A great FHE – with a very special family!

November 10, 2013

Dearest Family,   
    One of the best weeks!   A great FHE – with a very special family!  It was great!  Some looked for names for the temple, one looked for pictures & stories about ancesters, an another wrote a story of an ice cream party with Grandpa!  Before going we were blessed to find a story of an ancester who had the same professions as the Father in this home! It was a story which he had not heard before!  Another “Rest of the Story”, a family where we had held a FHE, reported of going to the temple & doing some baptisms with their family. Mom & Dad also did some sealings. It was the first time they had done them since their marriage 15 + years ago!

    As always, our Sunday was amazing!  Another ward did the “My Family, Stories That Bring Us Together” lesson!  Each Bishop does such an amazing job giving this lesson & today was no exception! 5 of the 8 wards in the stake have now done this lesson! Two more are scheduled to do it soon!  We love helping with this lesson!  We had three SS classes today, all with workshops, it seems every one is about ready to start new classes. Several wards are doing SS classes on their own & that is great, also!  We have also spent time with new consultants in two different wards! They are excited about their callings!

    One of our Youth Consultants brought her younger brother into the FHC this evening, she’s helping him find names for the temple when he turns 12 next year!  Another Sister today came to a class in Cowley, her niece, a Youth consultant, had spent the night with her & got her all excited about working on her Family History again!

     Wednesday, Rob, Krysta & I were able to attend a Luncheon for Scholarship recipients at Northwest College.  It was great to be together for a ‘to short of a time’! Must be satisfied with what ever we have.  We were also able to attend a 8th grade basketball game in Lovell, Ky was playing on the Powell team & we enjoyed cheering for him! That evening was our FHConsultant training meeting & Bro Croft did a great job leading a discussion on ways we can make our FHC a better place.  He also taught a few things about adding pictures & stories.

    Our Thursday FH morning in Cowley was really busy! We are glad to be offering that community FH 2x each week! We setup special appointments with 3 patrons on Friday afternoon at the FHC which went really well!
    Saturday we did the rest of our pDay going to the Lake boat fishing but since it was too cold be came in and shore fished instead. It was a nice time to be out again.
Special thanks to Darece, she helped us with the processing of our 2nd deer!  Sure feel blessed to have this meat for the coming year!

    We have had fun appointments with everyone this week, and are looking forward to a busy week coming up.
 
    The Lord continues to bless this area in doing more FH work and we see the blessing it is to the families each day!   CTR
 
We love you all!

Bro & Sister Croft
