It was a great day, 3 wards this morning

Dearest Family,   
    A very Happy Birthday to Michelle on Wednesday & on Thursday - Happy 17th Birthday to Mica!  Hope you each have a wonderful day!
    It was a great day, 3 wards this morning during Sunday School time doing lessons– It is great to see people learning, we pray to inspire them to continue to do the work after the class is done! Back to Lovell for the 1st ward with an open workshop week. This was fun since, Rob, Ethan & Bekah were in this group plus some other patrons.  Ethan & Bekah started indexing! Maybe tomorrow when they stop by we will be able to get their trees all connected! We were blessed to attend our home ward today, it was ward conference!  Also had youth in the the FHC tonight indexing!

    Ethan & Bekah arrived in Lovell on Friday! Saturday evening Michelle & Rob had a family dinner, then an open house!   We were there until about 7:30 p.m. then came home to get ready for Sunday!   They said they had quite a few people stop by for the open house.  It is so grand to see them & enjoy them for a few days! We gave them their temple quilt – they were very pleased! !
    Had an interesting experience at the Public Library on Monday! A young women, a member, came in. A non-member friend had contacted her, saying, “You are a Mormon, you can help me with find my family!   I had a dream the other night that a man & a woman were helping you do this!”   As the young women came into the library & saw us, (she did already know us), she was sort of chuckling to herself, realizing how her friends dream was being fulfilled.  We began working, I was wondering just what we would find, because we had very little info, & many of the people were still living!   My, how amazing the Lord works!  We did some Google searches, came up with a little more info, & then an obituary which was posted in Findagrave!  After she left, I found another one in a Newspaper which was different but about the same person.  Each of these told about his living family!   And there is still more – she will be back on Monday!

    It has been a fun week & very busy week, with many other special experiences.  Our Thursday morning in Cowley was also busy with 4 patrons, (one man from Burlington too) & a ward consultant who helped us!   It was great!
    Friday afternoon we went to the FHC, the missionaries were serving hot chocolate & talking to people about FH out on Main street. They did have a few stop by, but no one had time to come to the center.   I had invited JQ, my usual Friday afternoon patron to come there. She brought her friend whom she is engaged to, with her.  He thought it would be boring, but as usual with the help of Bro Croft, now he is excited, will be coming again next week with some pictures to scan & more info to work on.
    Well there is much more, but this is enough for tonight!  CTR & have a great week    Our Love,   Bro & Sis Croft
