All morning we were excited to see Nathan!

Dearest Family,        Happy Birthday, Ky!  This is a big one, he is now 16!

    What a wonderful day it has been!!!! All morning we were excited to see Nathan!  He had arrived home in Lovell very early this morning, 4:00 a.m. ish.   While we were in Cowley today, abt 11:30, we decided to listen to Jake Jones, a grandson of Ed Jones, who was reporting his mission!   He is also a very good friend of Nat’s.  We moved chairs into to the back of the overflow area to listen & someone reached back to shake Bro Croft’s hand!  It was Nathan. He, Whitney & Talon, had come to listen, too.  I jumped up to give him a hug! After another FH class, we returned to Lovell 2nd ward to hear him speak!    He did a great job!  Had a couple more classes & then it was off to the Grant home for dinner!  What a great evening with family!  Rob, Michelle, Krysta & Josh, Allen, Amber & family, and the extended Grant family, in all over 60 people.

    This has been an exciting week!  Library Day was especially busy,  during the 3 hrs we were there we helped seven people!  One sister was helping two others learn to index & I was just the support system!  It was great, but very busy!  We have met several times this week with a couple our age who are being sustained as Stake FH Consultants.  They just got new tablets & we have helped them get them all set up! It was fun to have her share about an experience she had this morning, trying to solve a problem with an ancestor – she just happened or was inspired to read a story posted in FS – and there was the answer!

        Our Memories App classes have been so exciting!  This week there were nine, including us.  This group was amazing, some were consultants, learning about the Apps, but all were helping each other! They were all so excited, had fun & caught the vision of recording their audio stories!  When the spirit testifies of these things it is so great!  We also had a FH Consultant class this week & helped with it!  My elderly Sister is adding pictures & is amazed! While at the Living Center, we happened to mention how our Rave had died & Bro. S  told stories for an hour & a half about his Father’s mechanic shop & his experiences with fixing cars & tractors!   He had said he was just about out of stories!

    It was so nice to  work with others this week – even tho we visit some every week, they are always amazed at all the things they can do!  Bro Packer’s funeral was great on Friday!  So much doctrine about the here after is taught at the funerals of the Apostles!

    We did have several afternoons free & I completed Rosie & Kenny’s Quilt!   We have also went to the mountain several times this week, had a nice visit with Joy & Tchae tonight!  Bro Croft was able to talk to Aunt Betty. She has had two Cochlear implants recently. She was able to talk a little better. We are so grateful for that!

    I’ll try later this week to sent out info on numbers for Big Sky & the schedule!   We love you all,   CTR  See you all soon!

    Love you all – Bro & Sis Croft
