Dearest Family!
Happy Father’s Day to all the wonderful Fathers in our
family! We so appreciate all of you & the great Priesthood men that you
are! It has been a wonderful Sabbath Day! We have mainly helped people learn to
use the Mobile Apps to record audio stories! The hardest part is to inspire
people to look past their initial fears, just relax & talk about whatever!
This way they can learn the process! They relax & tell that first story!
Sometimes we just sit & chat, letting the device do the work! Other times
we review how to do it! Anything that lets us practice the steps. Each week we
have individuals who say “I tried it, but what was I missing?” Well, it was
just one step of the 4-5 steps! Gee Whiz – that amazing word practice! Guess
what, I have to do it also!
Well, it was our turn to speak today – even in our own ward! We are
thankful for the opportunity, but I am sure glad it is done, sometimes topics I
am given can really be difficult- “The Sacred Role of Fathers in the Plan of
Salvation” I just had a hard time wrapping my mind around it! (She did an
awesome job with it - Dad) Bro Croft’s was about “The Blessing of a Righteous
Father & Husband in the Home” His talk was so very special with many
personal experiences. What a gifted and wonderful, sweetheart, husband &
father he is – love him so-o-o-o
This has has been a wonderful week! Last Sunday, I was walking thru
the foyer in Cowley, I happened to visit with a sister who had been in some of
our classes. She has been going to college & has been just to busy to really
get involved, but has also felt frustrated that she isn’t doing it. She was so
excited to see me & wanted us to come to their home on Friday! It was a
wonderful visit, Bro Croft was able to work with her husband & a teenage
daughter. They worked on the apps! She & I worked together – it is great to
work in the home, one on one! Her family came from Lebanon, into Central &
S America. She was raised in Illinois. We had a wonderful time & will get
together again in two weeks!
Monday at the Public library, I worked with S C, a non member sister
who also comes to the FHC to work other days. Bro Croft had a family of 6 stop
by whom he helped with the apps! I also made contact with a lady I had worked
with last Fall. I had expected to see her again but lost contact with her. It
was amazing how the Lord works so that we could make contact again! In the next
few days I plan to record this story. Our Thursday morning in Cowley was busy!
We enjoy the family who comes in – Mom, Dad & three daughters, 8, 12, 15 I
think. Then we had 4 other people also! We were BUSY being sure they all had a
wonderful experience! ! !
We attended Zac & Courni Haskell’s wedding reception this week
& the wedding of Sam Smith & Natalie Kasinger, Joy will know her
family. Bro Croft visited with her grandfather, Dale (not LDS)who is one of
dad’s friends since childhood. He has a lot of FH type stuff from his family and
doesn’t know how to put it all together. Dad talked to one of the grand
daughters who is LDS about helping her gdpa. Bishop & Sister Davidson of the
Powell Student Ward also had lots of questions.
Enjoyed a visit with Rob one afternoon this week. Friday a.m. Amber
& girls came. – Allen was at the Cub Scout Day camp with the boys! Dad
spent a lot of time with the girls and they had a great time talking, fishing
3x’s and swinging! Dad and Leanne recorded a couple of stories on the FS app
too! We so enjoyed having them here Friday & Saturday! The greatest!
Saturday lunch Allen & the boys were here also for egg rolls! Yummy! Had
a delicious Father’s Day dinner with the Grants Saturday evening, Ken, Darece,
Whitney, Kaitlyn & Talon. Thanks so much for the nice evening & yummy
dinner. CTR & we love you all! Bro
& Sis Croft
