We hope each of you have had a wonderful week!

Dearest Family,

    How are all of you?  We hope each of you have had a wonderful week! Time flies so fast – we hope & pray that each of you have done something fun this week, that you have enjoyed one of Heavenly Father’s creations, & feel you are more like Him this week than you were last!

    Our week has been a special one, busy with our regular schedule, but often that is the best!

Today we spent our Sunday in Powell visiting two town wards & the Young Single Adult ward! We met with High Priest Group Leaders, Consultants & the FHCenter Director.  As with all the wards they are ready & excited to move forward & are feeling that prompting & drive that it is what the Lord wants them to do!  All day today, we were helping & wishing for the “Descendant with Tasks” to be available on the i0S devices!  Then at 7:30 tonight in a group of youth FH Consultants, one of the Young Men said, “Look it is right here!”   We are doing some more checking & are praying it will continue to work! (the new version is 1.7.1) You can check out yours! It is so exciting & amazing how the Lord’s work is moving forward!

    Had a nice FHE with the Grants,   Kenny & Rosie came out one noontime & he took aerial pictures of our place with his drone!  Wow – it is so amazing all we can do!  We have also done training with several HP group Leaders over Skype! Dad kept setting up the new desktop computer getting all the program on it we need, plus we did some Skype training with a HP Grp leader in Worland to try it out. It works better than the older slow one. On Wednesday evening we had a wonderful visit with our Stake President about our mission and how our new Area call was coming along!

    The Rky Mtn Tree service cut 20' off the top of the big 65' Blue Spruce tree behind the house so it didn't break off in the wind and hit our roof. They did a great job and the tree looks nice, just shorter. We enjoyed going ice fishing for the first time this winter at pond 5. There was 4" of snow on the foot thick ice so it was nice walking out to our spot. At the bite time 10 am we had some bites but then nothing more, could see lots of fish below us on the sonar. Thats why its called fishing. Nice to be out and get some sun even though it was 30' temp. We headed back home at 11am with no fish to clean.

 One of our special experiances

   For several years we had been working with 80+ year old Brother Bob in a local Assisted Living Facility where he & his wife are living.  His first goal was to review his family history & find ordinances. While still working on this, the Memory App came out with the ability to add photos and audio stories.  Now Brother Bob, was a great story teller & he had boxes of photos still in his possession.  For the next several months, a lot of photos were scanned into his tree.and each week he recorded stories.  We then added them to his tree & linked them to his deceased ancestors & to himself.

     Just last week when we arrived, we found him waiting for us in the foyer. His first words were, "I've got some more stories to tell!  Did you bring your device?"  He went on to tell us that one of his sons, who is not active, had been surfing the web.  He had googled his grandfathers name & up had popped one of the stories his father had recorded.  He called his Dad & they visited & he suggested some other stories which he wanted his father to record. He now has over 60 audio stories in his FS Tree.

 

Our love to all of you!  How great you are & CTR      Mom & Dad
