Happy Birthday to Marlene on Monday & Happy Birthday to Amber on
Wednesday!
Hope you each have a wonderful day! We hope each of you had a wonderful 4th
of July! We do live in a wonderful country! We spent part of the day at home,
staying out of the heat – 100 degrees several different days! Mid-afternoon we
received a call from a family traveling thru the area, returning home to Utah
from their vacation. She had had family who had lived in this area, Great
grandparents I think and wanted to take pictures of where it might have been.
We met them at the FHC, learned a few things & made a few phone calls. We
did locate where their homestead might have been & were able to take them to
that place east of town! They then went on to Byron, where the great
Grandfather & Mother are buried! We’ll do some calling next week & will
probably be able to find out more info which we can email to them. We enjoy
these experiences so much! We enjoyed the Annual Rael Barbeque, it is a fun
event in Cowley. It is fun to visit with friends & enjoy great food! did n’t
stay for the fireworks tho – I did watch a few on TV!
This week one of the older Sisters that we help each week decided to
learn to scan pictures! Bro Croft had installed software on her computer some
time ago. We showed her all the steps & wrote instructions for her, then we
went thru them step by step! I called her several days later to see how she
was doing & she had scanned 30 more all by herself! She planned to do more
during the rest of the week. What an amazing 88 year old! This week we will
teach her how to put them in Family Search!
Our Memories App class on Tuesday evening was great also! There were a
few less people because of the holidays, but one on one is always best & we
were a little short on consultants to help! Today in most of our classes worked
on recording also! Had several sisters today who are going to family reunions
this next weekend & plan to records the stories which are told! They will
do great!
At the Public Library, R H had been reading a book in a comfortable
chair, it’s a cool in there, it happened to be abt a 100 degrees outside. Abt
2:45 he brought his bulging brief case over to where I was, I have helped with
this briefcase before! We solved several questions which he had & then were
finishing up! He pulling a small book out of somewhere – titled Authors of
1927 or something like that. “my grandmother has a poem in here which she
wrote!” The book fell open to the page. “Brother R H” I replied, “you should
read that poem on the Memories App & Bro Croft could help you put it in
Family Search” Bro Croft had just happened to come to where we were, & the
two disappeared to a quieter corner of the Library. Bro R H practiced reading
the poem once, them recorded it. He is so excited, he is a great story teller
& has had a very interesting life, is a convert to the church. He is
converted to the idea of recording his experiences! What a special experience
it was! We see the Lord’s hand working in so many ways each week!
We have also had some special times this week with a couple who are
thinking about doing an “at home mission”. They are learning the basics of FS
& will soon be able to help others.
We took our first trip to the mountains on Friday – it is the beginning
of at least weekly trips to help G’Bob get acclimatized to the higher elevation!
I have included a picture of a Blue Grouse which strutted across the highway in
front of us & posed for a picture!
Remember we love you all, CTR & it is not long until BIG
SKY! Our love Bro & Sis Croft
