Dearest Family,   

    What a surprise – no birthdays.......no anniversaries this week! 

    It has been a beautiful week – the weather was great – warm & nice!  Dad was able to trap some more Quail this week, that has been fun for him.  He now has 4 pair of California quail. He has also been busy with yard work, doing a little every day!   I have been working on UFO’s  Un Finished Objects (the quilting kind), that have been setting in the sewing room for a lo-o-o-o-g time.   It has been fun!  I have a lq quilt ready to go to a quilter! I am doing the hand work on the binding on a Christmas wall hanging, that is going fast!  We also enjoyed watching via the computer with Chromecast to our TV many of the Regional Basketball tournament games in Star Valley this week end!  Several of our youth FH consultants plus grandchildren were there. Saw the girls dance several times!  Saturday was a busy day for that, they each played two games! 

    Had several patrons to help in the Public library on Monday, plus doing training of new FH missionaries that have been called in the stake.   They are helping train each other & are also going to the various wards in the stake to help there.  One day we experimented with people in SLC, trying to figure out why our WEB-EX on line training doesn’t work correctly.   Still don’t know, but maybe we have ruled out a few things! Also did Skype training with a HP Grp leader in the Cody Stake on Thursday evening for 2 hrs with his 9 yr old son anxiously watching too! Had a call from the HC men in the Gillette stake as they do final prep for priesthood leader training this coming Sat for their stake conference. This stake is moving forward in a wonderful way too!  We continue to help stakes get their internet issues resolved so they can do FH in their ward buildings.

    Today was amazing!   Arrived at the church 45 minutes before meetings were to start!   Two Spanish speaking missionaries were the first people we saw!  One goes home in May, he & Dad found several names for him to take to the temple!   The other one had just arrived, he is from Costa Rica & knows nothing about Family History!   He was so amazed with the Whole process.  He didn’t know the names of some of his living grand parents & was so happy thattomorrow is pDay and he could ask his mother on his email!  We were adding hints in Costa Rica from church records & other civil records. He just thought it was the coolest!!!!!   We then attended the Burlington 2nd ward & presented a 1st Sunday lesson in RS/Priesthood – exposing 50 plus adults to what is available on the apps!  While Dad was setting up during S School time, I was working with one of their FH Consultants.  Later in the day, I was able to spent time with a FH Consultant teaching her about the apps!  Her comment, “this is great, relaxing, I can do it anywhere”

    Even while we were eating lunch in the kitchen we had 6 people asking questions & follow-up with questions. Two of these were from families where we had done FHE’s some time ago!   One sister shared with us how she had learned about 191 indexed records from Vermont which had been added to Family Search.  One of those indexed records was a baby in one of her families which no one knew about!  A miracle! Our last activity of the day was in the home of the Burlington 1st High Priest Group Leader.   He & his wife, two youth FH Consultants & the Bishop & his wife!  Another perfect scenario!!!!  If this process was going on in every ward, FH in our Area would be going at Super sonic speed! ! This ward is going great!!!!!   Oh & Darece gave a RS 1st Sunday lesson on the FS apps, had 17 sisters learning about it.  

         We love you all   Mom & Dad
