Dearest Family,
The clock says 9:40 p.m. This daylight saving time is really hard on
this lady – oh- my - gosh – I feel like it is much later, by yesterday’s time it
is only 8:40 p.m. but I shall try & get my thoughts together! It really
has been a wonderful day! We taught 4 classes today. It is so perfect when one
feels like that the spirit is there, witnessing to the truth of this great
work! It has been a wonderful day! This evening in the center was great also,
4-6 youth working together, consultants helping & youth helping each other
also. Some consultants were working, learning more by indexing & others
researching!
We have had some special appointments this week – One sister is working
so hard at indexing, She has recently retired because of health problems, lives
alone & wants to do something worthwhile! It is amazing to watch as she
overcomes her lack of computer skills & is progressing, doing a great job of
indexing the obit’s. Her patience learning computer skills is amazing & she
has a sharp mind when it comes to learning the details of indexing! I sure
admire her! It is a testimony to me of the Lord’s hand helping her! It is
really there!
On Wednesday evening, we helped with a youth group, I was helping a
young lady, 14, from a disfunctional family. She stays with her Grandma on
Wednesday & Sunday so she can attend church. She was learning to index, had
indexed several obituaries, & I had been unable to read how she felt! About
this time, she paused, & looked up from typing & said: “ I really like
to do this, it is fun! “ The spirit bearing record of this work to her – Yes!
Dad’s been doing outside work on the warmer days when he has a free minute.
Supposed to be warm and dry for the next couple weeks so we can get more done
outside.
We have some friends who used to live in Lovell & have now moved
away – not members – an amazed that we are still their friends even tho they are
not interested in the church. Dad still visits with him probably on a monthly
basis. While talking, he asked about Dad teaching him about Family History,
whatever we were teaching everyone else. In the background, his wife echoed
the same interest. Dad has been teaching them, via phone, the past several weeks
to fill in the Family Stories Book on line! The other day while we were gone,
he left a message, Thanking Dad, & expressing how much fun & how easy
it was! They are both having a wonderful time!
We had a trip to Cody on Friday a.m., It was time to get the plates
transferred to the new Rave4 and finalize the sale of our old one. We did some
shopping at Wal Mart & stopped at Murray’s to pick up hamburger! It has
been enjoyable to watch BB tournament games of a lot of the youth we work with!
Our modern technology is wonderful for so many things! It was also nice to have
dinner Saturday night with the Grants! Bo & McKinzea, Kenny & Rosie
were all here visiting. We enjoyed all of them so very much! The company was
the greatest! Thanks also for the yummy food!
Love you all!
