Dearest Family,
Another wonderful Sabbath Day – we attended the Lovell 4th ward
Sacrament Meeting then their Sun School Class! Their lesson was on Submitting
Names for Temple Work. It is one of my favorite lessons to give – the video we
us is just perfect & there is always such a special spirit during this
lesson! It was also the lesson for the Cowley 2nd ward! We also had two wards
holding Ward conference today so that changed our schedule a little! We are
able to visit other wards during this time & we enjoy that! Several wards
did lessons on Indexing, since beginning on Feb 15, there will be an Adult
/Youth Indexing Challenge!
The week was a busy one, 2-4 appointments per day. The weather was
very nice into the 60’s and lots of wind so it’s pretty muddy around our place.
Spring is slowly trying to overtake winter. . . Still don’t have our RAV4 out
of the the shop yet. One day, I was helping a sister who had a great deal of
Family History from her previous husband, who is deceased. Because it is not
her line, she is unable to do the temple work for these people & was
concerned about that. She had decided to enter the information into
FamilySearch so it would be there for others to find. We began adding the info
& found a line which was already in FS. Much to her surprise & joy, we
found a great grandfather who had had some temple ordinances done just 4 days
ago in the Louisville Kentucky Temple! What a witness it was to the greatness of
this work & that she was doing the right thing. Bro Croft is helping her
husband also, he is a High Priest Group Leader, so they worked on leadership
responsibilities & also downloading apps to record stories. Wednesday was
our FH Consultant Training Meeting & on Thurs Eve we had a RS group in the
FHC to do indexing! The ward consultants are teaching most of the indexing
classes & it is great!
It was so very special to help each person this week, during each, the
spirit whispers & testifies! This is great! A brother we help shared how he
had taught FH to several people in his family and the excitement they had felt
for FH too. He is also using it with a less active family he Home Teaches so
they too can feel the Spirit. They are using the My Family Booklet then putting
their info into Family Search. He enjoys recording family stories too!
We were also blessed to have Bill & Kathy here for several days,
arriving Thursday evening – we did family names in the temple on Friday – helped
them with Family History, Friday Evening & Saturday morning. Had a
wonderful time visiting!
Our love to all of you & CTR Bro & Sis Croft
