He was training a new FHC as well as helping a young lady when the new FHC suddenly pointed to a name and said check this one. Sure enough there was a spouse and children, 3 girls and 2 boys.  He took the time to witness to them how the Spirit had prompted the FHC! It was another one of those WOW moments! ! !   It was also our Family History consultant meeting, we helped with training there. We explored several new features like Hints, Attaching sources to the tree, the new setting section for patrons and how to add photos from the Person page. New features are being added every week to hasten the work.

    July 4th – we do live in a wonderful land!  It is a blessing!   Took a break from the routine & fished at Crooked Creek Bay from the shore!   It was an absolutely perfect morning! Calm, warm, the fish were jumping & biting, Dad was able to share some maps & info with people new to the area. After arriving home, I discovered that there were few pesky bugs that feasted on me. I was able to get Bo & McKinzea’s quilt on.  We enjoyed a barbeque at the Rael’s in Cowley!  yum yum  Saturday was our first trip to the Big Horns – so Bro Croft could get acclimated before Big Sky.  The flowers were beautiful, saw some moose, The mountains were just beautiful!
    Most of all, we watched online as the site for the Youth temple challenge developed. This morning it was up & each youth can now go to this site & accept the challenge. Again we quote Elder Neil L Anderson. ”Set a personal goal to help prepare as many names for the temple as baptisms you perform in the Temple.”  Here is a link to the site:  Just click on it!
 
 
May we challenge the youth of our family accept this challenge. We also challenge you to share your experiences thru Social media to inspire the youth of the world.
 
We had a family of 5 come to the FH Center last night so we had 5 consultants busy helping them connect their trees and locate names, add photos and stories plus add more names to the tree for the husband from his non-LDS relatives records. So exciting to see a family so excited working together on FH!
 
We love you all!
