Dearest
Family,
Happy
Birthday, Chris, on
Monday!
Happy Birthday, Aunt Marlene on
Thursday!
Happy Birthday, Amber, on
Saturday!
We hope you each have a wonderful day!
Each
week goes by so quickly! ZOOM training with 3 couples! A
trip to the lake with the boat - weather was great - lake was calm -
started to pull away from the dock & the steering was all locked
up - could not turn it any direction - came home! Dad, the
great repairman, went into action & soon had it fixed! He
did learn after doing some research that there are several parts of
the steering mechanism which needs to be greased & cleaned every
year! So. . . now we will try on
Monday!
Thursday morning,
after a month of them scheduling & canceling, we were finally
able to have a conference call with the Development team of the
FamilySearch Tree & Memories Apps! There were probably 6 people
on the call & it was a choice opportunity to visit with them!
Thursday evening
was another very spiritual & wonderful evening with the
TFH Consultants of our stake. We were sharing with them one of
the "Gatherers of the Kingdom" presentations which is just
for consultants! Their comments were so inspired and they were
able to see & understand the vision of this work! They were
seeing that 1 on 1 is the way to teach. These new presentations are
so inspired & we are excited to share them!
Saturday we
traveled to Livingston, Montana & in the evening did 1 on 1
presentations with the Bishop & his wife, then Mom & Dad did
with their two children, who are old enough to attend the temple.
How amazing it is when this is done & each person is able to
print out an ordinance card for a special family member. All four of
them had a card in hand which for someone they had found!
Sunday we
attended this ward & were welcomed by the member of the
bishopric who was conducting. During SS time we taught the ward
council the "Gatherers of the Kingdom" presentation just
for them - also in attendance was a member of the Temple Presidency &
his wife, Pres & Sis Melin, whom we invited to attend went we saw
them in the ward. In these presentations we talk about the spiritual
& doctrinal side of T&FH & the many blessing which we
each receive when we each prepare and take our own name to the
temple.
During
the second hour, RS/Priesthood time we did hands on, like we usually
do. Pres. Melin offered inspired council about the Stake boxes
which are at the Billings Temple & how they are actually a spirit
prison for the names in them, some have been there as long as 9
years! Comments were shared by all which continued to add to
the spiritual atmosphere of the meeting. Bishop ended with an
emotional testimony of his experience Saturday evening
when he was looking at the draft registration cards for a great
grandfather who had filled out cards for both WW1 & WW2. On one
of them it told his occupation & that he was missing one of his
hands! He testified of how important it was to get to know each of
the individual that we do the ordinances for.
As
Dad was getting things picked up a young man with his wife &
baby, came up to him & introduced himself as Ryan, a member of
the Development team of the FamilySearch Tree & Memories Apps.
(They were visiting friends in Livingston). He had been on the
conference call with us on
Thursday!!!!!!
We an amazing visit with him & so enjoyed meeting him!
As we have looked back over the events of this day, we can see the
Lord's hand in accomplishing this work!
We
feel so blessed to be a part of this great work - his sacred Plan of
Happiness!
We
love you all Have a great week! Mom & Dad
