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
