Dearest Family,
A Happy 1st Birthday last Thursday to Emerson Vehrs!
Happy Birthday this week to Ryan on Wednesday & Chris on Friday! Have a
great day!
The weeks fly by, by, by so quickly! Rob spoke in church today about
Duty to God, how it is easier to build boys, rather than fix men! He shared some
very spiritual experiences which he has had. Today was great – helping brothers
& sisters add stories to their Memories App. Have each of you added a
story? What a blessing it is and will become thru the years! Tonight we met
with our Family History Youth consultants! That is always inspiring &
exciting. They were sharing things they had done the last month in the Memories
App & how they felt about it. Sister M talked about how she felt so much
closer to the relatives she had added pictures to, Sister G shared how she had
stayed with a Grandma for 3-4 days & they had gone thru pictures, her
grandma had shared a story about almost every picture. Some pictures even had
handwriting on the back by the people in the picture! Sister A shared recording
the precious voice of her 3 year old brother & a story by her
great-grandmother. She plans to do more with her this summer! Their spirit is
contagious!
Brother Croft & Bro H went to the Shoshone River by the railroad
trestle to take pictures, where, as a youth he & his friends had swam. They
wanted to add these pictures to his stories. Sister H & I sorted digital
images of slides that were taken when their oldest daughter was young. Sister H
plans to get them printed and give them to her daughter – these are the only
pictures of her childhood. We’ll also add them to Family Search.
At the Public Library, Bro Croft had several families who were
interested in the Apps – and I helped a Sister who was stuck, trying to find a
lost ancestor. We explored other places & ways to search in FS – also gave
her names of several people in our area who are really good at finding lost
people! Elder Richard Scott has promised us that the Lord will help us find a
way & there will be someone to help!
Wednesday afternoon and evening we spent in Worland visiting and
doing a birthday service project for Allen. Grandpa & the boys overhauled
the pigeon coop, they are trying to train their birds to enter the coop a
different way. The girls & I had lots of fun reading & playing!
Thursday I enjoyed the Follies with Darece; Whitney & Kaitlyn were in two
dance numbers & Rhonda sang with her sisters. They all did a wonderful job!
Friday was our temple day, we had a wonderful time there, then did a little
shopping afterwards! Friday evening was the Family Fun Night & the Grants
served the hot dogs, chips & pop! We enjoyed helping! I am a pro at putting
on the ketchup & mustard now. Also got to see Rhonda & Quinn for a few,
enjoyed playing with him. Bo, McKenzea & Athena are here also & it has
been wonderful to meet our newest little Great grand daughter! Saturday was the
Mustang Day Parade! Had a gdpa, his son and 2 grd children come to our pond
and fish before the parade. Sounds as if we socialized all week – but that is
Family History also!
To any of you, we have some family names which have sealing
ordinances that need to be done! Would some of you enjoy doing them? Let us
know & we will get them to you!
Love to all & CTR Bro & Sis Croft
