Started out as a very normal week

Dearest Family

        Happy Birthday to Krysta on Sunday, September 20  Hope you had a very special day!!!!

       

        Started out as a very normal week – Monday it was so good to be at the Public Library again, even tho it was a little slow.   A new librarian there had received a phone call wondering if they had microfilms of old Lovell newpapers.    No,   but she & I did do a lot of looking & research  trying to see what we could find.   Wednesday she came to the FHC to look at micro films which we have there of the Big Horn Basin wards.   She was able to find  a record of a marriage which the man was looking for.

        Monday evening was another one of our FHE with  Bishop Mike Jones & family.   It was great, also had Ed & Sheraldean there, was a cousins night with the Jones.  What was the most special was his daughters were able to find names to take to the temple!  What a great night!  But after we came home Bro Croft’s cold turned into a real bugger!   Lots of coughing & not any sleep for several nights. All the forest fire smoke and local crop residue burning had set him up for a wreck.

 

    Our week changed, Several cancelations, & most of the other appointments in homes I was able to do!  Tuesday evening I still taught our decendency class. It was our day in the FHC on Wednesday, I missed my companion being at both events.  There were other FH Consultants who helped me cover it.  Thursday a.m. in Cowley worked out OK,  we have a sister consultant who helped that day!  Enjoyed a Relief Society Soup Luncheon which they have there, but again missed my companion.  (I missed all the serving too, a lot more exciting than watery eyes, sore throat and nasal drip.)    Just don’t like it when he is sick!  He slept in the recliner until Sat night.

    I did enjoy  a little more time at home tho.   Stayed busy sewing on several projects  which was so nice!  Whitney’s quilt is finished & started a quilt for Allen & Ambers baby boy!  Now I am looking forward to starting Lindsay & Conner’s Wedding quilt!  We got some tomato cuttings started for our green house now that cold nights and soon to be frost will take care of our plants outside. Planted some greenhouse cucumber too.

      

     Wednesday evening Bro Croft did do a 11 yr old Scout nature hike on our place with 10 boys and leaders. Everyone enjoyed feeding all the ant lions the best. We have dozens of pits around this fall and lots of big 2 to 3 inch ones.  Then on Friday afternoon we helped a couple with family History in rural Lovell!   I am so glad he is feeling better.   This week end was great – Stake conference with Elder Deshler of the Seventy!  Also had the new mission president  and temple president speak in our meetings. We met the new mission president and wife, the Wadsworth’s from Nevada who came in July.  We were able to share with he & his wife a few things about FH in our Stake & how the stake FHC and consultants are prepared  to help the missionaries as they use it as a proselyting tool!  We feel they have a testimony of FH work as a vital part of reactivation of members and as a finding tool for new converts.

    Then tonight was our monthly meeting with the Youth Family History consultants!   How great they are! They always have so much insight on what other youth can benefit from. We appreciate our HC men being there and encouraging them each meeting.

Love you all CTR always!
