Dearest Family,
I am just pondering our week! It has been a little bit of so many
things! Public Library day was slow! I kept busy by indexing! Bro Croft
visited with Bro L, He is the one who was recently activated & ordained a
High Priest. He brought us several tomatoes, ones he harvested from his garden
& has been keeping them while they ripened, sure tasted good! The weather
only went below zero once this week . . .so it was lots nicer.
Tuesday a.m., I was hoping to quilt a little, before going to a funeral
at 10:00, when we noticed mule deer crossing the road into the orchard. We
decided to see what we could do, quickly getting into warm clothes. We
proceeded to go quietly down the driveway, then behind the pigeon house, that
way we could see the deer as they moved into the field. They did spook a
little, from the orchard, but stopped on the dirt hill by the pond and hunting
platform in the field. I was able to fill my second license by 8:00 a.m. We
had it dressed and hung by 8:30am that morning! We changed clothes and were at
our morning apt on time. A blessing to get it done so easily. Now Bro Croft
just has one more to get!
On Wednesday, we had two special HighLights of the week! The first was
a Primary Activity Day. They had prepared their Sr Primary (abt 16 youth),
having parent’s set up their accounts & sent a pedigree chart with them.
They came into the FHC in two groups & we were able to connect their trees
& have them look at photos & stories! They enjoyed it so very much
& got so excited! As usual, they did not want to stop & go back to the
other activities!
The second was a YW group in Cowley 1 on Wednesday evening, they were
looking for temple names. Several were able to use Descendency to locate names
for temple work. Our time in Cowley on Thursday morning was very busy with
several patrons doing FS and indexing. Our time in Cowley each week is always
wonderful! !
On Friday, we went to Billings, to the temple – that always makes for a
great day! Did some family names which makes it even more special! It was even
warmer in the temple! A note on the economy; gas was $2.81/gal so we filled up
on the way home.
As usual our Sunday was a busy one! Several workshops with groups
who had just finished a series of classes, a meeting to train new High Priest’s
leadership, a first lesson in one ward, & a meeting with our Youth FH
consultants. They are finalizing details for the Million Name Indexing
Challenge. The kickoff is one week from Monday. They have decided to asked
their YM & YW Leaders to participate with them.
Another exciting event, I received an email yesterday from my cousin
Jane in Denmark! She was so excited – she had found the death date of Marie!
Marie is the half sister to Grandpa Frank Petersen & we have pictures of her
when she visited the United States. If you go to her record in FS, Marie
Magdalene Jacobine Gertsen, L7FY-XKH , I could
even read a little of it – the dates & names, at least! We Skyped this AM
to share our excitement!
Our 7 inches of snow is mostly gone after all the warm days. I have
also added several new pictures of Bro Crofts garden! It is really growing - -

CTR & have a great week, we are off
to the Public Library soon! Our Love Bro & Sis Croft
