Dearest Family,
Happy Birthday to Aunt Gaye today, Sunday, August 31, & to Darece
on Thursday, September 4! Hope your day is or was great! Welcome home
Chris!
I enjoyed working with J Q on our Public Library day, she has been
writing memories of her aunts, uncles, grandparents & adding them to the
tree! We have also scanned in lots of photos, we have added lots & still
have lots to go! We are making progress! She doesn’t have a computer so we
just work on each Monday! It was quiet for Bro Croft this week! Indexed with
our sister this week, had several cancellations!
Our Day in Cowley was great! The two elders came in, they are having
a conference in Billings next week & will get to go to the temple – they are
always so excited for this! Both found a name to do the endowment for & a
brother who was also there working on FH volunteered to do the Baptism &
initatory on the names so that the names will be ready next week! That was so
sweet of him! Aren’t people just the greatest! We have had several new bishops
in the stake in the last several months & this week we were able to meet
with one of them! It was a special time of feeling & sharing the spirit of
this great work.
We had a great visit with Chris via Skype on Thursday! It was super to
see & talk to him– he was reporting his mission today!
Marlene & Valyn flew in on Thursday & Bill & Kathy came up
from Riverton! We got together with them Thursday afternoon & evening.
Marlene, Kathy & I did some indexing of obituaries – they are so fun, but a
little tricky! Sure enjoyed visiting! Marlene, Valyn, Gaye’s family all went to
the Big Horns on Friday! Bill, Kathy, Dad & I went to Billings to the
temple! All of us had a great time! Again on Saturday we were able to get
together again! Looking at photos on Family Search.org does wonders to inspire
stories & memories!!! It was a slower Sunday, with classes small because of
the holiday, but there was walk in traffic which is great! Had more youth into
the FHC tonight & also in two wards there were new Youth Consultants were
sustained! I am forwarding a FS newsletter to all or you which includes the
links to setting up accounts with the Partner Sites, Ancestry, My Heritage, &
Find My Past. Let me know if it does not work!
Quite a wet week everyday some rain, making the hay harvesting stop
just like on the first cutting. We are seeing a few deer as we are moving around
in our work, even a 2 pt wt tail buck eating apples in the orchard most every
day. Dad and I each have 2 deer licenses this fall that we can use from Oct 1
to Dec 31. We almost got one before the season opened on Thursday night when we
came home.
With schools now in session we will have fewer apt cancellations as
families will be staying home. We will still attend some of the sporting events
to support all the youth we work with in FH! Plus we always pick up apts with
families at these games.
Love you all, CTR
Bro & Sister Croft
